Platis Gialos (Serifos)
37° 12.2′ N · 24° 30.8′ E
A north-coast bay of three tamarisk-lined sand beaches (Platis Gialos, Mesiano and Vorino). It is the best northerly shelter on that side of the island, about 40 minutes' walk from the Taxiarches monastery.

Rocks line both sides of the north pier, but a line can be taken to its end. Rocky ledges lie near the beach. mySea: 3-6 m sand and weed, good holding. The summer taverna is at Mesiano (e-serifos); Nikoulias is mapped on OpenStreetMap. The Agioi Apostoloi feast is held here on June 28-29 (municipal calendar).
