ABOUT SIFNOS GREECE
Sifnos belongs to the Cyclades islands group and sits in the heart of the Aegean Sea, close to Milos and Serifos.
Boasting the traditional Cycladic architecture, Sifnos island is dotted with cubic whitewashed houses, over 300 (!) beautiful churches, dovecotes, and little earthenware shops.
The island oozes a fairytale charm that makes it feel like it’s a world away from the mainland!
In addition to its long tradition in pottery, the island is famous for its gastronomy! The motherland of the famous Greek chef Nikolaos Tselementes, Sifnos has undoubtedly amazing food! No visitor should skip trying the palatable local recipes, such as capper salad, chickpea soup, and mastelo at one of the island's excellent restaurants and taverns.
Visiting the quaint villages is essential, especially if you want to experience the essence of the island. Kastro, Artemonas and the capital town Apollonia are total musts; get lost in the narrow alleys of Kastro, eat the best local pastries in Artemonas and have a taste of the cosmopolitan side of the island in Apollonia… Every village is unique!
And what can we say about the island's beaches? Their beauty is unreal! Escape the summer heat and dip in the waters of Apokofto (lying under the whitewashed Chrissopigi Monastery) the cosmopolitan Platis Gialos, or the sandy Vathi beach, where a tasty seafood meal can succeed your swim and sunbathing!
Ideal for families and couples, Sifnos is one of the best holiday destinations to relax and recharge your batteries!
