Serifos

Where to stay: Coralli Camping 
This is a top-notch campsite right on the top-notch beach of Livadakia. Plenty of shade is provided by tamarisk trees and the atmosphere around the pool and other facilities is suitably laid-back.

Where to eat: Stou Stratou 
The “cafe on the street” is on the central square in the island’s main town of Chora (the capital towns of the islands are often called this: the word basically just means “main town”). It is a kafenion rather than a proper taverna – where the old men of the village used to go to discuss the world over Greek coffee. You can eat however, and on top of good breakfasts, and a famed chocolate cake, it is a good place to try a pikalia, a mixed plate that can be based round meat, fish or vegetarian treats. There is also no need to bring any reading matter as the extraordinary menu contains extracts of prose and poetry in several languages.

Don’t miss
Away from the beaches, Chora itself is a relatively unspoilt version of a Cycladic settlement and well worth exploring. From here various hiking trails can be followed across the small island.
