Modest and laid-back, Serifos is an ideal destination for visitors wishing to take a breath away from their hectic lives, offering 72+ beautiful beaches to choose from and being relatively free of excessive tourism.

For those visitors wishing to be immersed in Greek island life, Serifos has quaint little villages to explore, with their charming white-washed houses, narrow island lanes and relaxed atmosphere. Travelers can go on hikes around the island, taking in the beauty of the uncluttered landscape or they can unwind on one of the island’s 72 beaches. If they’re feeling more adventurous, they can dive into cobalt blue waters and visit a Spanish shipwreck.

There are mines to visit, the island’s first winery, where you can taste delectable local wines, and, for the more creative, Kerameio ceramic studio, where visitors older and younger can have fun discovering the joys of pottery making. With its tranquil ambiance, travelers will enjoy the island’s local delicacies, such as marathotiganites (fennel fritters), xinomizithra (a local cheese), louza (pork sausage) and pastaki Serifou (a chocolate pudding).

Pelion: heavenly beaches, dense forests, traditional villages, outdoor sports, ski slopes in winter; Pelion is a place for all seasons !

To one side, the Pagasitikos Gulf and, to the other, the Aegean. In between, a magical mountain to discover by the name of Pelion!

Water gurgles in the fountains. Sunbeams stream through the leaves of the plane trees, apple trees, oaks, fir, chestnut, beeches, gardenias, hydrangeas, camelias and colourful wild flowers. Nature flourishes in the fertile soil of Thessaly. In the autumn, a surreal palette of orange and red unfolds before you. Pathways, old churches, beaches with turquoise water, all add to this multi-coloured assemblage. Up high, Pelion traditional villages – perched along the dense green mountainsides or boarding the seaside – teeter on the edge of mountain and water.

Welcome to magnificent Pelion !

Portaria is one of the most ”cosmopolitan” villages. Situated at the foot of the mountain, it is the first village one gets to from Volos. Its popularity as a travel destination and its accompanying cosmopolitanism spring from its vicinity both to a skiing resort and also to the sea. Check out beautiful ARTistic House in Katichori, 2km from Portaria.

Papa Nero/Agios Ioannis is one of the most famous beaches in Pelion, offering a choice of sand or white pebbles to go with the turquoise water. Check out elegant Villa Azalea, Villa Kamelia & Villa Manolia, just a 2 min walk right over Papa Nero beach.

The real meaning of life unfolds in a few turns in the famous poem of the Egyptiot Greek poet C.P. Cavafy. A masterpiece of world literature transformed into a comic strip.

Australian cartoonist Gavin Aug Than transforms, with his magic pencils, the poem Ithaka of renowed Greek poet C.P. Cavafy in a vivid, illustrated story. The myth of Odysseus’ adventures serves as the basis for the most famous “travel” poem of C.P. Cavafy, a masterpiece of world literature, unfolding in a few turns the real meaning of life. C.P. Cavafy speaking about Ithaka, said: “The meaning of this poem is simple and clear. Man in his life seeks a purpose “Ithaka”, acquires experience, knowledge and sometimes goods superior to his own purpose. After time, when he reaches the end of his efforts, he finds Ithaka poor, below his expectations. However, Ithaka did not fool him.”

‘Fun’, ‘Entertainment’ and ‘Recreation’. These three words were the top ones used by travelers in the Netherlands to describe Greece, but our country, with such varied landscapes, rich ancient history and colorful traditions, long sandy beaches, sapphire waters, awe-inspiring mountains, mouth-watering food, buzzing nightlife and ever-shining sun, cannot be limited to only three words, so, it is no wonder that Greece is also Insider’s No. 1 Country To Visit In 2020: https://youtu.be/Nf9Gtmxpe0k
