Vathi Bay

      It is about a small leeward port with a sandy beach and deep blue water.  The small bay with the crystal-clear sea fascinates you.

      The old footpath as well as the main road to Vathi, that is old settlement of potters in the SW beach of island, starts from ‘Katavati'. On the road to Vathi the traveller can see the monastery of ‘Fyrogia’ and after a short while the church of  Saint Andrea, built in 1701 in the homonym prehistoric citadel. The archaeological discoveries here testify the continuous living from the ‘Mycenaean’ until the Hellenistic years. In the means of roughly way is found the monastery of ‘Taxiarchis of Mersini’ (1738). On the right side of the big petal-shape beach with the calm sea it is built (17th century) the Church of ‘Taxiarchis’ and 'Evaggelistrias'. 

      At Vathi you will find Greek taverns, patisseries, café-bars and traditional pottery-making shops were visitors can observe the craft of making pottery in the traditional Sifnian fashion.
