Sifnos - Cyclades

Sifnos is a typical island of Cyclades with little green, fantastic beaches and a beautiful Chora (Apollonia). It is also the birthplace of the famous Greek chef Nikos Tselementes and that is no wonder, as Sifnos has been called the island of gastronomy.

Sifnos is one of the smaller islands and there no more than a dozen beaches. This means that if you stay long enough, you will run out of places to see and beaches to go to. On the other hand, distances are short so you will not think twice about going somewhere.

Sifnos attracts refined tourism, so you will not see people going around with back-packs or young people drinking beers and being loud. It is a destination for rather classy people who are low-profile and want to have a relaxing vacation. However this does not mean that there is no nightlife and bars, but only at Apollonia.

It is quiet impressive that there is a total of 365 churches on such a small island. You will often get to see little white churches on top of mountains as you go around Sifnos.
