Alexandros Vassilia

Serifos

Slap bang in the centre of gloriously sandy Livadakia beach, this small complex of rooms has an enviable location.

Standard rooms are named Comfort - ours are on the first floor. They are double-bedded with AC, WiFi, TV, room-safe, fridge, hairdryer, shower room and mountain view balcony, and have a rustic style of decor and furnishing. The Executive rooms are also first floor but have updated furnishings and sea view balcony. The Deluxe Suites on the first floor at the front are spacious with upgraded furnishings and large sea-facing balcony from which to admire the view.

To the front of the rooms is a well-liked traditional taverna. Sun beds on the beach are free for customers, with shade provided by the tamarisk trees that line the beach.

It is a 10 minute walk up and over the headland to the main port of Livadi, with its choice of shops, cafes and tavernas.

Only 20m from the sea, beach-lovers could not find a better spot. Livadakia is one of the finest beaches on Serifos - a beautiful curve of soft fine sand shelving into an aquamarine sea.
