Sifnos

The modest size of Sifnos makes it easy to explore. The island's western part where the boat arrives is barren, hiding Sifnos assets at first look, but the harbour is located in the most arid area of the island and, with a little exploration, Sifnos will reveal all its advantages and beauty to the visitor. 

Sifnos – the island of Apollo is a mountainous island full of olive groves, almond trees, fragrant oleander and juniper.  Old walking paths link the picturesque white-washed villages making it an ideal destination to explore on foot.  Surprisingly green for the Cyclades, Sifnos is popular with Greeks as well as tourists – but much less crowded than some other islands.  The most striking feature about Sifnos is the many churches – there’s one for each day of the year and most only open on their special day.  Chrysopigi near Faros in the south of the island is among the most famous.
