Discover Serifos & Its Beautiful Beaches

Serifos is a beautiful and quiet island hidden amongst the Cyclades. It isn’t really hidden though, being on a main ferry line between Piraeus and Milos, yet it has not been discovered by the larger tourist market. It has stunning scenery, much of which is visible from the Chora, and a plethora of gorgeous sandy beaches. Some who visit do not venture out of the south of the island, as this is where most of the settlement and therefore the accommodation is. It is our hope, that by telling you the joys of the best beaches on Serifos including some smaller, more remote ones, it will also encourage you to firstly, go and visit the island and secondly explore it entirely. So, here we go with the best beaches on Serifos.

In total there are 60 beaches to explore on Serifos, the majority of them sandy and many with natural shade so you can explore the more remote beaches without need of an umbrella or sunlounger. We’ll start with a beach that is highly recommended, so much so that the Sunday Times named it as Europe’s Beach of the Year, and that beach is Psili Ammos. This gorgeous, secluded beach sits on the east of the island 5 miles from Chora. It is unorganized (meaning there are few facilities around and no sunloungers or umbrellas) but its not needed with trees standing amongst the golden sands providing shade from the hot sun. Its an excellent place to relax on an already quiet island.

​Another of the most popular beaches is Agios Sostis, just further south down the coast from Psili Ammos it sits in a secluded cove overlooked by a small Greek Orthodox. It is also unorganized and is easily accessed by a road. It also backs onto another beach so you’re surrounded by the gorgeous turquoise waters on both sands. If you’re looking for a beach near where you’re staying then look no further than Livadakia, Livadi and Ganema. All in the south of the island, Livadakia and Livadi sit next to the popular places of the same name. Livadi is a long stretch of soft, sandy beach where you can relax surrounded by beautiful views or sit in a nearby café watching the ferries come and go.

​Explore the north of Serifos and discover beautiful, secluded beaches away from the tourist spots of the south. Three of the best are Sikamia, Platis Gialos and Karavas. All of them are sandy, unorganized and very secluded giving you the feeling that you have the island all to yourself. Similar to many beaches on Serifos, there are trees near the beach that provide natural shade should you need some. You can reach these either by bus in the summer or for more freedom and regularity we recommend renting a car to explore.
