SIFNOS ΣΙΦΝΟΣ
POP 2570
Sifnos has an exquisite dreamlike quality. A string of three whitewashed villages,
anchored by the capital Apollonia, sit like pearls along the crest of the island. The chan-
ging light kisses the landscape and as you explore the flanking slopes of the central
mountains you'll discover abundant terraced olive groves, almond trees, oleander and
aromatic herbs. Each of the island's bays harbours a spectrum of aqua waters, and offers
breathtaking vistas.
Unspoiled footpaths link villages, such as the one encircling tiny hilltop Kastro. Get

During the Archaic period (from about the 8th century BC), Sifnos was enriched by its
gold and silver deposits, but by the 5th century BC the mines were exhausted. Sifnos is
now known for pottery, basket weaving and cookery. The island hibernates October to
Easter (most hotels and restaurants close) and in high season it attracts the chic set (book
ahead). Visit
