The island of Sifnos in the Western Cyclades Islands is the place I always return to each visit to Greece.
It has been ‘discovered’ relatively lately, but has rapidly blossomed into a burgeoning tourist destination.
However, it retains its original Greek village life, authentic Cyclades charm and unspoilt landscape of terraced
fields. Sifnos has small but vibrant villages, great trekking trails, authentic Greek cuisine, child-friendly beaches,
crystal waters, whitewashed churches and flagstone alleyways in age-old villages. I have divided my Sifnos pictures
into three pages. This page shows the port of Kamares, the unique ceramics of the island, Kamares beach,
whitewashed churches, and vistas over the fields. The tiny hillside town of Kastro is a Greek must-see, its
Venetian influence obvious in its ancient walled alleyways and whitewashed houses. There are some fantastic
tavernas here with views to die for over the terraced fields. Far below is Seralia pebble beach, and the tiny
Church of the Seven Martyrs way out on its rock .
