1. Psili Ammos Beach
This beach is excellent, with fine sand and many tamarisk trees for shade. Definitely one of the best on the island. It is also an unorganized beach without sunbeds, so it’s recommended for you to have the necessary things with you. Please take note that the access here is also a bit difficult.
2. Agios Sostis Beach
Another magnificent beach on Serifos that’s full of tamarisk trees that serve as shade. From the beach, you will see a small church which is very beautiful and if you are on the beach, do not miss the opportunity to visit it. The view from there is very wonderful!
3. Monastery Evaggelistrias
Above the large Livadi is the monastery of Evangelistrias or otherwise Panagia Akrotiriani. In this small monastery, admire the wonderful hagiographies. It is isolated and can be reached via an unpaved road. A short stop here is absolutely worth it.

8. Kalo Ambeli beach
One of the most beautiful beaches on the island with absolute tranquility, in an idyllic landscape that you will be very lucky if you’re there during sunset. Compared to other beaches, Kalo Ambeli Beach is less crowded so you’d have a great time relaxing here.
9. The Mines of Serifos
If you are in Serifos, do not forget to visit the old mines in the bay of Megalo Livadi. You will be transported to another atmosphere, allowing yourself to travel several decades back in time and take the place of miners. Search and read the shocking history of mines and labor mobilizations you will never regret it.
10. Agios Ioannis Beach
On the Livadi side and not far from Psili Ammos, it is similar to the latter but wider and even more shaded by tamarisks. It’s very silent here because it’s almost deserted, however, it has the defect of being stony and having large stones, making it uncomfortable and not suitable for long stays. But for a short time of relaxation, this is recommended.
