Serifos (Σέριφος)
Plenty of unspoiled sandy beaches, a picturesque hilltop chora, a fascinating history, and only two and a half hours from Athens on the high speed ferry.
Serifos is now our favourite Greek island, closely followed by Tilos and Alonissos. It is part of the Western Cyclades chain of islands and is very much off the main tourist trail because it requires an overnight stay in Athens to get there. It is very popular with Greeks in late July and August but relatively uncrowded the rest of the year and great for walking in June or September.
