Panagia Chrysopigi Monastery
Παναγία Χρυσοπηγή
A white monastery on a headland of rocks, joined to the land by a small bridge. It is a symbol of Sifnos.
Panagia Chrysopigi Monastery was built in 1650 and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, patron of Sifnos. It stands on a headland of rock split by a crack, and a small stone bridge connects it to the land. According to legend, the crack was opened by the Virgin Mary's miraculous intervention. The white church against the deep blue sea makes one of the island's most classic scenes. Next to it is Apokofto Beach, where you can swim and then eat at a seaside restaurant. From Apollonia, the bus takes about 15 minutes.
