Tips for the Syros–Serifos Ferry

• Overhead luggage racks on Greek ferries fill quickly; board early and stow your main bag first, then explore the vessel.
• Greek coffee on ferries is reliably good – a frappe or freddo espresso on the outside deck is one of the pleasures of Aegean travel.
• Wheelchair ramps are available at most larger ports, but smaller island ports may require assistance from crew – request help when booking.
• In Serifos, the hilltop Chora perched dramatically above the port is one of the most striking capital towns in the Cyclades, with chapels, churches, and windmills scattered through its whitewashed lanes. The island’s beaches are never overcrowded, and the walking trails connecting them reward those who prefer to explore on foot.
