Arrival on Serifos Adventure Pics

Welcome to Serifos! This is the home from where I will be jumping off for most of the next month.

The house has a lovely kitchen with a glassed-in cupboard, marble countertop and sink. I’ve been making use of the rough, locally made ceramic kitcheware.

View from the kitchen window looks over Livadi, a port city 2km below Hora where I am staying.

This is the living room area opposite the kitchen. The pillow on the left side is meant to ward off evil. The marble stairs lead up to a compact toilet/laundry room. Yes, this place is available for vacation rental. Email me for details!

The inside stairs are narrow but navigable. It is easiest to walk backward when descending. Long ago they likely replaced a much less steady ladder in this hatch. One can also access the second floor from the outdoors which is helpful.

I’m staying in the master bedroom which is far more spacious than this picture suggests, with a long row of white closets to the left of frame. You don't have to sleep on a sleeping bag here as there are sheets available, it's just that the last thing I want to do when I'm traveling is make the bed.

View of the lower section of Hora from a nearby walkway. The name Hora, can be confusing. Many of the islands in the Aegean have a town named Hora, densely built, high on a hillside with whitewashed stone and plaster homes. The difficult-to-navigate paths through them were originally meant to discourage invaders.
