ARTEMONAS - SIFNOS
 It
is situated at the north of Apollonia in a distance of one and a
half kilometer from it. It is a real jewel of Sifnos. High at the
top of the hill only two of the old series of wind mills are
preserved in a good condition. From here, the view of Sifnos is
panoramic. The visitor can look far away at the surrounding islands,
at Kastro, at the central settlements, even at
Kamares. It is said
that at the site where Panagia of Kochi is built today, according to
the tradition, there used to be during the ancient times a worship
center of "Ekvatria" Artemis, who was the goddess who used to
protect people during their disembarkation from the ships and who
also used to safeguard the happy issue of all the cases.
 The
walk around the paved narrow streets of the village is a unique
experience, as the visitor can see some of the most beautiful
mansions of the island, in the railed in verdant gardens. The
promenade in all the neighborhoods keeps continuous surprises and
the image of this marvelous residential complex when it is bathed in
the faint light of the afternoon shall certainly touch your soul.
The village, with the particular residential development, attracts
the visitors in a magic way.
It is the homeland of the great master and national fighter Nikolaos
Chrissogelos and of the poet and philologist
Ioannis Gryparis. From
1914 to 1998 it was the seat of the homonymous community of
Artemonas. The visitor besides from the classic mansions, must also
visit the house where the poet Ioannis Gryparis was born and the
churches Panagia the Kochi with its interesting architecture, Panagia of Ammos, where one can see the icon Panagia the Monachi, a
rare representation of the Virgin Mary without the Holy Infant, and
the beautiful church Panagia of Balis and Agios Spyridonas.
In
Artemonas there are
hotels,
many rooms and apartments

stay there, since it offers the possibility to have peaceful

Apollonia. In the village one
