Serifos facts

  • General
  • Serifos Port
  • Serifos Ferries - Updated Jan 2018

Serifos is located in the western Cyclades, has an area of 75.207 km2 and 1.414 inhabitants in 2001. This is the birthplace of Perseus who beheaded the legendary Medusa. Serifos is mentioned in the Odyssey as it is the home of the Cyclops and near the beach of Ganema one can still see remains of Cyclopean walls. The island "participated" in Alexander the Great's expedition in Asia as all swords were forged with iron that was mined from the area of Avessalos. Capital of the island is Chora, which clings above the port of Livadi and is built below the remains of a 15th century Venetian castle. Serifos is a paradise for those who enjoy walking for it is a rocky island and many places are accessible only by foot.
Worth visiting are Galani with its 10th century church, Kedarchos with the 17th century monastery and the beaches of Sykamia and Megalo Livadi. Most accommodation and night life is in Livadi.

Interesting information about Serifos can be found through the Greek Travel Pages (GTP), the munucipality of Serifos site and Wikipedia.

The island has one port:

  • Livadi, situated on the southeastern part of the island
    (coordinates: 37°08'29.65" N - 24°31'07.93" E)

There are busses and taxis (Tel. 22810 51435 - 51245) connecting the port with the Capital Chora and most major settlements.

Ferry types operating routes to Serifos

Conventional car ferries

These vessels can be divided into two categories: the old ones and the modern ones.

The main differences between them are

  • their cruising speed
  • the quality of accommodation and services provided and
  • the prices

They are usually very big vessels, which also carry vehicles. Their advantages compared to the High Speed vessels, like the catamarans, are that they are more seaworthy, offer more "relaxed" accommodation and cabins and the passengers have the possibility to sit outside and enjoy their cruise around the Greek islands.

Catamarans & Hydrofoils

These vessels are smaller and much faster than conventional ones. Only a few of them can carry vehicles. Their main advantage is that they go twice as fast.
Passengers are usually not allowed to sit outside even though there is some space on some of them. The accommodation inside is a little like a very wide airplane. The better the class, the wider the seat. There are no cabins.
Smoking is not allowed in any inside area of any ship.
