Opening hours View Hours
Livadi, GR Get Directions

The Archaeological Collection of Seriphos is currently housed in the former Municipal Guesthouse “Perseus”, in Livadi, Seriphos, right next to the coast.

This plain building is the work of architect Philippos Vokos and a typical example of 1960s modernist architecture and the Xenia hotels. It’s the only one of its kind on the island and has been given a new leash on life by accommodating finds from various parts of Seriphos, dating from the Classical, Hellenistic and Roman periods.

Among them are marble sculptures, architectural members and relief funerary stelae from the Castle in Chora, which is identified with the ancient town of Seriphos, as well as ceramic amphorae from the excavations in the recently restored Aspropyrgos in Mavra Voladia.

Aspropyrgos, near Megalo Chorio (also known as Mesa Chorio), is a circular Hellenistic tower built of white marble. It has been excavated, restored, and is now open to visitors as an archaeological site.
