Sifnos is a unique island of high aesthetics, warm hospitality and upscale ambiance. The island is very popular amongst Greek and international visitors, usually above the age of 30, so do not expect crazy nightlife. The majority of visitors are well travelled, with high economic and social status and enjoy the good life.

Sifnos is the birthplace of Tselementes, a famous Greek chef. The island boasts an exquisite local cuisine. The most famous dish is “mastelo” (lamb) served in almost every traditional tavern. Try the mastelo served in Okyalos (Apollonia) and in Lembesis (Panagia Chryssopigi).

Of all the beaches, Kamares is by far the best. There is ample parking space in several locations; the water is shallow,warm and crystal clear and the golden sand is always sparkling under the hot sun! The waters are especially warm after 2pm. It’s never windy, because the port is naturally protected and surrounded by high mountains and it has tens of tamarisks that offer a much needed shade! If you prefer an organized beach, seek for an umbrella and a sun-bed at the very end, close to the main road that starts from the port towards Apollonia and the rest of the island’s villages.
