Serifos was inhabited by the Mycenaeans, and the Archaeological Museum stands witness to this civilization with its exhibits from that era. There are some relics from the Mycenaean era which are rare, as most have been stolen around the country over the centuries.
Local traditions and customs can be understood at this museum, hosted in a delightful classical building. Get a feel of the island’s history through its household utensils, precious minerals and many curious objects. Behind the museum likes an open theatre that hosts cultural events.
Head to the Kyklopas (Cyclops) Cave near the monastery of Evaggelistria, full of stalagmites and stalactites. Discovered in 1893, the cave boasted a collection of ancient artefacts such as utensils and vessels, suggesting that it was a place of ritual or worship in antiquity. There’s even an altar with evidence of fire and bones, now all covered by material from the stalagmites. The inner chamber features a small lake.
Only 15 kilometres south-west of the main town lies the ruins of the Old Woman’s Castle, with towers from the Hellenistic period and a 19th century iron loading bridge.
