Megalo Livadi

The settlement of Megalo Livadi was built to accommodate the needs of the mining works when the mining company “Serifos-Spiliazeza”, which operated there in 1880. To the left and right of the bay were two ramps where ores were loaded—one of them still standing there today. The imposing neoclassical Ziller School building, currently under restoration, housed the company’s offices and served as the residence for the mine’s director. This narrow beach, with calm, shallow waters, is favored by families—primarily because of the small tavernas Kyklopas and Marditsa there, which have tables by the water and are shaded by tamarisks.
