6 Panagia - Sikamia. An earth road from Panagia leads to the northern coast of the island, to one of the most beautiful beaches of Serifos, Sikamia. 7 Panagia - Pyrgos - Galani - Taxiarches Monastery - Kentarchos. An asphalt road leads from Panagia to the picturesque settlements of Pyrgos, Galani and Kentarchos in the northeast. After Galani you will see the imposing Taxiarches Monastery, which from a distance looks like a castle. The monastery was built in 1572 and has a high wall and arrow slits to protect it against pirate attacks. In its Catholic church, admire the marble and wooden carved, gold plated screen, the famous icons of Emmanouil Skordilis and the wooden, carved throne. In the centre of the church floor there is a marble plaque with a two-headed eagle on it dating back to 1659. The Taxiarches Monastery is the most important monument of the island. You can visit it, and pilgrims can stay in renovated cells. Feasts and flavours The inhabitants of Serifos - currently over 1,200 - are polite and warm hearted, and preserve the Cycladic tradition of hospitality and festivities. The backbone of the religious and social life of the island is made up local festivals, where the hosting celebrators will willingly serve you tasty treats on handmade, ceramic plates accompanied by the island music of local instruments. Try boiled kid meat with pasta, mashed fava beans - and the famous wine of Serifos. Some of the celebrations of Serifos include those of Agia Triada, on the day of the Holy Spirit in Mavra Voladia, Christos Sotiras on 6 August 6th, in Pyrgos, Panagia in Ramos and Skopous on 15 August, Taxiarches on 8 November in Monastiri. In Serifos you will find the Cyclops throne. Serifos is renowned for its wonderful pork products (louza, siglina, sausages) and dairy products (myzithra of charani, sour myzithra, piperati), along with capers and sundried tomatoes which are essential in its cooked foods and salads. The favourite dishes on the island are revithada, marathotiganites, and sundried octopus. Also search out the local thyme honey, it is exceptional! Sea and action The beaches of Serifos, besides the ideal swimming opportunities they offer, are also favourite places for surfers. The nearby islets of Serifopoula, Vous and Mikronisi, which have been declared areas of natural beauty and are ideal for fishing, are also suitable for sea trips. The islet of Piperi to the north of Serifos is ideal for climbing fans. 130
S e r i f o s ONLY IN SERIFOS In Serifos you can see the Cyclops Throne - the locals will be delighted to tell you where to find it. Easter in Serifos is a unique island experience for visitors and is celebrated in a very special way. Also, an exciting festival is held on 14 November, the day of Agios Filippos, where the residents of the island slaughter pigs and open their new wine. Let's go to Sifnos... Only a stone's throw away!!! 131
