Chryssopigi Monastery, Former Eastern Orthodox monastery on a cape near Faros, Sifnos, Greece

Chryssopigi Monastery stands on a 400-metre-long, 100-metre-wide cape on the southeast coast of Sifnos, near the fishing village of Faros. A narrow cleft separates the cape from the island, and a bridge links the two. The complex is split by the cleft: the single-aisle barrel-vaulted church and two cells sit on the rock, while the old refectory of 1675, a newer one from 1923 and other cells stand on the mainland at a lower level. The buildings are small, built of stone, and arranged freely on different levels without a surrounding wall.

The earliest reference to the monastery is a manuscript by the monk Parthenios Chairetis, dated by Theodosios Sperantzas to 1676 or 1677, which recounts the miracles of the Virgin. The oldest surviving buildings, the old refectory and adjacent cells, were built in 1675 by Papa Ieronymos Zampelis together with the katholikon. The present single-nave church carries a walled inscription of 1757, and in 1760 the monastery was bought by the stavropegic Monastery of Vryssi, appearing as its dependency in a 1798 sigillion. In 1964 Panagia Chrysopigi was named patron of Sifnos.

In 1964 Panagia Chrysopigi was designated patron saint of Sifnos, and the monastery is linked to many of the island's legends, including the splitting of the rock recorded in a 1676 or 1677 manuscript by the monk Parthenios Chairetis. The church carries a 1757 inscription and a marble floor with a double-headed eagle carved between 1801 and 1816.

The monastery sits about 2 kilometers from Platys Gialos and is reachable via a walking path leading to the stone bridge. The grounds are foot-accessible, though the paths are steep and require good footing, especially when wet.

The narrow cleft separating the islet from Sifnos is linked to a legend of the Virgin: the rock is said to have split open to save the monastery from pirates. The monk Parthenios Chairetis recorded this and other miracles in a manuscript dated 1676 or 1677.
