Hiking
Serifos has a wide trail network that links settlements and beaches. If the day is too hot, choose a beach as your destination so that at the end of your hike you can dip in the sea, or go hiking in the afternoon. A favourite trail is the one that leads from Livadi to Hora. It used to be the only connection between the two villages and the locals would cover the distance with the many steps, many times a day.
The distance is about 2.6km and, depending on your fitness, it will take between 45-60min to walk it, while if you go from Hora to Livadi, it might be easier, as it is downhill. From Hora you can also go to the island’s highest peak, Troulos, at 587m altitude.
Scuba diving
You can explore the amazing sea bottom of Serifos with the guidance of “Serifos Scuba Divers” (Livadi, tel.: 0030 6932 570552) that has been open for many years.
It’s ideal for both beginners and more advanced divers, with the trainers paying great attention to safety, and being very thorough with their guidance. Apart from fish, sponges and reefs, you can see shipwrecks near Serifos.

Mines
The island’s soil, especially in the southwest part is the reason for the long mining history of Serifos. Between 1860 and 1960, many investors and hundreds of workers arrived to the island due to the large iron deposits between Koutala and Megalo Livadi. In fact, one of the first strikes in Greece took place here, in 1916.
Driving towards Megalo Livadi, you’ll come across scattered remains of this significant part of the island’s history, ranging from railway parts to wagons and loading docks. In Megalo Livadi, there’s a monument in honour of the dead workers from the 1916 strike.
