THE TIMES UK, 2022, An arty place to stay in Greece. Simple, secluded and soulful, her home is a short stroll from sandy Karavi beach. The little guesthouse in the garden is a peaceful retreat, perfect for writers and artists, but also for families. Guests can dip into a growing library of Greek literature in translation and help themselves to fruit ripening in the verdant gardens.

Long Story Short

Everyone, without a single exception, had a great laugh with my desire to build a small, stone built home and a detached guest-home in Serifos during early 1990s since brick is the easiest material for modern constructions. But it has happened as hoped. It was built by local artisans; with local stone. It was characterized as a prototype house for Cyclades and it was a low budget story that needed much tenacity and loads of personal labor. It has been more than 50 years since a stone house got built on the island, which is a rock in its entity.
