Serifos Chora
Nestled in the western Cyclades, Serifos offers a quieter, more authentic Greek island experience than its famous counterparts like Mykonos and Santorini. You can only get there by boat from either neighboring islands or direct from Athens. This helps keep it a more mellow destination than islands with an airport.
This quieter pace is exactly what my family and I wanted for the week we just spent there. We stayed at a low-key hotel right on the beach where we could sleep hearing the sound of the waves lapping on the beach. We would wake up, walk 20 meters to the cafe to get a coffee, and then go right onto the sand to hang out under a line of trees planted right next to crystal clear water. Then, later we’d go up to the Chora high above the sea for stunning evening views and lovely food.
I’d say wish you were here, but please only a few of you at a time. We gotta keep the vibe right. 🤣
