The “hidden paradise” of the Aegean

Perched on the western edge of the Cyclades island complex, Serifos is just a two-hour speedboat ride away from the port of Piraeus. With her imposing main town of Chora, built at 200 metres above sea level, dozens of picturesque villages, wonderful beaches and a long history, the so-called “Iron Lady” of the Aegean is intriguing and inviting at the same time.

Here you will experience Greek summer at its best: the beautiful and unforgettable shades of white and blue, the people friendly and hospitable, the sea clear and precious as a sapphire. Serifos is full of sights and stories – to discover them, just visit a village, a beach or one of the many remnants of its times past, scattered all over the island.

With a soil rich in metal reserves, mostly iron ore, Serifos developed as an outstanding mining community, one of the very few in the Mediterranean back in the 19th century. Operating through a former complex of miners’ houses, COCO-MAT Eco Residences Serifos hotel honors this celebrated period in the island’s history, offering a truly unique choice for your accommodation in Serifos.

Serifos can be reached by boat by the port of Piraeus. During the summer period, there are itineraries operated daily both with regular ferries and speedboat carriers. It takes 5 hours to reach the island with the regular ferry and half that time with the speedboat.

During the rest of the year, there are routes available every other day with the regular ferry and more sparse speedoboat itineraries. The closest airports to Serifos island are those on the islands of Milos and Paros.
