The monastery of Panagia Chrisopigi, the protector of Sifnos, situated on top of a rock emerging from the Aegean Sea will take your breath away. No wonder couples from all over the world choose this place for their wedding day. According to local tradition, in the Medieval ages, nuns would live in the monastery. After an invasion from pirates, the nuns ran to hide but one nun did not manage to leave on time. Chased by the pirates, the nun prayed on Virgin Mary to save her and this is when the rock of the monastery was cut in half and the pirates fell into the sea. This is the local explanation why the rock on which the monastery is built is separated from the rest of the island with a narrow stretch of sea. At the left of the church lies the bay of Apokofto, a quiet, sandy beach with crystal, turquoise waters and two local taverns serving Sifnian cuisine.

A stunning place to visit, with a very calm and relaxed feel. This is a very traditional place situated on a truly stunning part of the coastline and very close to Platis Gialos. The monastery itself is very authentic and peaceful, with the opportunity to step inside the church during the morning and afternoon.
