Serifos preserves a typical Cycladic colour. Its white washed picturesque houses, built in the Cycladic style, along with its narrow alleyways, windmills, neoclassical mansions and charming chapels, compose a lovely picture. The locals are faithful to traditional values and keep their manners and customs alive. Their festivals are characterised by their uniting character and their long duration. They throw big feasts to the sounds of violins and clarinet, and they dance fast Cycladian dances.
