Serifos is one of those Cycladic islands you fall in love with at first sight. Despite being just a short distance from Athens, and offering perfect beaches, breathtaking sunsets, rich history, and incredible food, it doesn’t suffer from excessive tourism.
It is one of the Cycladic islands you fall in love with at first sight. Even though it is close to Athens and offers perfect beaches, enchanting sunsets, rich history, and amazing food, it doesn't suffer from excessive tourism. The first image one sees upon arriving in Serifos is the ridges with the "petrified figures," which evoke the myth of Perseus. Then, the boat turns toward the port, and you see Livadi and Chora before you—imposing, built atop a steep rock, with its cube-shaped houses arranged like steps, where one rooftop becomes the terrace of the house above it, cascading down the sharp slopes. Unlike other towns in the Cyclades, it faces east.
