HIKING TO CHRISSOPIGI SIFNOS GREECE
1st route - took the bus from Artemonas to Platy Gialos and got off the stop for Chrissopigi
2nd route - took the bus from Artemonas to Faros
My vote is on 2nd route; beautiful scenery and walk much easier. Not as hilly as 1st route.

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.

Sifnos, Greece - Apollonia Artemonas - AtlasVisual
Sifnos Video Map:
Apollonia or Stavri (Crosses), as it is known to the locals, is the capital of the island. It is built on three hills in the center of the island. Walking the cobbled streets of the village, one is impressed by the traditional architecture. The uniformity of the buildings, churches and small squares create a harmonious whole. Apollonia is the administrative and commercial center of the island and has been inhabited since ancient times where the ancient city was built. As evidenced by its name, it was here that Apollo, the god of light was worshiped.
During your stay in the city, it is worth visiting the Folklore Museum and the Church of Our Lady Ouranoforas with the gilded iconostasis and rare icons. On the hill of Prophet Elias, which is the highest peak of the island, is the monastery of the same name. It was founded in the 12th century and art has been cultivated there for centuries. It is well worth a visit to see the priceless religious relics and admire the magnificent view of the island. Apollonia is famous for its nightlife. Bars and clubs with live music promise an unforgettable evening of entertainment.
