The island of Serifos is located in the western part of the Cyclades. It is bordered by Kithnos from the north and Sifnos from the south.
Serifos might have been inhabited as early as in the prehistoric times, based on evidence found in the cave of Koutalas. It is a well-known fact that the Cretan civilization was present here; they were engaged in mining on the island. Later the Phoenicians and the Mycenaeans also arrived in the area. There are several monuments that have been preserved from that period. They were under the dominion of the Romans during the era of the Roman Empire. The Romans sent political exiles to the island. During the Middle Ages, the Byzantians and the Venetians were ruling over the island. You can still see the Venetian architecture in the capital today. In the period of the Turkish occupation, the island began to decline, but started to flourish again following the Greek Revolution. Serifos’ economy was based on the mines; the locals were better off when these were operating. Today, Serifos has a small population; they are engaged in agriculture and fishing.
The weather in Serifos is basically the same as that of the other members of the Cyclades. The warmest and driest period is in July and August. During this time, there is practically no precipitation, and the average daily temperature is above 24 degrees Celsius. The temperature of the sea is also 24 degrees, making it perfect for swimming and diving. The summer wind Meltemi and the winter Sirocco are strongly present on the island. If you prefer less windy beaches, we recommend the ones located in the southeast.
Serifos used to be a mining island; the iron mines were operating until 1964 since the ancient times with shorter and longer breaks. Today, they are nothing but a tourist attraction. You can find them on the southwestern side of the island. There is also a monument here commemorating the victims of the 1919 miners’ strike. If you visit the mines, you must definitely see the mine of Koutalas as well. Unfortunately, you have to stop at the entrance, as entry is forbidden due to the risk of collapse. If you would like to get to know the history of Serifos better, we recommend that you visit the Folklore Museum and the Archaeological Museum in the capital.
It is definitely worth trying local specialties; there are several traditional restaurants in Serifos. They often have fava – pureed yellow peas – at festivals. You should also taste the locally-produced, sun-dried tomato. If you like fish, you will love this place! There is a wide variety of popular local fish to try including mullet, swordfish and cuttlefish.
This is a sandy beach with a great location. You can find Agios Sostis Chapel nearby on a cliff; there is a wonderful view from here. The beach is family-friendly with no pebbles and slowly deepening water. There are also trees providing a nice shade.
The long sandy beach is located next to the port of the village Livadi. Livadi is among the most popular tourist destinations, so there are a lot of services offered on the beach. You can find bars and restaurants 20 metres from the beach, and there are sunshades and chairs as well. The part of the beach near Livadi might be crowded, so if you would like to relax in a more peaceful environment, you should go further towards the other end.
Should you prefer perfect relaxation, the beach of Sikamia is the place to go. This spot can be found in the northern part, far from most establishments. The only town nearby is Galani, but people rarely visit from there, so you can enjoy the beach practically in complete isolation.
This is also a family-friendly sandy-pebbly beach with slowly deepening water. It can be found on the southwestern side of the island. Its great advantage is that it is protected from the winds; the summer wind Meltemi hardly ever reaches the place. There are some beach bars here as well.
