8Sifnos (Cyclades)

Sifnos is one of the many Cycladic islands we love. The white cube-shaped houses topped with blue domes, the intense red of the bougainvillea hugging the towns, and a gentle breeze courtesy of the Meltemi.

In Sifnos you can learn the art of ceramics in one of the many laboratories scattered on the pier of Livadia (the main port), you can ascend the long set of stairs to reach the island’s monastery and its breathtaking view, you can go shopping in one of Apollonia’s beautiful craft jewelry boutiques, or you can discover one of the smaller villages of the island – like Vathi, that looks like it’s from a postcard, and where it is unforgettable to arrive by boat!
