Sifnos on Google Maps.
The island of Sifnos, which is part of the Cyclades archipelago, is mainly rocky with high mountains and bays that penetrate the island forming sandy beaches. An island that thanks to the quite atmosphere, valleys covered of olive trees and fruit trees, mountains amd dozens of churches and small monasteries, is frequented by a tourism that seeks relax and corners of nature still untouched by mass tourism. An island with small villages suspended in the past with craft shops and restaurants where you can taste typical dishes. An island for a slow tourism, out of the chaos of mass tourism, discos and crowded beaches.
