Astarti Apartments

We stayed in the two bedroom apartment which we really recommend. It is on the first floor and has a big terrace overlooking the street which gets the sun through the day. We didn’t hear any noise from other apartments and the street is pretty quiet. The apartment is well equipped and has everything that you need for a comfortable stay. It is kept spotlessly clean and is serviced every day. Big thanks to Claudia. The owner, Elias, is super helpful and hospitable. He welcomed us and spent lots of time telling us about all the best things to do on Serifos, including renting a car to get to the old mines at Mega Livadi. A fascinating place with a couple of very traditional restaurants right next to the beach. We had a great lunch at the Cyclops, including a traditional egg plant dish called Imam, which was amazing. If you drive around the island, watch out for the bee-eaters on the wires - there were loads of them in May. The walk to or from Chora is a good one and there is bus service on weekdays. Nice cafe in the Town Hall Square there - the one with blue tables. The walk from Chora to Kallitsos is challenging. It is overgrown with prickly vegetation and the route is not easy to follow in places. If you do it, take the inconspicuous descending trail to the right just before the junkyard.
