Livadi is the main port full of waterfront traditional shops, cafes and bars. You can spend the whole day watching the fishing boats swinging, a perfect way to feel how time stops here.The best time to visit Chora, a traditional Cycladic town, is in the evening.

View of Serifos island

Make yourself comfortable in one of the local taverns and try the tasty louza (pronounced looza) a dry cured ham prepared from the choicest pork cut, the tenderloin. As a dessert, ask for pasteli the famous Greek honey-sesame bars. The view from the Venetian castle and the chapel of Agios Konstantinos is literally a top must-see! The castle-like Monastery of Taxiarches hosts many historical items and murals. In the old times it protected the island from pirates. Nowadays, it is one of the best spots on the island to watch an idyllic sunset. The unique scenery of semi-destroyed bridges, wagons and iron rails in Mega Livadi bay could be described as an outdoor mining museum and the hike up to the Throne of Cyclops is a bit tiring but well worth it.
