In today's episode we will discover the best #beaches in Serifos and the rare beauty of the island!
We are located in the western Cyclades. Serifos was the #island of #Danae and #Perseus, a legendary hero of the ancient Greek world.
When you stand high on a rock and get lost in the endless view of the Aegean Sea, you have a unique feeling of fullness. #Greek blue, bright light everywhere, calmness and simplicity. Which gives you the power to become the hero of your own myths!
We start with the beach of Agios Sostis. It is located 3 km east of Livadi, which is the port of the island. When you see the beach for the first time you will be excited, while a swim in its crystal clear waters will make you love it.
You can get here by car, motorbike or for the more adventurous on foot.
The picturesque chapel of #Agios#Sostis stands out. Here you will take endless photos. A big festival takes place here on September 6th and gathers the whole island! The golden sand and the sparkling clear blue waters give a tropical sense to this beach. The tamarisk trees offer natural shade, while the pier below the #church is ideal for diving and playing!
On the opposite slope there is nCaved, a sample of bold architecture that combines bioclimatic technologies, automation and modern amenities.
Two kilometers north lies Psili Ammos, another heavenly beach in the Cyclades!
Desert lilies with all-white flowers, natural shade from clusters of trees, impressive rocks, shallow waters ideal for kids and then there is an impressive deep blue clear sea-bottom!
In 2003, this beach, adored by thousands of visitors, was voted as the best in Europe! A fact that you can confirm with your own eyes!
#Paradise has a name! It is located in Greece and this summer will offer you everything you need to make it truly unforgettable!
For beauty, Serifos is up there with the Cyclades’ more famous islands – but it surpasses them for easygoing charm, which is why Athenians come here. That and the stylish places to stay
How do you choose which Greek island to visit? There are thousands, and of course the most famous cannot be the best. For unspoilt beauty, you need a tip-off, and for one that has a little more life, you follow those in the know: the Athenians, and those smart hotel groups who seek out rarefied and spectacular destinations to woo their clientele. That the small and supremely chilled boutique hotel Coco-Mat has chosen Serifos in the western Cyclades is an indicator that this island has something special going on. The eponymous Greek interiors brand behind it makes indulgent but sustainable bedding and furnishings in Xanthi, north-east Greece, from wool, wood and seaweed, and its foray into hotels has a characteristically upmarket but rustic ethos. Not without influence is the influx of arty Athenians who have been short-breaking on Serifos, buying simple village homes and rural villas to create stylish holiday hideaways and bringing this craggy barren outpost a bit of edge.
Where the cognoscenti trickle, the businesses that cater to them – the coffee shops, the cocktail lounges, shops selling expensive kaftans rather than retsina – will spring up. You can find a smattering here, but what makes Serifos irresistible, even to those who hate that kind of thing, is that it is incredibly low-key, confined really to the main town, Chora, whereas the rest of the island is as wild and raw as any tiny speck on the map you could hope to unearth.
The best-known Cyclades – Mykonos and Santorini, 50 and 75 miles away – are drowning in chichi nightlife, luxury hotels and fine dining, and the tourist numbers to match. But charming, sleepy Serifos, with its unusually dramatic peaked landscape, outshines both, while its lack of an airport deters the crowds. Livadi is the Greece of 80s brochure tourism, a cheerful, taverna-lined suntrap for lollies and beach balls, grocery stores and yachties (of the Sunsail, not oligarch variety). For atmosphere Chora town, which tumbles from a southern hilltop like a lava flow of whitewash, is the place. Hand-painted arrows led us to the attractive square, paved in marble and packed with turquoise tables and chairs.

Budapest, your next favorite magical destination!
Since emerging from behind the Iron Curtain, Budapest has become one of Europe's best-loved short-break destinations. And with good reason. The city has been called the 'Paris of the East', and romance is all around. Through the middle runs the Danube, lights from illuminated bridges dancing at its surface. The hills of Buda rear from the western bank, home to the cobbled medieval quarter with its grand palace and multi-coloured Matthias Church. Across the river sits the magnificent domed Parliament building, and around it the elegant 19th-century mansions that today contain the shops, #bars and #cafés that give Pest its buzz.
You can browse a colourful market for wooden crafts in the morning, soak in a thermal bath after lunch and head for the crumbling courtyard of an atmospheric 'ruin pub' after dark. Every type of cuisine is represented in the restaurants, there’s #accommodation to suit any pocket, and the sights are rarely more than a short walk away.
Cross the road to join Váci utca, the pedestrianised artery that runs through the heart of the Belváros (Downtown), lined with boutiques – but beware the over-priced gift shops. It's a vibrant street of buskers, history and the occasional intriguing statue (a favourite is the 'Fisher Girl' in Kristóf tér). After a kilometre, you'll emerge into the grand Vörösmarty tér, where it would be a crime not to stop for a cake at Gerbeaud, the most famous café in Hungary.
Head out of the square's top right corner towards #Erzsébet tér, where you could take a spin on the Budapest Eye with its views across the rooftops. It's a short hop from here to the domed St Stephen's Basilica, which also offers splendid views from its gallery – and a casket containing the mummified right hand of St Stephen.
