Livadakia is one of the most popular sandy beaches on Serifos, situated on the south-western side of the island below Chora, the beautiful capital. This area has many beaches as well, like Livadi, and Avlomonas beach, but usually Livadakia is the most crowded.
Below the area of Rammos, there is a small beach called Karavi, the beach has no shade and is sandy with pebbles. Karavi means ship in the Greek language and the beach has taken its name from the shipwrecks which lie under its ground.
After the area of Rammos, we meet a concrete road. If we turn left we will be heading towards the Kalo Ampeli beach (The good vineyard beach).
Isolated, small, sandy beach in the south side of the island. The beach is unorganized, so make sure you have that you may need.
Lia is one of the very well reputed beaches on Serifos on the north-eastern shore at 5 km east of the harbour of Livadi and is surrounded by great scenery. The road leading to Lia beach begins at the end of the harbour of Livadi, so it is not difficult to find.
If we continue after the right turn for Lia beach, we will come to the hill from where Agios Sostis double beach starts to become visable. The one beach looks to the south whereas the second beach faces the north.
Psili Ammos is one of the most popular beaches on Serifos located on the east coast, at about 8 km north from the port of Livadi. The available options for reaching Psili Ammos are on foot, which takes around an hour from Livadi; or by moped, which rentals are available at the port as well.
