6Sifnos
Sifnos combines authenticity with elegance in a way few islands manage. Known for its long culinary tradition, the island is considered one of the gastronomic capitals of the Cyclades — but without losing its village soul.
Family recipes are still cooked in traditional clay pots, and many tavernas source ingredients from their own gardens. Walking through villages like Artemonas and Kastro feels like stepping into everyday island life, where bougainvillea-covered courtyards hide homes passed down through generations.
Sifnos also retains strong religious traditions, with dozens of small chapels scattered across the landscape. Local festivals remain intimate community gatherings, where visitors are often invited to join — not as spectators, but as guests.
