Sifnos Σίφνος Overview

Ships to Sifnos drop visitors at Kamares, a tiny collection of tavernas and pottery shops that overflow with celebrated Sifniot keramika (ceramics). Though the port has abundant accommodations and a pleasant strip of beach, most travelers head straight to Apollonia or to the small villages nestled on cove-like shores. Days in Sifnos are quiet, spent either lounging on the beach or hiking one of the island’s many trails, but nights often bring lively local festivals; each of the island’s 365 churches hosts an annual celebration for the entire community on its patron saint’s name day.
