PENSION AKROGIALI is located at the beach of Platis Gialos, the most popular beach of Sifnos, which is awarded each year with the blue flag of the European Union. It combines natural beauty and integrated tourist facilities. It is at the island’s south side and 12 kilometers from Apollonia. It is considered the most beautiful beach of Sifnos, and one of the longest of the Cyclades, which is why it has the highest number of visitors. It is located in a bay safely out of reach of the high northeastern winds.

The area of Platis Gialos is highly developed. Here there are many hotels, cafe bars and restaurants where you can savor the traditional recipes of Sifnos. Many potteries also operate here, which you can visit and learn the secrets of this trade which is an island tradition and also purchase beautiful hand crafted earthenware.

Platis Gialos is also an area of archaeological interest. At the northeastern side of the beach are the ruins of the Aspros Pirgos (White Tower). Also, at the north side of the beach, at the top of the hill is the monastery of Panagia tou Vounou dated to 1813. The view from up there is breathtaking.
