Ten kilometers from Apollonia, just before Platy Gialos, is the most famous spot on the island, Chrysopigi.
On the peninsula here is Monastery of Panagia of Chrysopigi (Virgin Mary of Chrysopigi)(1523), patron and protector of the island, celebrated with a festival on the eve of Analipsi (Ascension Day). The festival of Chrysopigi follows a special ritual that includes procession of the icon around the villages and an all-night vigil. It attracts hundreds of pilgrims every year.
The rocks at Chrysopigi are a favourite jumping off point for many swimmers.
East of the church is the sandy beach of ‘Apokoftou’ with its crystal-clear azure waters. The only buildings are the two restaurants right on the sands. From there, begins a cobbled pathway leading to the beach of Glyfos in Faros.
West of the church is Saoures, a small secluded pebble beach.
Local attractions include the White Tower, located near the crossroads between Platy Gialos and Chrysopigi, which is the most famous of the 77 ancient towers on the island and the best preserved.
In the general area of Chrysopigi there is a grocer’s and limited tourist accommodation.
ISLAND of SIFNOS: PERFECT, SCENIC FISHING VILLAGE in a FJORD-LIKE BAY (GREECE) ????⛱️
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go visit Heronissos, the most beautiful and picturesque fishing village of the Greek island of Sifnos. The village lies strategically protected from the elements in a fjord-like bay, as far north as you can get on Sifnos. It is an absolutely wonderful fishing village where the pulse is ticking slowly and eyes may enjoy a view so beautiful that it is suspiciously alike a decor. Here are three tavernas, one mini market and a few hotels and pensions. If you arrive here during off-season, you will meet more ducks than people. Many fishing boats have Heronissos as a base, thanks to the sheltered position.

Athens, its capital, retains landmarks including the 5th-century B.C. Acropolis citadel with the Parthenon temple. Greece is also known for its beaches, from the black sands of Santorini to the party resorts of Mykonos.

Sifnos, the silent power of the Cyclades.
Evocative landscapes, lively traditions and a relaxed atmosphere: high-quality holidays on the island of balance and harmony
Among the Cycladic islands, Sifnos stands out for both its architecture and natural beauty. Once a thriving gold and silver mining location, it has, since ancient times, cultivated a reputation for the finer things in life. Today the island combines the picturesque with a rich tradition in cuisine and crafts, along with a high-level infrastructure in tourism. Despite its refined culture and “Cycladic chic” ambience, Sifnos retains a low profile that instills peacefulness in the visitor.
The island offers a wide array of beaches, from Panagia Chryssopigi, where you can dive from rocky ledges, to more organized swimming at Kamares, Platys Gialos and Vathy. For those who prefer to avoid crowds there is Fykiada, accessible on foot, while if you rent a yacht or have your own the island has multiple small, secluded natural bays to enjoy.
The town of Artemon is defined by its beautiful neoclassical homes and well-tended narrow streets, while its surrounding villages stand out for their whitewashed courtyards, the deep colors of the bougainvillea and the finely crafted terracotta chimney tops on the roofs. Traditional cuisine on Sifnos includes chickpea soup made in ceramic bowls, mastelo (lamb or kid baked on vine branches) and salad with capers. A swim at the quaint little ancient port of Seralia can be followed by a seafood hors d’oeuvre, and later on by a walk up to the medieval settlement of Kastro (Castle) with the Venetian loggias to see the sunset and finally you can wrap up an eventful day with Sifnos’ rich nightlife.
Apollonia also offers plenty of choices for entertainment, as well as more traditional pursuits, especially the island’s church festivals (panigyri), which are accompanied by food for all and music – the island even has a name for locals who organize the festivals (panigyrades). If you go to the island in September, you will catch the annual Cycladic Gastronomy Festival, named after its native Nikolaos Tselementes, a renowned chef in Greece forever synonymous with the Greek cookbook.
Like a gracious cosmopolitan hostess who also follows local tradition, Sifnos is an island of opposites that work together and provides a mix of people and lifestyles without losing its balance.
Things to do on Sifnos
Trek the trail from Kastro to Eptamartyros
One visit to this conical hill, where you will find the walled mediaeval village of Kastro (Castle), will capture your imagination. Vaulted arches, mystical little chapels, stone cottages nestled behind ancient foundations. Take in the breathtaking view from the trail around the settlement towards the sea to the chapel of Eptamartyrou. Mariners love this point, as well as the port of Seralia that flourished under Frankish rule. There you can savour local delicacies in the quaint little ouzeries.
Cycladic architecture harmonising with nature
The villages of Sifnos are built in perfect harmony with each other and with the landscape. Apollonia, Artemonas, Ag Loukas, Exambelos, Katavati, Pano (Upper) and Kato (Lower) Petali, all dotted around the centre of the island like electrons around a nucleus. Here students come to learn the essentials of Cycladic architecture first hand. During your holidays here, you’ll never tire of walking around them with their cobblestone lanes and whitewashed stairways.
One for the road
Sifnos by night is a one-way road. Whatever you end up doing, you will pass through the famous street of Apollonia, teeming with restaurants, cafes, chapels, boutiques and stone dwellings with beautiful patios; an ideal setting, in fact, for sipping cocktails!
The irresistible beauty of Vathi
From the hill above Vathi, the view is like an aerial photograph. The bay with its calm, deep blue water almost forms a complete circle. St Taxiarchis, a church built in the 16th century, sits on the dock, a landmark at the edge of the beach. This picturesque port, with its sandy beach and seafood restaurants, is guaranteed to charm you.
A site of pilgrimage
At dawn, the sun rises behind the belltower of Chrysopigi Monastery, painting everything in resplendent shades of pink and orange. The 17th century monastery, built on a craggy rock, is the most important pilgrimage site on the island.

Παναγιά Βρύσης, Σίφνος / Monastery Panagia Vrisis, Sifnos Greece
Το μεγαλύτερο μοναστήρι της Σίφνου είναι αυτό της Παναγίας Βρυσιανής –γνωστό και ως Παναγίας της Βρύσης– και βρίσκεται νότια της Απολλωνίας στο δρόμο προς Πλατύ Γιαλό και Φάρο, σε κοντινή απόσταση από τον οικισμό Εξάμπελα. Χτισμένο τον 17ο αι. σε σημείο που άλλοτε εντοπιζόταν η εκκλησία του Αγίου Σάββα, ήταν ανέκαθεν αντρικό μοναστήρι και ξεχώριζε για την αρχιτεκτονική του. Σε σταυροειδή, βασιλικό ρυθμό ο ναός του και με δισυπόστατο καμπαναριό, στα σημαντικότερα χαρακτηριστικά του το ξυλόγλυπτο τέμπλο και η εικόνα της Παναγίας της Βρύσης της Βρεφοκρατούσας. Ο σπουδαίος αριθμός εικόνων, χειρογράφων και θρησκευτικών κειμηλίων της μονής οδήγησε στη δημιουργία του Μουσείου Εκκλησιαστικής Τέχνης που λειτουργεί στο χώρο της.

Travel with us 10 minutes and see every point of the Faros beach from above. Explore a unique destination, see the beauty of the village and admire the golden beaches with crystal blue waters
Faros is a sheltered harbour and fishing village 7 km from Apollonia. It was the island’s main port until 1883 and is named after the ancient tower (Faros being the Greek word for lighthouse) on the beach (where the footpath from Faros to Glyfo begins today). On the waterfront at Faros is a small stone theatre which hosts a variety of cultural events during the summer season.
In Faros there are three small sandy beaches:
The central beach, where the asphalt road ends, has spectacular views of Chrisopigi. It also has a number of restaurants, cafés, bars and a grocery store.
The beach at Glyfou is so named for the well of brackish water which has been there since ancient times, and is still there today, to the right of Faros beach. From Glyfou begins the beautiful paved footpath (illuminated at night) leading to the beaches of Apokoftou and Chrysopigi. To the right of the beach, the steps to leading to the ancient mines and the remains of the old ore-loading facilities are visible.
Lastly, there is Fasolou, to the left of Faros beach, where there is a restaurant and rooms to let. The Monastery of Stavros (the Cross) in Faros is also to be found at Fasolou.
Hiking trails starting at Faros lead to the Acropolis on the hill of Agios Andreas and Kastro.
