VATHI - SIFNOS
 The
toponym Vathi means that the port is situated in a deeper, lower
part in comparison with the surrounding area or that the sea is
quite deep near the land so that the ships can approach it.
On the road from Apollonia to
Katavati and to Vathi, you shall meet
the monastery of Fyrogia and after a while on your right there is
the hill of Agios Andreas with the homonymous church on its top,
which has been built in 1701. At this area there is one of the most
important
archaeological sites
of Sifnos. The archaeological findings here show the continuous
inhabitin g from the Mycenean to the
Hellenistic Times. The
excavations have brought into light a big part of the Mycenean wall
of the 12th c.B.C. Inside it there are ruins from five
buildings, possibly houses.
Almost
in the middle of the road to Vathi, there is the monastery of
Taxiarchis of Mersini (1738). When arriving to Vathi, at the right
edge of the big horseshoe-shaped beach with the calm waters, one
shall find the Church of Taxiarches and of "Ev angelistria (17th
century)", which is difficult to approach.
Vathi
is a beautiful picturesque leeward port with a sandy
beach with
yellow sand and deep blue waters. Its gulf with the calm
crystal-clear sea is fascinating.
Here
you shall find the biggest hotel complex of the island,
rooms to let
and apartments and literally "on the sea",
traditional taverns,
patisseries with traditional sweets, cafeterias, as well as
workshops and
pottery
stores,
where the visitor can find the famous products of
Sifnos’ ceramics
and watch in person the way they are manufactured.
