Katavati

The neighbor of Apollonia

Sifnos real estate Katavati

The settlement of Katavati is located south of Apollonia and slightly stands out from it. It is built mostly alongside the road towards the old monastery of Profitis Ilias Apsilos. The first residents of the settlement came here from Rethymno, Crete after the revolution of the Cretans against Ottomans. The toponym Katavati may be linked to the fact that it is located higher than Apollonia, thus somebody has to “katevi” (to descend) to reach it.

The village is separated into three neighborhoods. At the northern entrance, we find the neighborhood of Papa-Fotis, to the south the neighborhood of Piso Katavati or Ammos, and at the northwestern side, the neighborhood of Eleimonas, where it is worth visiting the parish church of Agios Georgios and the church of Panagia “Angelochtisti” with the conical dome. Legend has it that it was built by Angels who also perform the liturgy.
