Path 9: Churches of Saint Catherine - Saint John - Panagia - Saint Panteleimon

Serifos is ideal for hikes and trails. Eleven paths have been mapped on the island; 1, 1A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10 are sufficiently marked, and 7, 8 and 9 partially signposted. About 3.2Km long, Path 9 is the least known of the eleven trails. It starts a few meters east of the church of Saint Catherine (Agia Aikaterini), which is located about 1,000m northwest of the substation of the public power corporation (DEI) in Livadi. The trail ascends for about 1,000m toward the church of Saint John the Theologian (Agios Ioannis o Theologos) and continues for another 750 meters toward the little church of the Virgin Mary (Panagia). Then it goes on for another 300 meters to Pente Pigadia (which means "five wells"). At this point, it turns into a narrow dirt road and after 1,200 or 1,300 meters ends at the rough dirt road that leads to the church of Saint (Agios) Panteleimon (in 350 meters), a point with a very beautiful view of the bay of Livadi. Estimated walking time: 75 to 85 minutes.
