What I liked about Sifnos, apart from the beaches, were the terrific surrounding views. We had a fantastic time in Kamares and our balcony had view to the superb blue Aegean. The huge hills at the background and the gorgeous beach with the open-air cafeterias and taverns were simply fabulous.
Each day, we used to wake up to a lovely sunrise and in the evenings we walked down to the beaches to enjoy the endearing sunset. Sometimes we took a night swim under the moonlight. So romantic! It reminded us of our honeymoon (sadly, we hadn’t discovered Greece back then!!). The villages in
Sifnos have traditional Cycladic houses. The waterfront shops have the most beautiful ceramic and pottery items. I bought a few of them and I do really love the artwork on these items as it is simply marvelous.
We rented a motorbike for a couple of days and explored the island ourselves. We discovered nice coves and very few people were swimming as early as May, so we were pretty much ourselves. Platis Yalos and Chrissopigi were the most popular beaches and had very soft sand. My only recommendation is to have boat tours to close islands. For example, it would be great to organize daily boat tips to Serifos or Milos or Antiparos, the three closest Cycladic islands. These boats would leave early in the morning and come back in the evening. It would be much more convenient for tourists than to take the regular ferry.
