Serifos, adored by many, this Cycladic island with its otherworldly beauty, is about 2 hours from the port of Piraeus by speedboat, and about 5 hours by conventional boat. It is located somewhere between Sifnos and Kythnos, while its population amounts to approximately 1,420 permanent residents.

Chora tis Serifos is undoubtedly the most impressive part of the island, while its enchanting alleys, its white chapels and its beautiful beaches with blue waters, cannot fail to steal your heart.

These are two beaches that hug a narrow strip of land. On the left side there is a magnificent small beach with pebbles, while on the right side the star is the beach actually called Agios Sostis, a beach with fine sand and clear blue waters. Of course, both are not organized beaches, so it would be wise to bring the essentials with you.

  • Fine Sand

Undoubtedly the most popular beach of Serifos. With golden sand, turquoise waters and tamarisk trees, Psili Ammos is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. In fact, in 2003, it was characterized by the Sunday Times as the best beach in Europe. Like most beaches in Serifos, Psili Ammos is an unorganized beach.

Kalo Ambeli beach is a small and isolated cove, surrounded by rocks. Access is relatively difficult, as you need to walk 20 minutes on the path to the beach. Of course, this whole “adventure” will reward you even more. You won’t find tamarind trees and shops on the beach, so it’s good to have provisions for anything you need.

  • Wandering in the Country
