Serifos

Serifos sits in the western Cyclades, between Kythnos to the north and Sifnos to the south, 75 nautical miles southeast of Athens — a 75-square-kilometre island with about 1,400 year-round residents, considered the quietest of the western Cyclades chain. The island was an industrial iron-mining centre from 1869 to 1963 when the Megalo Livadi mines on the southwest coast were Greece's largest iron exporter; the abandoned ore-loading station with rusting industrial-era pier survives on the south coast as a historical site. The main harbour Livadi on the south coast is the ferry port and yacht moorings — a small horseshoe bay with a sandy beach and taverna village. The capital Chora sits 4 kilometres inland on a steep conical hilltop 220 metres above sea level, with stepped lanes and a 15th-century Venetian fortress at the top. Serifos is 30 minutes from Sifnos by sail. Season runs May through October.
