Platis Gialos ("the large beach" in Greek) is a swiftly expanding seaside tourist town, extended across a large and extremely well liked beach; the village sits within a territory packed with agriculture and olive trees. It contains about one hundred and twenty permanent citizens, virtually all who work in the tourism industry. The destination is a traditional area of pottery and you will notice a range of ceramic workshops in which you might acquire terrific pottery containers, which you might also see getting made. The community is situated only a dozen kilometers towards the south of Apollonia.
Visitors will take joy in the beautiful views on the top of the hill in which the Holy Monastery of Panaghia tou Vounou (Virgin Mary of the Mountain) sits. Established in early nineteenth century, the Orthodox Church features a famed historic icon, the icon of Panaghia Mahairoussa and in addition holds the feasts honoring the Virgin Mary. The primary feast happens to recognize the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary, on the twenty fifth of March and then the 2nd on the 21st of November honoring the Presentation of the Virgin Mary.
Northeast of Platis Gialos it sits the White Tower, by far the most relevant towers found on Sifnos island. Through these towers past residents had come up with a series of beacons, which would indicate to the folks on the island in case of an imminent invasion. At the location of Acroteriaki the eminent Greek archaeologist Christos Tsountas spotted and revealed an ancient cemetery. Across the entry of the cove, on the uninhabited islet of Kitriani, you may view the old chapel of Panaghia Kitriani, dedicated to Virgin Mary. The chapel was founded in the eleventh century and it's perhaps the most historic building on Sifnos.
In addition to taking in the sights, this particular beach destination is fantastic for playing in the sea and lying in the sun and has a number of wonderful restaurants and cafes.
