Transportation
Transportation from Livadi to Hora, Psili Ammos and Megalo Livadi is not frequent enough and you may need to wait some time in order to be transported. However, there are some taxis on the island that will take you fast and comfortably to your destination. In order to explore the island, which is relatively big so you cannot visit all the beaches on foot, you can rent a vehicle to move around comfortably and freely. You should, however, book the vehicle before your arrival on the island as, especially during summer, you may find it difficult to rent a car or a motorbike due to the increased number of tourists.

You can move around Serifos island in two ways, by bicycle or by taking one of the local buses, that connect the two main settlements, Livadi and Hora, as well as those between them. That's because Serifos' roads are too narrow and you'll face difficulties to park your car, so local buses will untie your hands. Routes are not frequent, however you'll save time and you'll keep your nerves low, instead of vainly searching for a parking for your car. You can buy your ticket inside the bus, from the bus driver or the collector.

Magnet ...

The Active magnetic field in combination with the cycladic environment create the ideal suggestion for relaxing holidays in the Cyclades. Here in serifos, the 'metallic' rocks of the island, give another dimension to your vacation! Leeward beaches in the hug of steep rocks, almost all with thick natural shade from tamarisks on the wave, with crystal blue waters and golden beaches and white-washed villages are some of the features that will make your holiday unforgettable. The whole island is a balcony to the Aegean sea, with view to the north  Kythnos, Siros to the northeast, Paros to the east, Sifnos to the southeast and Milos to the south. At various points of the island, you will find beautiful terraces, built since many years in order to be given the possibility to create small farmlands.

The best dish of the gastronomy of Serifos, is ''revithada'' which is cooked in a very special way and is considered as the 'santa claus' dish of Serifians. The chickpeas are boiling all night in the oven, along with raisins from the variety ' platiracho ', laurel and mainly with the back part of the tenderloin of the pig, not excluding the tail! Dish of unique flavour and originality. From the pork are made the 'luzes' and the 'sausages', 'tsigarides' (pork cooked with potatoes), as well as 'siglina'. Taste split peas in a feast, skepastaria, fennel balls and sun-dried octopus, 'turlu' (potato pumpkin with meat), but also delicious local cheeses: the serfian, the sour cheese of charani, the sour cheese, the peppery and the Laina's cheese..

Monastery castle of the Seneschals

The monastery built in 1572 with fortress construction with tall precincts, battlements, small openings in the walls and the only entrance (low loggia) at a height of 4 meters, without a permanent ladder, to guard the icon of Seneschals that had to be saved from Cyprus, dominates the northeastern part of the island. It aquired a great wealth and fame that, causing the pirate attacks, has forced the monks to be warriors too.  The temple of great architectural interest, three recess, domed singled, wonderful iconostasis and old murals, hosts in the center of its floor, a marble stone with the double-headed eagle dating from 1659.

Serifos' "musts"

  • Ano Hora and Kato Hora are the island's "heart" and perhaps the villages that are so..."Aegean". You definitely won't visit them once and you surely won't be able to explore everything.
  • Swim on Ganema beach, the biggest on the island. If you want to catch a shade, you must be there early in the morning.
  • Watch the sunset from the island's Castle or from Mega Livadi. In both cases the view is unique, but if you choose the Castle, you'll have to walk for 15 minutes.
  • Have a drink in "Aerino", perhaps the most fairy-tale bar in Cyclades. It's located in Hora and it's domestic architecture, as well as decorative colors, will make you believe you are living in a fairy-tale.
  • Serifos has the famous "Louza", a special appetizer, a kind of smoked pork meat.

Don't forget

In almost every beach you will have to carry anything you need, as none of them are organized. You'll definitely need a sea-umbrella, as shades are very few.

Many paths are tough to be crossed and most of the dirt-roads need to be patient and careful when driving. Some days there is a very strong wing blowing in the island, so you better ask a local about the condition of the beach you're about to go to.

Happy Holidays in Serifos!!!
