It was on a cold day, during one of Chicago’s brutal winter months, that we made a reservation for a modest looking 1 bedroom suite on the small island of Serifos. |But it was on a beautiful Greek island summer day in our Bluebird rental car that we tumbled down the hill straight onto the town’s finest beach, pulling to a stop near the quaint picket fence protecting those within dear Stratos’s wonderful Galazio Seaside Apartments!||Travel is not easy and it doesn’t always work out in one’s favor, with schedule changes colliding with weather delays and worse, but due to cancelled ferries and disrupted flights, our original plan for a 3 night stay somehow stretched to 6 in this small and tranquil beach village that sleeps till at least 8:30 or 9 and then slowly the tables at Alexandro’s Restaurant where they serve “only greek food here”, or at Vassilio’s All-day Beach Bar, just next door, fill with people in various stages of beach undress while others seem to be moving tho not really awake yet….just real nice and easy. ||Yes, Stratos is the ultimate host and his accommodations are terrific.
