Who we are

We know the island like the back of our hand. We love the rugged landscapes and the incredible vistas to the Aegean Sea. We call most of the people here by their first name. We feel deeply rooted in this community that evolves without losing touch with its authenticity and innocence.

This is the compass that helps us set the course for Verina Hotels; what we are and what we offer. Miltos, Isidora, Nikos, Sofia and the rest of the gang, we will discreetly and lovingly attend to everything you might need while you are in our company.

But our take on filoxenia, the “love of visitors” that embodies Greek hospitality, is not only that. Every summer, we also aspire to offer you the opportunity to become part of Sifnos, even for just a while. For us, this is the ultimate luxury.

Miltos Salemis

Miltos knows and loves every inch of Sifnos, with the island being an inseparable part of his life since he was born. With his wife Isidora, they run the Verina and Bostani properties. He is the operations mastermind, taking care of the daily operation of the hotels and the management of the team. He is always happy to share the secrets of Sifnos – restaurants, nightlife, beaches, trekking paths, hideaway spots. Consider Miltos your most valuable source in Sifnos and enjoy his tips.

Nikos Thomas

Originally music was his life’s passion, but when Nikos accidentally started working for a professional kitchen, he became hooked and traded his drums for the chef’s knives! After his studies in cooking, he worked in several high-end restaurants in Athens and hotels across Greece. He has also worked as the F&B manager in the hit TV show Masterchef in Greece. In 2015, he introduced to the Athens gastronomic scene Simul, a restaurant he co-owns, and immediately made a name for himself. His passion and philosophy made him the ideal chef for the Bostani Bar & Restaurant at Sifnos.

Sofia Konstantakopoulou

Sofia is the person behind most of the beautiful pictures you see on our website. She is a professional photographer and has shown her work in many group exhibitions. Sofia has worked all over Greece and abroad, but she found her muse in Sifnos. The island has inspired her from the very first moment she set foot on it a few years ago. That is also the reason why it was so natural for her to take on the task of managing our social media. Now she spends all summers on Sifnos capturing with images and words the essence of the island and the Verina experience for our Instagram followers.
