Only the Best : Travelling in Style: Serifos and Sifnos

"Only the Best" became viable by star-rating and getting down to details describing the best sites, beaches, accomodations, food and entertainment.Serifos is not well known although it is beautiful and remains one of the few islands where one can enjoy ?away from it all? holidays. The landscapes are unspoiled and there is a wide choice of pristine beaches for enjoyable bathing. Hora is an agreeable place for strolling, with its fort evocative of old memory, the monastery of the Taxiarchon is very interesting, and there is an atmosphere of gentle melancholy about the abandoned villages, or the mines which were once famous. Serifos is ideal for solitary walks, gazing out to the blue over the crinkly coastline.There's more to discover in this secretive gem of the Cyclades. It's up to your urge to explore for you to find unknown nooks forgotten by the passing ages, shut away from the ravages of time behind deep-purple painted doors, graceful arches, terracing, traces of the efforts to achieve fertility, soaring belltowers, crumbling stone ruins whispering of sometimes bloody episodes, dovecotes with lacy artistry.Kyrtsis, Alexander is the author of 'Only the Best : Travelling in Style: Serifos and Sifnos', published 2000 under ISBN 9789603770251 and ISBN 9603770256.
