ANO PETALI - SIFNOS
 Petali
means in the local dialect
short rocky hillock. Ano Petali is the village with the best view
over the East. From the courtyard of the parish
church of Agios
Ioannis one can see the impressive view of the central settlements
down to the faraway Kastro. It is the southest of the three villages
which used to form the Community of
Artemonas. It spreads from
Apollonia, at Taxiarchaki to
Agios Loukas, at the bridge, in Gournia.
What is remarkable is the church of Agios Antypas (1636) for its
architecture and its
history. It was th e place where the school that
`was established by Nikolaos Chrissogelos operated during the
Revolution times (1821).
It
is worth wandering around the narrow streets of the village and
admire its snowy-white houses, which are decorated with traditional
architectural decorations, the small courtyards with the bloomy
bougainvilleas, the low limy stone bench and the picturesque
churches.
In
Ano Petali you shall find
a hotel, rooms and apartments to let,
restaurants
as well as a lovely traditional café!
