Serifos, a Hipster Island, top beaches and sights, Cyclades | exotic Greece (Σέριφος)

Serifos is a Greek island in the Aegean Sea, located in the western Cyclades, south of Kythnos and northwest of Sifnos.
In Greek mythology, Serifos is where Danaë and her infant son Perseus washed ashore after her father Acrisius, in response to an oracle that his own grandson would kill him, set them adrift at sea in a wooden chest. When Perseus returned to Serifos with the head of the Gorgon Medusa, he turned Polydektes, the king of Serifos, and his retainers into stone as punishment for the king's attempt to marry his mother by force.

Serifos is an island with beaches that cover all tastes. Rocky beaches, beaches with small pebbles and golden sand beaches with crystal-clear waters, beaches with road access, beaches with an access through picturesque paths and others that are accessible only by the sea. Picturesque villages built amphitheatrically on the hill slopes...
Miner settlements where the traces of the mining activity of the past years are still evident... and among them, the capital of Serifos, Chora, the first thing the visitors see when they arrive by boat, which seems to have climbed on the rock!

Serifos ist eine griechische Kykladeninsel. Ein Urlaubsort für alle, die lieber hinter die glitzernden Fassaden der berühmten Ressorts schauen. Die Szenerie verändert sich mit dem Licht. Wer schroffe Landschaften mag, wird die scheinbar versteinerten Hügel der Insel lieben. Im Hafen von Livadi werden Erinnerungen an vergangene, unschuldige Zeiten wach.


A quintessentially Cycladic island of brilliant light, clear water and steadfast traditions

Some islands remain essentially unchanged. Serifos is one of them; definitely a holiday destination for those looking for something above and beyond the glittery façade. The landscape here changes with the light. If you like rugged countrysides, you’ll be mightily impressed by the wonderful shapes nature has sculpted into the hillsides. In the port of Livadi, memories of older, more innocent times will come flooding back.

You’ll fall in love again at the beaches with their blue-green waters. Then there’s Hora, the island’s town, a vision in brilliant white cascading down its conical hill. There is a special gravitas to this place, felt by anyone seeking holidays untouched by mass tourism.

What to do on Serifos

Award-winning beaches
Take your pick; 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. Lia, Koutalas, Vagia, Ganema, Kalo Ambeli, Psili Ammos, Sykamia. You’ll need several summers to explore all 40 of Serifos’ officially recognised beaches – though the locals claim the number is actually 72 – unless you come by yacht.

Stairway to the castle
Whitewashed houses cling to each other as they perch on the rim of vertical rocks. Facing east, they seem to tumble down the slope, solid and fluid all at once. They rest on the scattered ruins of the ancient town, referred to by Xenophon. A stairway leads higher and higher to the Venetian castle that encloses the chapels of Agia Varvara, the Saviour, Agios Konstandinos and Agios Ioannis. The view from here is stunning.

Upstairs-downstairs… in Hora
Greeks and foreigners have bought and renovated many of the abandoned houses in the upper town – Ano Hora – and brought them back to life. The main square, Pano Piatsa, is dominated by the church of Agios Athanasios and the neoclassical Town Hall. At night it becomes one big party as the tables fill with appetisers, ouzo, coffees and other drinks. To avoid the heat, walk down to the lower town – Kato Hora – in the early morning. It’s a Cycladic maze of whitewashed alleys and small courtyards and cascading bougainvillea, a startling contrast with the bare expanse of mountains beyond.

The mining museum
The open-air mining museum, and illuminating chats with former iron miners, will give you insights into the island’s main source of income in years past.

Hidden gems of Serifos

The monastery of the Taxiarchs
Crenellations, battlements and high walls make it look more like a mediaeval castle. The most important monastery on the island,

Cyclops’ throne
The throne of Cyclops is at Cape Kyklopas, a spectacular location with a panoramic view of the southwestern side of the island. It really does look like a giant armchair and you can’t help wonder just how those seven huge carved boulders got up there.

View from above
At sunset, take the stone path the old miners used between the heliport and Hora and you’ll see a magical side to the island. This is the only spot where you can witness the town from above.

Στον αφρό του Λυβικού

Μια παραθαλάσσια διαδρομή σε μοναδικής ομορφιάς παραλίες
Ξεκινήσαμε από την μικρή εσωτερική παραλία του Αγίου Παύλου και ανεβήκαμε τα σκαλάκια μέχρι την κορυφή του αμμόλοφου. Κατεβήκαμε τον αμμόλοφο και περπατήσαμε πάνω στο κύμα στην μεγάλη εξωτερική παραλία του Αγίου Παύλου. Περπατώντας πάνω στον αφρό του κύματος περάσαμε από την παραλία Μέσα Τριόπετρα και συνεχίσαμε πάνω στον παφλασμό στην μεγάλη παραλία της Έξω Τριόπετρας. Περάσαμε διαδοχικά από τις εκπληκτικές παραλίες Ακουμιανή Γιαλιά ,Λίγκρες , Κεραμιανό Αμμούδι και κάναμε στάση στην παραλία της Αγίας Φωτεινής. Συνεχίζοντας παραλιακά περάσαμε πάνω από τους αμμόλοφους της Αγίας Ειρήνης με τα μοναδικά κρινάκια στην άμμο , από την παραλία Αμμούδι και κάναμε στάση για μπάνιο στην μοναδικής ομορφιάς παραλία Πρέβελη με το φοινικόδασος που εκβάλλει ο ποταμός Κουρταλιώτης.

Trekking at Lia beach northern Syros

The site is located at the north part of the island. It contains the mountain Syringas and is extended up to the northern coastal area. It is the only area in the island with limestones, in contrast to the rest of the island where volcanic rocks are the main geological components. There are many springs, surrounded by running water related vegetation, sea cliffs, inland cliffs, caves, screes and small gorges. At the coastal area there are not extended sand dunes. In general, the site can be considered as a typical phryganic ecosystem. Please Contact me for more Info at:nikosy72@gmail.com
