Vagia Beach, located near the historic mining area of Megalo Livadi, offers a serene counterpoint to Serifos's more popular beaches. This sandy expanse is characterized by its soft, inviting grains and a gentle slope into the Aegean, creating calm, clear waters perfect for a leisurely swim. What truly sets Vagia apart is its pervasive sense of quietude, even during peak season, making it an ideal spot for genuine relaxation.
