Tips for the Piraeus–Serifos Ferry
- Book as early as you can if you are travelling in July or August. Cabins and vehicle spaces on this route sell out weeks ahead of time — do not leave it to the last minute and find yourself stuck.
- Piraeus has both short-stay drop-off zones and paid long-stay car parks near the gates, but in peak season the closest ones fill up fast. Arrive well before your departure, especially if you are travelling with a vehicle.
- If you are island-hopping and not returning to the same base, pack everything you need from the outset. Once you have sailed, going back for something you forgot is not a straightforward option.
- Photography of ferries and port areas is generally fine for personal use, but some sections of Piraeus adjoin military zones. Use common sense and respect any signage you encounter.
- Once you arrive in Serifos, make time to climb up to the Chora. The hilltop village perches dramatically above the port, its whitewashed lanes lined with chapels, churches, and old windmills — one of the most striking Cycladic capitals you will find anywhere. The beaches here are uncrowded even in summer, and the walking trails that connect them make for a genuinely rewarding way to explore.
