Taxiarchis Monastery (Vathy, Sifnos)
36° 56.0′ N · 24° 41.3′ E
The whitewashed 16th-century church of the Taxiarches (Archangels) stands on the beach at Vathy, reflected in the bay: the most photographed waterline chapel on Sifnos.
Practical
Municipality: 16th century, with a festival three times a year. The feast calendar gives July 12 (evening before) and September 5, and the municipality also mentions one in November. The church pier is shallow, so land by dinghy (SailingIssues). Dress modestly.
