village half a century ago, reflected in wonderful neoclassical buildings and homes with courtyards full of flowers, mainly found along the village\u2019s central path. The views from many parts of the village are stunning. From the area of the windmills (in the east of town) known as \u2018Bella Vista\u2019 (or Kallithea in Greek), one can admire the views of the village of Kastrou from above, look out across the open sea, and also see many of the other Cycladic islands.<\/p>\n<p>Artemonas is the birthplace of Nikolaos Chrisogelos, the great teacher of the nation, a fighter for independence, and the first Minister of Education of the modern Greek state, who was a pioneer of peer method teaching and primary education. His bust can be seen in the square next to the Artemonas Local Community offices and the Citizen\u2019s Advice Service Centre.<\/p>\n<p>Artemonas is also the birthplace of the distinguished philologist, poet and translator, Ioannis Gryparis, who served as the first director of the National Theatre and was awarded the highest honours in Arts and Letters by the Academy of Athens. Outside his home on the street named after him in Artemonas there are commemorative marble plaques from Sifnian Association and the Association of Greek Writers. A statue of the poet was erected in the courtyard of the Sifnos Junior School on August 19, 2012 by the Cultural Association of Sifnos, the work of the sculptor Kostas Klouvatou.<\/p>\n<p>Every September the Cultural Association of Sifnos organises a three-day Festival of Cycladic Gastronomy in honour of Nikolaos Tselementes, the chef and cookery book writer, with the participation of chefs and cooks, musicians and dancers from many of the Cyclades islands, with demonstrations of local recipes, culinary competitions and many other side events and exhibitions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f85f3ce e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f85f3ce\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-566d9a8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"566d9a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center!important;\"><strong>Vathi<\/strong><\/p><p>Vathi is located in the west, 10 km from the capital, Apollonia.<\/p><p>At \u201cPunta tou Polemikou\u201d, the northern end of the bay, archaeological excavations have brought to light prehistoric settlements and tombs.

for Excellence in Arts and Letters. His house lies on the main road through Exambela, his tomb is in the picturesque chapel of \u2018old man Agios Nikolaos\u2019 (to distinguish it from the more recent parish church of Agios Nikolaos) and a bust of the poet, crafted by Giannoulis Halepas is in the courtyard of the Sifnos High Schools in Arades.<\/p>\n<p>It is also the birthplace of Nikolaos Tselementes, the great chef and cooking teacher, author of the first Greek recipe book, the famed \u201cTselementes\u201d, first published in 1910 and still in publication today.

Two defensive rings of buildings can be observed, each built close by the next, with mansion houses for the richer inhabitants in the inner ring where they had greater protection, and the houses of the poor in the outer ring.<\/p>\n<p>The ruins of the ancient acropolis stand tall at the top of the hill (6th century BC), ancient columns are set in the walls of newer buildings, and there are Roman sarcophagi to be seen in the alleys. There are the six \u2018lodges\u2019 (gateways at the entrances to the village), 16th and 17th century chapels with decorated floors and many other details making Kastro a living open-air museum.<\/p>\n<p>At the highest point of the village is the \u2018katholikon\u2019 cathedral church, and nearby stands a column bearing an inscription by Giannoulis Da Corogna dating back to the 14th century. The Sifnos Archaeological Museum can be found in centre of the village, with exhibits (mainly sculptures and coins) from the prehistoric to the Roman era.<\/p>\n<p>East of Kastro is the picturesque chapel of the \u2018Eptamartiron\u2019 (Seven Witnesses) standing on the rocks, where the panoramic view of the sea is breathtaking. Further to the north, the ancient path leads to Panagia Poulati, a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. Poulati, like Eptamartyron, is an ideal spot for diving off the rocks. West of the village, at the foot of Kastro hill, there is a small pebbled beach (the island\u2019s ancient harbour), known by the name Gialos or \u2018Seralia\u2019 from the word seraglio, meaning palaces, that were once to be found there.<\/p>\n<p>Kastro opened the first known school on the island (in the early 17th century), and later established the famous School of Panagia Tafou (the Holy Sepulchre) also known as the \u2018Seminary of the Archipelago\u2019 (from the mid-17th century). On the same site today stand the twin churches of Agios Stefanos and Agios Ioannis Kalyvitis. Great teachers and priests were graduates of the seminary, including Nikolaos Chrysogelos (later a teacher at the same school and the first Minister of Education of the Modern Greek state), as well as forty-eight bishops and two ecumenical patriarchs.<\/p>\n<p>Kastro is the birthplace of the university professor and academic Georgios Maridakis (his marble bust can be seen in the courtyard outside the Theologos chapel). It is also the birthplace of the former President of the Supreme Court of Greece, Antonis Zilimonos.<\/p>\n<p>Kastro today offers a few rooms to let, restaurants, bakeries, caf\u00e9s and bars, and the beach front (Seralia) has a few fish tavernas.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9fc9869 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"9fc9869\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4faba0e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4faba0e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center!important;\"><strong>Katavati<\/strong><\/p><p>Between Apollonia and Exampela lies the settlement of Katavati, which includes the area of Eleimonas with the church of the same name.<\/p><p>Here, apart from the parish church of Agios Georgios and the other chapels, the church of Panagia &#8220;Angelochtisti&#8221; is of interest, which, according to tradition, was built and operated by Angels.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-896b67c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"896b67c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f62286 elementor-widget elementor-widget-st_sliders\" data-id=\"2f62286\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"st_sliders.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"st-sliders style-1\" data-effect=\"coverflow\" data-slides-per-view=\"\" data-pagination=\"off\" data-navigation=\"off\" data-auto-play=\"off\" data-loop=\"false\" data-delay=\"\" data-center-slider=\"on\" data-style-slider=\"style-1\" data-space-between=\"30\" >\r\n            <div class=\"swiper-container\">\r\n                <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\r\n                                                <div class=\"swiper-slide\">\r\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/milesaway.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Katavati-Sifnos-Miles-Away-Travel.jpg\" alt=\"Miles Away Travel\">\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15896ad e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"15896ad\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f0766c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6f0766c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Further south on the main road leading to Vathi, the monastery of Firogeia (16th century) is built, which was restored in the 1970s by the Greek Environmental and Cultural Heritage Society, donating Greece its first Europa Nostra Cultural Heritage Award.

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.<\/p><p>The rocks at Chrysopigi are a favourite jumping off point for many swimmers.<\/p><p>East of the church is the sandy beach of \u2018Apokofto\u2019 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 Glyfo in Faros.<\/p><p>West of the church is Saoures, a small secluded pebble beach.<\/p><p>Local attractions include the White Tower, located near the crossroads between Platys Gialos and Chrysopigi, which is the most famous of the 77 ancient towers on the island and the best preserved.<\/p><p>In the general area of Chrysopigi there
