Serifos

Serifos has dodged the package vacation crowd, but it’s a firm favorite on the island-hopping circuits of the Aegean. Why? Well…just look at it! The main town is a jaw-dropping cascade of square-cut Greek cottages that are draped on a precipitous ridge of stone. Below that, the port town of Livadi bobs with paint-peeling fishing boats. And then there is the coastline, where rock-rimmed mountains occasionally give way to small inlets of azure Mediterranean water. They’re all supremely hidden though, so you might just need a hardy quad bike to reach them. Agios Sostis and pebbly Ganema are surely two of the best!
