Rooms are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Food
You will be served six brunches, six dinners, and five snacks included in the price. Yummy, vegetarian food is served under Blue Yoga Serifos' open-air, bamboo-roof dining area. Using local, and whenever possible organic products, their cook blends the Mediterranean and Cycladic cuisines to prepare fresh, mouth-watering meals. Exquisite Serifian honey and cheese, free-range eggs, and freshly baked goodies add a unique flavor to your daily brunch. At dinner, colorful salads, funky nibbles, and traditional main courses come together to create a healthy and balanced meal.
