Serifos islandUntamed beauty and unspoiled landscapes
Famed for its sugar-cubed houses, incredible number of pristine beaches, and steadfast traditions, Serifos is one of the hidden gems of the Cyclades islands.
Blue or green, shallow or deep waters, sand or pebbles, shaded or sun-drenched, blessed by a chapel or garnished with its very own taverna, Serifos Island has a great variety of beaches to satisfy every palate.
Abandoned mountain villages with astonishing views are connected with the majestic beaches through lovely trails, creating mesmerizing sceneries in the hinterland of Serifos.
Serifos’s main town has a picture-perfect beauty, from the castle-top views of the Aegean to the Cycladic architecture and bougainvillea-filled courtyards. The architecture, churches, and whitewashed alleyways are unmistakably Cycladic. And the scene is brought to life with colorful houses, bougainvillea-filled courtyards, and the heart-warming smells of wood-fired ovens.
Serifos Island is also rich in history and culture. Visit the temple of Apollo, where you can still see the remains of this ancient sanctuary. Explore the island’s mining heritage at the Mining Museum, which tells the story of the island’s once-thriving industry. Stroll through the quaint village of Megalo Livadi and admire the restored neoclassical buildings.
But perhaps the most extraordinary charm of Serifos lies in its laid-back and welcoming atmosphere. The island embraces a slower pace of life, allowing you to truly unwind and escape the slower pace of life.
