APOLLONIA (Small town) SIFNOS
Apollonia, also known as Stavri, has been the capital of Siphnos since
1836. It was the seat of the Siphnos Municipality (1836-1914) and of the Apollonia
District (1914-1998), and is presently the seat of the newly formed Siphnos Municipality
(1999).
The name Apollonia derives from Apollo, meaning a town dedicated to
the worship of the God Apollo. As for the derivation of its common name, Stavri,
which dates back to 1677, there are various possible interpretations: it could
derive from the male proper name Stavros; from Timios Stavros meaning Holy Cross
(there was a church of a holy cross in the vicinity); from its location literally
at the crossroads where all the main roads of the island meet; or from the crosswise
design of the town plan and houses.
Whatever the derivation of its common name, Apollonia is indeed situated
in the geographical center of the island and it is built amphitheatrically on
three hills. The island's commercial center, this is where you will find, among
other things, news agencies, travel offices, banks, stationary shops, as well
as the island's medical clinic, two pharmacies, the two police stations, the telecommunications
facilities sand gas stations. Apollonia has no shortage of restaurants, traditional
coffee houses, cafes, bars, and souvenir gift shops.
Visitors can stroll on Apollonia's stone-paved streets and lanes,
and enjoy the picturesque to local architecture, or have a drink or coffee at
the many coffee bars or sample the delicious local cuisine in one of the many
restaurants. To appreciate the local history and culture, a visit to the Folklore
Museum in Apollonia's central square is highly recommended.
Other sites of historical and cultural interest include the old schools
of Saint Artemios (1832-1988), the church of Saint Artemios (1629), which belongs
to the Simonopetry of Mount Athos, the Virgin Mary of Barou with the French frescoes
and wood curved temple the churches Saint Athanasios, Saint Sostis, the Transfiguration
of Christ, the Holy Cross and the Bearded Virgin ''Uraniofora'', the busts of
poet Rambaya in the square of the same name and that of Aristomenis Provelengios,

Gymnasium.
South-west from Apollonia, on the highest peak of Mount Prophet Elias,
visitors can see the imposing monastery of the same name (1145-1890), where many
of the monks were iconographers; those who enjoy hiking will never forget the
panoramic view of the Aegean and the scenic way in which the island's many villages
punctuate the soft contours of the hills across from Mount Prophet Elias.
On the north slope of the same mountain, visitors can also see the
Monastery of Saint John tou Moungou (the Mute) (ca. 1650-1834), where Parthenios

ARTEMONAS (Village) SIFNOS
Tel: +30 22840 32388
Fax: +30 22840 31234
According to the local lore, the village was allegedly the place where
Artemis, The well-wisher, namely the goddess who protected those disembarking
from the arriving ships, but also the one who brought about favorable resolutions
to various troubles, was worshipped. Though this lore made for good stories, it
is highly unlikely that is historically accurate, for in ancient time places were
Artemis was worshipped were called Artemissia. According to a scholar the name
Artemonas, or Artemon, relies on the same linguistic structure as that of Parthenonas,
or Parthenon, which itself derives etymologically from Parthena meaning virgin,
virginity being one of the attributions of Artemis.
Artemonas is the birthplace of Nikolaos Chrysogelos, already mentioned
above, and of Ioannis Gryparis, a highly esteemed Greek poet and philologist.
A municipality in its own right from 1914 until 1998, Artemonas is now part of
the single Municipality of Siphnos. One and a half kilometers north of Apollonia,
Artemonas is one of the most picturesque villages of Siphnos, thanks to the neoclassical
architecture of many of its houses and its beautiful gardens.
Of the many windmills that used to stand at the top of the hill, today
only two are in good condition. This spot is worth a visit for its panoramic view
not only for the other villages, including Kastro, but also of the nearby islands.
In Artemonas visitors can see the house where the poet Gryparis was born, the
churches of the Virgin Mary of Kohi, for its interesting architecture, the Virgin
Mary of Samos, an extension to which was added in1788 and where you will find
the icon of the Virgin Mary, The Nun, a rare iconic depiction of Mary without
the Holy Child and the Virgin Mary of Balis, whose feast day is celebrated on
November 21.

LINDOS (Small town) RHODES
Lindos stands on the eastern side of the island, at a distance of
55 km from Rhodes town. According to tradition, it was founded by Lindos, brother
of Kamiros and Ialysos. There were links between the culture of the ancient city
and that of Mycenae, on which it seems to have exerted an influence. Lindos soon
developed into an important commercial and shipping centre (between 8th and the
6th centuries BC), and it founded colonies throughout the Mediterranean basin.
The city also made advances in the arts and letters. Cleobulos, on of the Seven
Sages of ancient Greece, the poet Peisinus and the sculptor Chares, who created
the famous Colossus of Rhodes, were all Lindians. The city continued to flourish
through the Middle Ages, and was important in the manufacture of pottery, embroidery
and woven goods. It was taken by the Knights of St. John and later by the Turks.
From its long history, there are many traces to admire today. The most important
monuments are to by found on the acropolis, where we can see the trireme carved
in the rock, the colonnade of the temple of Lindian Athena, the Propylum and the
temple itself. The temple once contained picture by the most famous painters of
antiquity: Zeuxes, Apelles and Parrasius. The VII Ode of Pindar, in praise of
the athletic triumphs of the Olympic victor Diagoras, was carved on the temple
marbles. Of the monuments below the acropolis, the most important are the Tomb
of Cleobulus, the Theatre and the Tomb of Archocrates. The village mansions are
of great interest, as is the church of Our Lady.
On the coast near Lindos is the little bay of St. Paul, where according
to tradition the Evangelist landed when he arrived in Rhodes to spread the new
religion.
