GREEK ISLANDS - GREECE Sifnos Island
Sifnos has beautiful traditional villages, organized or secluded beaches, and 200+ churches spread around the island are waiting to be discovered.
Apollonia, the capital town of Sinos (also called Hora), is built in the shape of an amphitheatre over three hills in the centre of the island. The narrow streets and the whitewashed houses of Hora are very charming with many bars and restaurants. A few kilometers away from Apollonia lies the traditional settlement of Artemonas, famous for its neoclassic mansions and its outstanding panoramic view of the island. Don't forget to visit Kastro (means castle), located on an abrupt rock with a breathtaking view of the sea. It is one of the most picturesque villages in the island with its old houses with wooden balconies.
