Serifos

Livadi

Livadi is a beautiful port town. The beach in town is not particularly impressive but if you walk for only a few minutes you reach the most popular beach Livadhaki which is one of the most beautiful beaches on Serifos. Right next to it is Coralli Camping which is considered one of the best camp sites in the whole of the Cyclades. In Livadi itself you will find a number of midrange accommodations. It's not easy though to find a cheap room in town. The seaport is a popular marina.

The local nightlife is rather impressive with a number of discos, bars and clubs. Most popular with the young crowd is the "Captain Hook". God knows who came up with that name. Beside the more noisy venues you get the usual restaurants and taverns.

Livadi is not exactly a cheap place to stay. Keep it in mind. Amenities include ATM, car and bike rental and taxis. There is no bank in town though.

Chora of Serifos

The local capital is only 2 kilometres inland from Livadi. Not unusual for the Cyclades it is situated up in the mountains. Back in the old days that was the best protection against marauding pirates and other thugs.

Many consider Chora one of the most beautiful towns in the Cyclades. The almost Classical architecture, the whole setting of the town are most impressive.
 

There are two museums in town with one being a museum of local history and the other one an archaeological museum with focus on ancient Greece and Rome. Admittance is free in both museums.

There are very few rooms to rent in Chora but quite a few tavernas. A cheap place to stay is Stavros. It is a taverna right at the square (where the bus stop is) that also offers places to stay.
