Best Beaches in Serifos — Real-Time Wind Conditions

Swimming in Serifos

Serifos is a rugged, mining-heritage island with a surprising number of excellent beaches for its size. The south coast, facing away from the Meltemi, offers reliable swimming conditions, while the north coast provides more dramatic scenery and surf.

The island's compact size means you're never far from a beach, and the varied coastline ensures you can find shelter regardless of wind direction. The main beaches have good facilities, while hidden coves reward those willing to explore on foot.

Swimming season runs from June to September. Serifos has a loyal following among Greeks who appreciate its unpretentious character and genuinely excellent beaches — it's one of the Cyclades' best-kept swimming secrets.
