Remote Serifos is a hidden gem of the Cyclades known for having some of the most beautiful beaches in the Aegean and, in Greek mythology, as the place where the infamous Medusa lost her head. The island is dotted with white-washed buildings splashed with brilliantly colored doorways and domes. Join the local guides as we explore an ancient fortress and a trio of windmills crowning a hill with panoramic views of the Aegean Sea. Choose to sit on the stone throne at the entrance to the supposed cave of Cyclops, join the undersea team on a dive or snorkel in the island's crystalline waters, or stop at a traditional kafeneio-or cafe-to sample local culinary specialties, like the almond amigdalota cookies or revithada (baked chickpeas).
