In Greek mythology, Serifos is where Danaë and her infant son Perseus washed ashore after her father Acrisius, in response to an oracle that his own grandson would kill him, set them adrift at sea in a wooden chest.

When Perseus returned to Serifos with the head of the Gorgon Medusa, he turned Polydektes, the king of Serifos, and his retainers into stone as punishment for the king’s attempt to marry his mother by force.

Quite close to Piraeus (2.5 hours by High Speed and 4.5 by boat), the island of Perseus and the Cyclopes is an ideal destination for a pleasant get-away by the sea and under the sun.
