KATO PETALI - SIFNOS
 Kato
Petali is situated at the east side of
Apollonia. When the visitor
looks the village from a distance, it looks as if it is standing
imperiously on the beautiful environment
of Sifnos, which is developed on a small hill. The settlement
spreads around a central paved square, where you shall find also the
beautiful church of Zoodohos Pigi with the castellated bell towers.
East
from Kato Petali, there is the historic
monastery
of Agios Ioannis Chrissostomos, where, according to the tradition
the first Greek School of Sifnos was lodged and where the School of
Agios Tafos has been transferred as "Hellinomouseio" of Sifnos.
(1835-1854),
before being transferred to the school of Agios Artemios in
Apollonia. At the south border of the village, there is the
picturesque church of Panagia of Koukkias (Myrtidiotissa 1614). The
architecture of the settlement repeats the Cycladic standards and
the village is one more hospitable corner for the visitor.
Here you shall find many
rooms and apartments to let,
as well as traditional taverns.
