SIFNOS

Sifnos is an island with a lot of choicesIt has some picturesque villages and some nice beaches. Apollonia and Artemonas the two main villages of Sifnos are very picturesque and with nice small sweet and coffee shops. Kastro village has an astonishing view, while Kamares (the port) as well as Platis Gyalos are the main villages with  nice beaches. Sifnos has a lot of churches, Chrissopigi is the most famous one!

Where to stay: We stayed at Evdokias Studios at Platy Gialos. We always stay there. They are quiet, not expensive, with perfect view and very clean.

Where to eat: Everywhere in Sifnos you may eat excellent food. We really enjoyed the small tavernas at Fasolou and Apokofto beach.

Where to swim: Platys Gialos, Vathi, Apokofto, Faros, Fasolou and Kamares are the main sandy beaches of Sifnos. However, you may choose to swim next to Chryssopigi Church where you may dive from the rocks. The sea is crystal clear there. Lazarou beach next to Platys Gialos is also very nice where you dive from the beach bar.

Where to drink:  Apollonia is full of bars. Cosi is one of the options there but you never stay in one. Platis Gyalos has some beach bars as well but the ultimate bar is Cavos at Kastro.
