General information
Agia Marina is the natural continuation of the port of Kamares, although it has its own "color", especially its eastern part, towards the mountain. The locals also refer to it as "Pera Panta" and in the area of the settlement are the famous pottery workshops of Sifnos. In the past, the kilns used for firing ceramics were very numerous and, today, their traces are still visible.[4][6][11]
