PANAGIA CHRYSOPIGI
Don't miss the visit to the most venerated church of Sifnos.
This 1670 church (Παναγία Χρυσοπηγή) is the most revered on Sifnos. A legend tells of the origin of the place. In the days when pirates and privateers terrorized the Aegean islands, some of them slept in the church, at the foot of an icon of the Virgin. While they slept, women would brave the danger to light candles and burn incense. The smell awakened the pirates, who set off in pursuit of the devout Siphniotes. The Virgin is said to have performed a miracle by separating the rock from the rest of the island.
