Welcome May with a spring break on Sifnos island

Welcome May with a spring break on Sifnos island

Genuine, mysterious and romantic, the white-washed Cycladic island of Sifnos during spring time “gets dressed” with the colours of the wild flowers and invites you on a journey different from the others. On the occasion of May Day’s long weekend, choose the aristocratic Cycladic island, for endless strolls at the picturesque alleyways of Apollonia, Artemonas and Kastro (the Castle), hiking between aromatic plants that exude intoxicating aromas and above all, for a relaxing holiday. Discover the true beauty of the Cycladic landscape, away from the hot summer sun and experience the authentic Sifnos. 

Do not miss the stunning Apollonia, the capital of the island, just 6 km away from the port. Amphitheatrically built on three hills with white washed houses, gardens with bougainvilleas and narrow streets. It is one of the most beautiful capitals in the Cyclades, and certainly the most elegant and clean.

Enjoy the spring atmosphere of Artemonas, the picturesque jewel of the island, just 1,5 km. away from Apollonia. Its name testifies the worship of the goddess Artemis on the island in antiquity. The architecture will cause your admiration, while the magnificent neo-classical mansions testify their bygone power. Leave your car on the parking lot; make a stop at the central square with the few taverns. Get lost inside its picturesque streets. It is the birthplace of important men of science and arts and will tempt you to visit it daily for a dose of glamour and elegance.
