In Prehistoric Times, Cretans arrived on the island and then the Phoenicians and Mycenae followed. The 7th and 6th century BC Serifos was colonized by the Ionians, who managed to make the island the center of commercial and political development by using and exporting minerals .Then, the island was conquered by the Romans and flourished during the Venetian period again because of mining, which was the main activity on the island along with fishing, after the liberation in 1830. Today, tourism and fishing play an important role in the development of the place.
