From Chora (χώρα) to Kallitsos (Καλλίτσος) - Serifos (Σεριφος)

de fr

Easy hike on a path with a slight elevation gain, beautiful views of the east coast of Serifos.

A map of Serifos (Anavasi) is recommended. Hiking maps are posted near the bus stops in Livadi and Chora.

This is hike no. 1 on the map. To get to the start, from Livadi, take hike no. 1A via the stairs or bus (check timetables, which vary depending on the season). Parking is available near the bus stop in Chora.

You can return on foot via the same route or along the coastal road that runs alongside the beaches, or by bus from Kallitsos (out of season, twice a day at 7.15 a.m. and 3 p.m.)

Kallitsos
Agios Stefanos

Description of the walk

(S) The path starts in Chora just opposite the bus stop between the small grocery store and the kafeneon, down a few steps, then turn left. Continue along the stony road to leave the village and take the path at the first signpost numbered 1.

(1) The path continues to the small chapel of Agios Stefanos.

(2) Take a slight left. Continue until you pass a bridge, after which you turn left into the grass. You then climb up to the chapel of Pano Stavros, where you have a beautiful view of the coast and the beach of Psili Amos (ψιλη αμμος) in particular.

(3) The path continues to climb, passing over a dry stone counterfort and skirting the summit before descending towards Kallitsos. (Kallitsos is also called Kentarchos (κένταρχος) after the beach below.) (E)

⚑Departure from Greece
This is an easy hike, half on an unpaved road and half on a path and rocks. The suggested starting point is near the Coralli campsite on Livadakia beach. By car, it is best to park in the car park at the port in Livadi. We recommend the "Anavasi" map of Serifos.

⚑Departure from Greece
This hike can be done as a loop, starting from Panagia (easier for parking). It is possible to reach Pyrgos by road. Descend to Sykamia beach after passing the small village of Galani (No. 6). From there, you can continue along the rocks to reach Skala (No. 6A). The return to Panagia climbs past the Chapel of Agia Barbara (No. 5). You can also get to the starting point by taking the bus from Livadi or Chora. Out of season, this is the school bus, so check the timetable. The hiking map is displayed at the bus stops in Livadi and Chora. The "Anavasi" map of Serifos is recommended.

⚑Departure from Greece
Hike starting from Artemonas, first following trail number 3 from the ELTA post office in Apollonia, then trail 3a which leads to the monastery of Panagia Chrysopigi (Apofoko beach) before reaching Faros beach via a coastal path. This is a fairly easy, well-marked hike that passes through terraces lined with olive trees, fields and churches. The return journey is by bus from Faros; see the timetable online. If you take trail 3 instead of trail 3a, trail 3 ends at Platis Gialos beach.
