Getting from Agios Efstratios to Serifos

If you are heading to Serifos from Agios Efstratios you are making your way from a small island in the northern Aegean to an island in the western Cyclades, on the opposite side of the Aegean. It has a Chora that climbs a steep hill above the port in a way that looks almost impossibly dramatic from the water.
