Why Serifos
Information On SerifosSerifos belongs to Cyclades and it has an almost round laced shape resulting in a very long coastline. Serifos is a small island and one of the closest ones to Piraeus. Serifos is a quiet island, with the exception of Livadi, where the heart of the night-life beats and the various bars / night clubs are found. Most of these places are open almost all night long. Serifos is also called the island of the Cyclopses, as mythology connects it with the Cyclopses and the hero Perseus. In fact there is a cape called Cyclops cape at the south of the island, where the Cyclops Throne and the Cyclops cave are situated. Serifos is famous for the quality of its minerals and the mines it once had, which were a source of growth and wealth for the people of Serifos. The leftovers of that era are still visible today: rusted docking stairs, mining facilities, etc If you happen to be on Serifos on August 6th you should not miss the festivity of the Women Society which is held in Kato Chora, at Evagelistria Square. It is there where you will get the chance to know the traditional dishes and desserts of the island that the women of Serifos will have prepared for you.
