Paralia Seralia is a small, yet stunning beach located on the island of Sifnos. It is characterized by its rocky terrain and pebbled shore, offering a unique and somewhat primitive atmosphere. The beach is divided into two main areas: the rocky main area and a concrete platform situated to the side. This platform is a popular spot for diving, with a height of about half a meter above the water and a ladder for easy access. It also serves as a sunbathing area, although it is made of concrete.
The beach is surrounded by rugged cliffs, adding to its secluded and romantic feel. It is an ideal spot for swimming and sunbathing, although caution is advised when the sea is wavy due to strong currents. Despite its beauty, Paralia Seralia remains relatively uncrowded, even during the height of summer.
In terms of amenities, there are a few bars around the beach that are usually busy but not full. There are also a couple of restaurants open for lunch and evening dining, although they are known to be on the pricier side, especially when ordering seafood. Despite the lack of luxurious facilities, the beach's natural beauty and tranquility make it a beloved spot among visitors.
