Marousa's

Serifos


Up above Ramos Beach, this inviting complex offers 11 simple but well-equipped one- and two-bedroom apartments. The handsome couple who run it put on a delicious breakfast spread including homemade jams, and olives and capers from their own garden. It's a steep 1km walk southwest of town, above Ramos Beach; best with your own wheels. The wi-fi is terrible, though.
