Chryssopigi Monastery, Eastern Orthodox church building in Platys Gialos, Greece.
The Chryssopigi Monastery stands atop a steep rock formation, connecting to the mainland through a narrow stone bridge over the Aegean Sea.
Established in 1700, the monastery gained protection status as an archaeological site and remains a significant religious structure in the Sifnos Municipality.
The monastery functions as a central point for religious ceremonies, with its main celebration occurring during the Ascension Day through processions and vigils.
Located 2 kilometers from Platys Gialos, visitors can access two adjacent beaches: Apokofto Beach to the east and Saoures Beach to the west.
The monastery occupies a peninsula formed by a rock that separated from the mainland during an earthquake, creating a natural stone arch beneath.
