It’s all Greek to me

Around this time of year, it’s lovely to think of visiting the Greek islands. And here’s one newly created for you to enjoy.

You may remember that a couple of weeks ago, I told you that Sofia Standish had taken over the sim which her store was located on, and had re-designed it - and renamed it Serafina. Now there’s be a change of plan from the original idea, and Sofia has converted one side of the island into the most delightful Greek village, complete with a small Orthodox church and a taverna. Actually, I suspect that she’s expecting an influx of Brit tourists as the taverna supplies, among other things, a dartboard!

If that shows preparation for Brits (hopefully not on stag party weekends!), then the generous provision of watersports might be a testimony to Sofia’s Australian roots. There’s a huge public pool (as well as private pools attached to some villas), and a diving platform straight into the sea.

But to be more serious, this is a beautifully constructed little village. Sofia’s use of textures is in evidence throughout the build; I particularly love the blue tiling trims you see in the under-side of arches and the front facing of steps. The use of string white and vivid blue is stunning too - and there is a careful use of planting characteristic of the region throughout.

Sofia recommends you come and watch the sunset here - she says the effects are stunning - and I agree.
