We went to Serifos in the end of June/beginning of July. As there is an ongoing debate on whether it is a suitable island for naturism, I am happy to give a favorable report about opportunities for nudism there. I must say that we heard from locals that the island gets very crowded in August, which might affect the situation of nudist beaches (as described by a contributor in 2016).

We found Liá to be the best nudist beach of Serifos. Beautiful, with crystal clear waters, relaxed atmosphere, never crowded, yet easy to access. It has a well established identity as a place for naturism. In my 4 times in Liá, it was 100% nudist twice and in the 2 other times there was a clear majority of nudists (two different groups of young Greek textiles showed up in those occasions, but behaved respectfully). If you manage to arrive early, you can stay at the small bay after the rocks (left side) and benefit from a generous shade. There is a hotel functioning right in front of the beach (Nature Eco Living Resort) but this doesn't seem to affect the naturist aspect of the beach - as far as we could see, some of the naturists were actually guests of the hotel.

In our first visit to Maliadiko, there was a group of four nudist friends and a topless woman, which made us believe that this was also a established place for naturism in Serifos. However, we found a completely different situation in our second visit: the beach was now 100% textile (including 2 nudists from the previous day!) and if this was not enough, a yacht with a very large family moored right there. Me and my partner had to carry the flame of naturism by ourselves and we must admit nobody bothered us. So it looks like nudism in Maliadiko, as in many other beaches in Greece, is a question of who sets the agenda first. It's a nice beach with a lot of shade provided by trees, that is definitely worth a visit.

Karavi is a very beautiful and quiet small beach. There were two topless women when we went there. The problem we found is that this beach is not at all secluded: it lies in front of a group of houses, and we could see some of its residents at their verandas. We didn't feel therefore comfortable to get fully naked there, in spite of the many reports about being a regular nudist beach.

Vagia is also a quite nice, scenic beach but we didn't see good opportunities for nudism. The left area is too close to the organized part of the beach and it was already occupied by textiles during our brief visit.
