Notes: Serifos is an island renowned for its excellent food and relaxed atmosphere. It is a popular summer resort amongst the Greeks, but has not been too commercialized since the mass tourism hasn't reached this little pearl just yet. The locals have lived off iron and copper mining since ancient years, together with fishing and some farming, mainly figs and olives. They are very friendly, and if you are lucky, you might be able to see some of their traditional celebrations of marriage, saint days and other happy occasions. When our children were young, they spent many summers here away from TV and video games but occupying themselves reading, playing games and actually spending time with each other. As teenagers they discovered the (very limited) nightlife. This is not the island for you if you are looking for neon lights and crowded shopping streets. Our house is located at the top of the village, a three mile drive up from the port. There are buses that make the run very frequently.

Further details for this holiday house rental in Serifos, Greece

Great unspoiled beaches — some with tavernas: Serifos Beaches: Some of the finest beaches in the Cyclades — and even Europe are located on Serifos Island. And even during August , one can discover a private spot in which to swim and sunbathe. Its coast offers over 70 long stretches of sand and small quaint coves that are sheltered from the Aegean Sea winds. All Serifos Beaches are known for their crystal clear waters, while some have trees that provide shade for swimmers and sunbathers.

serifos lore: Serifos Mythology: Serifos is the location where the mythological tale of Medusa took place. Akrisios, the King of Argos, was told by an oracle that his grandson would be responsible for his downfall, so he locked his daughter Danae in the palace. In spite of this precaution, Zeus, who was in love with Danae, managed to leave her with child by appearing in the form of golden rain. Once Danae gave birth to her son Perseas, Akrisios put both of them into a box and threw it into the sea. The box washed up on the shores of Serifos and was found by King Polydektis, who also fell in love with Danae. Wanting to get rid of Perseas, Polydektis sent him to kill Medusa, the mythological creature who turned people into stone by looking at them. With the help of the god, Perseas killed the monster. Athena gave him a shield with which he could reflect Medusa's gaze and successfully attack her. Returning with the head of Medusa, Perseas turned Polydektis into stone.
