Alex greets you with this every morning. Having scuzzed most of the sun and stars of the scrubby south of Sifnos, backpacking across elephant bones, jaggy spurge, stunted juniper, midgetly clawing mastic - a great workout if watching out for turned ankles. Medicane Ianos thankfully for me - yet I feel for people of Lefkas who have been blustered big - created rain. It was sensible to stay indoors on Serifos. Naias is not a hotel to socialise in, but it's safe, handy for the harbour. Leave your heavy stuff and hike up to the sunny blustery chora - one of the Cycladic lovelies. But it was too rainy on the Saturday - perfect excuse to use the strong WiFi. But get to the point eventually: mein host Alex is this: ''Good Morning Sunshine'' May we help you to kalo taxithi kalitero? Both mornings at a respectful hour, whether staying on or checking out Like a coffee? Such a cheery face He loves languages I know that even if his Swedish is not as fluent as his English He will still be greeted with love and admiration in Stockholm And the room with a view to Chora in blustery moods And the cleanliness, comfy bed, good shower Silent efficient fridge! Honestly a novelty Dimitria (sorry if I spelt your name wrong) Is another nice person who asked me if I wanted a coffee Was my hangover really that bad? All I had was milk, a tin of vine leaves, tomato juice And of course allday football on a Saturday When backbacking in Greece It's good to abandon the islands a wee bit And siga-siga Naias, and especially the character who is Alex Helps to recharge batteries of energy for more islands Good Morning Sunshine to you and Dimi xx…
I, NEVER post reviews when I am actually on a trip. But, this hotel, deserves amazing accolades! Last night, we arrived after dark and after travelling since 3am with a group of elderly older folks, that were, a handful to say the least. Management handed the group and all the Greek drama! I am travelling with my 80 year old mother, they have accommodated all with incredible easy and charm. Breakfast is plentiful, all is mind-blowing clean. The hot water and water pressure were outstanding! Especially aftet such a long, long sojourn! There is free Wi-Fi, the room had perfect air conditioning. We were met at the ferry by the kindest and nicest gentleman. I am thrilled the group was booked here....the view, cleanliness and professional kindness and amazing staff are worth your highest consideration!…
We just returned home on the 4th July having spent a week in this lovely hotel. Lovely position on the beach unlike many on this coast who have a steep wal/drive down to the beach. Almost all Greek people in the hotel and the resort of Hanioti which was no problem foe us. The nearby village of Hanioti was about 200. Metres from the hotel and bigger than we somehow expected. Staff were all very good from cleaning and waiting through to the excellent reception staff who went above and beyond when my husband left his wallet with cash and cards in a taxi coming back from Afoti......we were delighted that the wallet was returned intact following phone calls by the two ladies on reception....our sincere thanks to them.
We stayed in the hotel at the lowest season but still it was surprising to stay for 2 days without seeing any of the staff! We were advised to pick up our own key from the reception, find our own way in the hotel to our room and then just drop off the key on our way out. No breakfast was available. Heating of course was off and the air conditioner in the room took a full day to start changing the room comfort level from freezing cold to tolerable. My wife caught a cold that night in the room while taking a shower was classified as an act of bravery. Luckily there is plenty of alternatives in the summer.
We have visited the island many times and we always stay at Naias hotel. Our stay is always more than satisfactory. The staff is very helpful and hospitable. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend Naias hotel for an enjoyable stay at Serifos.
