Long, sandy beaches, a picturesque Old Town and beautiful mountainside – Rethymno is unashamedly Greek. Endless resorts exist around Greece, though there aren’t many as alluring as Rethymno; breathtaking ancient architecture graces the centre and crystal blue waters next to golden sands remind you that you’re on an island. The Old Town is a particular highlight - its charm lying in its relative anonymity; the religious buildings and quaint streets stay off the beaten track and have maintained their simplistic values amid the barrage of modern tourism. The wealth of historical culture suggests that Rethymno is a city designed purely to appeal to history lovers, which was once the case, but the introduction of the university has fuelled life into the city in the form of myriad of vibrant bars, vigorous clubs and enchanting restaurants. After indulging in a long night along the strip of bars and clubs, the luxurious beaches are ideal for basking in the sun and exploring the azure blue waters. Beach clubs line the shoreline, offering food and drink perfect for a refreshing treat.
The bus service in operation is typically very reliable and comfortable, with aircon running through the summer months. Rental car companies are also in high demand, and for quick and convenient transport, taxis are readily available throughout the city.
The smallest island belonging to the Cyclades often has the largest appeal; steep mountainside and verdant hillside encompass the charming streets and simplistic character – creating an experience that is authentically Greek. The hotels and apartments are basic and the infrastructure is typical of the environment, but you don’t come to Serifos for the architecture; the golden sand beaches next to deep blue waters are among the most beautiful in Greece. Psili Ammos Beach is perhaps the most beautiful, decorated in tropical foliage and hosting water that is clear and safe to dive, many tourists choose this as their haven for the holiday. The beaches are the obvious highlight of the island, drawing in numerous visitors each summer, but there is much more to Serifos than the alluring shoreline. The harbour is an idyllic spot of picturesque scenery and quaint cafes, perfect for whiling away a few hours amid stunning surrounding. The cuisine at the restaurants gracing the harbour is quintessentially Greek, serving seafood fresh from the waters.
The island is very small and compact, so the best option is to explore Serifos by foot.
