When people think of the Cyclades, the mind immediately goes to the islands of Santorini, Mykonos, Paros and the long golden stretches of Naxos. Yet scattered among their winds and ancient rocks lie secret beaches, forgotten bays and small coves reachable only by those who truly love to explore and let themselves be guided by curiosity. These are corners of authentic Greece, where the sea takes on shades unseen in more famous locations, and where history, mythology and nature intertwine without filters.
Perfect for those seeking silence, beauty and authenticity!
Where it is located: northeastern coast of the island of Serifos.

Agios Sostis is a hidden little gem, a double bay separated by a thin strip of sand that seems to float on the sea.
