Platis Gialos
The name of the place comes from the local speaking
phrase Wide Seashore and it means a seashore that
has relatively big width, a spacious beach.
It is one of the busiest beaches of the island and
it is considered one of the bigger beaches of Cyclades.
North in the top of the hill dominates the monastery
of Panagia Vounou (1813) from where the view is
magnificent. SE is found the Aspros Pirgos, the
most famous from the 57 ancient towers of Sifnos.
Southerly in the promontory of Plati Gialos a prehistoric
cemetery was discovered. SE in the entry of bight
is found the privately-owned and uninhabited islet
of Kitriani, on which the unique building is the
Church of Panagia Kipriani (1732). |
