Apollonia Απολλωνία, Sifnos. The biggest festival of all is that of the patron saint of the island, Panagia Chrysopigi, celebrated on Ascension Day, attended by many people from all over the island and beyond. In the afternoon of the day before, the miracle icon of Zoodochou Pigis (the Life-Giving Spring) is ‘transported’ from the home of the ‘panigiras’ and the festival procession, with the clergy and the faithful, follows the path to the Holy Church of Agios Georgios in Kamares where the liturgy is held. Then the clergy, with the ‘panigiras’ carrying the icon, board the ferry that each year on this day adds the sacred rock of Chrysopigi to its route from Piraeus. The ship does not carry the believers because disembarkation is potentially dangerous. The crowd of believers, local people and visitors, take the road to Chrissopigi where the arrival of the icon is greeted with great enthusiasm, and the celebrations are honoured by music of the Coast Guard band.

Kapetan Tasos Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This place is gorgeous, clean, kind staff and the cutest kittens. We had a great time. The bed was a bit firm for us, but it was worth the experience. Thank you!!!"

Milos Breeze Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about our stay was phenomenal. The staff is constantly welcoming you with a smile and will do anything to help you with your stay. The breakfast that is included is very tasty and had tons of options. There are all sorts of helpful beach items you can take to elevate your beach day. If you are comfortable keeping your bags close to packed, enjoy a game or 2 of roulette, and want to save a couple of dollars try doing the flex stay. In our 3 nights at the hotel we had 2 rooms, each unique with great views, the staff made the move easy, we think we hit the jackpot! "
