SERIFOS ΣΕΡΙΦΟΣ
POP 1480
Serifos has a raw, rugged beauty with steep mountains plunging to broad ultramarine
bays. Relatively deserted outside of the quaint hilltop capital of Hora or the dusty, Wild
West-feeling port of Livadi down below, the island feels like it's gone beautifully feral.
All that you find are the occasional remnants of past mining enterprises (rusting tracks,
cranes), the whoosh of the wind (which can be fierce), and the flitting of butterflies. Rent
wheels to make the most of it.
In Greek mythology, Serifos is where Perseus grew up and where the Cyclops were
said to live. Now, there is some fine walking on Serifos: Anavasi's map
