The two things to do on Serifos are go to the beach and see the Hora.
Livadhi has a usable "town beach," but the much better Livadhaki beach is a short walk away by a path cutting across the base of the little Poundi peninsula which forms the southern boundary of Livadhi bay, past Agios Yiorgos church (it is much farther if you take the paved road from the middle of Livadhi.)
Hora, the old island capital, is a wonderfully unspoiled whitewashed Cycladic town up on the hillside about a mile from Livadhi. No directions are needed, since each town and the path between them can easily be seen from the other. There are frequent buses, or it's a steep walk going up, an easier one going down, by an old, fairly straight donkey path -- the modern paved road is much twistier and crosses the donkey path frequently. A good idea is to take the bus up, and walk back down. There's not much to do in Hora except enjoy the atmosphere and views, but these are worth the trip.
Those interested in Byzantine architecture and the history of Orthodox Christianity may find it worth while to make their way to the inland village of Panagia to see the Church of the Koimisis (also known as Xilos Panagia,) a rare example of a well preserved 10th century domed church with 12th century frescos. No regular hours; inquire locally about access.
