TOP OF CHAPTER
Around Serifos
About 1.5km north of Livadi pretty, little
Psili Ammos Beach
offers the best swimming
close to Livadi, and has two excellent tavernas.
A
footpath
from Hora heads north for about 4km to the village of
Kendarhos
(also
known as Kallitsos), from where you can continue by a very winding road for another
3km to the 17th-century fortified
Moni Taxiarhon
, which has impressive 18th-century
frescoes. Take food and water, as there are no facilities in Kendarhos.
Platys Gialos Beach
in the north has a good summer-only taverna.
Sykamia
is one of the best beaches on the island, with an incredible approach along a
steep, windy road through terrraced hills and dovecotes. The beach itself is grey-brown
sand full of stones.
Bitos
(mains €6-9; lunch & dinner summer only)
, one of the only signs
of development, serves good food. To reach Sykamia you will pass through the quaint
village of
Panagia
.
Megalo Livadi
, on the southwest coast, is a fun visit for its sparkling bay, neoclassical
buildings (remnants of the mining era) and excellent seafront
Kyklopas
