The Church of Seven Martyrs in Sifnos: The small chapel of the Seven Martyrs is probably the most photographed spot of Sifnos island. It is found in Kastro village and has been built right on a rock in the sea. When the wind blows strong, the waves hit this tiny church and create a wild, picturesque scene. The church of the Seven Martyrs is built according to the traditional Cycladic architecture, as it is painted white and has a round, blue dome.
It is linked to the main island with some stairs along the rock. A few people swim by this church, but this can end up pretty dangerous because of the abrupt rocks and the winds that blow often. It is usually closed and open for Holy Masses only on special occasions and religious celebrations. |
