Among the Olive Branches

Among the Olive Branches: Serifos

Summer escapes don’t get much better than this. Tucked away on the dreamy island of Serifos, this gorgeous home is the perfect setting for a relaxing Mediterranean getaway with all your favourite people.

We’re big fans of the interior here – think muted tones and cool, stone walls – but it’s the outside space that really captured our imagination. Boasting a sun-soaked patio complete with private pool and breath-taking ocean views, this place has ‘idyllic’ written all over it. Grab a seat on one of the poolside sun loungers and settle in for a day of tanning or beat the heat with a cool glass of wine on the shaded veranda.

When you’re in the mood to explore, you’ll find yourself within easy reach of the island’s best beaches. Catch some rays by the sparkling Mediterranean Sea or lace up your hiking boots and set off for an invigorating walk in the mountains. Then, when you’ve had your fill of the great outdoors, jump in the car and head to Hora – the island’s capital – for a refreshing drink at one of the local bars. Cheers!
