Sifnos is known as the island of flavours, with unique traditional villages, organized or secluded beaches, and 227 churches spread around the island is just waiting for you to discover it. Sífnos is the centre of pottery in the Cyclades since the first samples that were found here are dated back to the Early Cycladic period. The island’s clayey soil in combination with the continuous sunshine resulted in the development of the art of pottery on the island.

A few kilometers away from the town lies the traditional settlement of Artemónas, famous for its neoclassic mansions and its outstanding panoramic view of the island. Some of the most famous restaurants and patisseries of Sifnos will welcome you here with fresh homemade cookies and hot doughnuts. Don’t miss the chance to visit the historic settlement of Kastro (meaning “castle”), inhabited since ancient times. Kastro is built over the ruins of ancient Sífnos, on an abrupt rock with a breathtaking view of the sea.

Whether cosmopolitan or secluded, all the beaches in Sífnos offer to the sun-loving tourists azure waters and sun-drenched sandy beaches. Kamáres, the port of the island, is a sandy beach with trees and beach bars; Platís Yialós is the most cosmopolitan and buzzing beach in the island, whereas next to it lies Vathí, a sandy beach with shallow waters and many tavernas where you can enjoy fresh fish. The rocks in Chrisopigí, where also the homonymous Monastery proudly stands, are ideal for diving. If you’d like to rest under a cool shade, head to the next beach which is surrounded by salt water loving trees. If you find yourself in Kástro, follow down the path to “Eptá Mártyres”, and enjoy a leisurely swim or unwind with a book lazing on a sun lounger.

Over the last years, Sifnos has developed an intense nightlife. You can enjoy a drink or a cocktail in Apollonia, the capital of the island. The bars are open ’till the early hours, while bars in Kastro are mostly lounge and ideal for a romantic night out. Some beach bars on the southern side of the island also stay open till after midnight, organizing few beach parties.
