Sifnos

The modest size of Sifnos island makes it easy to explore. The island’s western part where the boat arrives, is barren, hiding Sifnos assets at first look, but the harbor is located in the aridest area of the island and, with a little exploration, Sifnos will reveal all its advantages and beauties to the amazed visitor: the eastern half of Sifnos is full of rich olive groves and almond trees, oleanders in the numerous valleys, hillsides covered in wild juniper, beautiful deserted beaches, dovecotes, whitewashed little Cycladic houses, whitewashed chapels, and little churches.
