Apollonia Απολλωνία, Sifnos. The biggest festival of all is that of the patron saint of the island, Panagia Chrysopigi, celebrated on Ascension Day, attended by many people from all over the island and beyond. In the afternoon of the day before, the miracle icon of Zoodochou Pigis (the Life-Giving Spring) is ‘transported’ from the home of the ‘panigiras’ and the festival procession, with the clergy and the faithful, follows the path to the Holy Church of Agios Georgios in Kamares where the liturgy is held. Then the clergy, with the ‘panigiras’ carrying the icon, board the ferry that each year on this day adds the sacred rock of Chrysopigi to its route from Piraeus. The ship does not carry the believers because disembarkation is potentially dangerous. The crowd of believers, local people and visitors, take the road to Chrissopigi where the arrival of the icon is greeted with great enthusiasm, and the celebrations are honoured by music of the Coast Guard band.

5/5 Excellent

"Maria was the perfect host, very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The room or small apartment was very clean and comfortable, with cats and tortoises joining us for the excellent continental breakfast which was served to us every day by Maria and Elsa. The room was very traditional, everything worked including the aircon, very convenient to stay near the port and resteraunts etc. The only downsides are its not easy to find and the internet is not great, but this is a problem across the island."
