Agios Loukas

The majestic and wealthy

Sifnos real estate Agios Loukas

Agios Loukas is characterized by graciousness and prestige, as it is associated with the shipowner’s caste of the island. In essence, it is a continuation of Artemonas. There are many who do not consider it a different settlement. It begins from the northern fringes of Ano Petali and extends to the north towards the district of Krousta and to the east up to the district of Kamaroti from where anyone can admire the beauties of central Sifnos all the way up to the Castle.

All neighborhoods can be separated based on the extremely interesting churches of the region.  Therefore, we have:

  • The neighborhood of Agios Konstantinos, with the busy square, the restaurants and the cafes. This is where we can find the bus terminal for the whole island. An ideal place for an evening walk, easily accessible by car.

  • If we continue southward, we will find Nikolaos Chrisogelos square, decorated by his bust. There is also a restaurant and a little further, another famous confectionery and bakery. Hotels, rented rooms and the Citizens Service Centre (KEP) of Municipality of Sifnos can also be found here.
  • Farther south, we come across the district around the Church of Virgin Mary in Gournia (1774). The temple is decorated with rare religious and folklore murals painted by hieromonk and folklore painter Agapios Nadalis or Deftereos (1750-1829), native to Sifnos. The name “Gournia” comes from the Greek word “gourna” which means “trough”: stone natural cavities found at the adjacent torrent, where the housewives used to do their laundry. It is a rather densely populated location, famous for its two-storey manors with their vertical blocks.

  • At the eastern end of the settlement, we find the old parish of Agios Loukas. The settlement was named after the homonymous temple. The parish church of Taxiarchis is found nearby, as well as the church of Agios Georgios “Afentis”. A hotel, a super-market, restaurants and an electric appliances store can be found at the region.
  • A very important site is the church of Panagia Poulati. It is located outside the settlement, north and east, and can be reached through the dirt road. The word “Poulati” comes from the Greek word “pouli” which means “bird”. It is said that the church was named Poulati, because it looks like a snow-white bird ready to fly. The little bay of Poulati, with it crystal clear waters, is among the quietest for fishing and swimming.
