Chora and the white villages -within an arm's length from each other- connect through paths. Exploring and strolling around then is one of the delights which this island offers.

An attractive road from the port of Kamares - a modern town with pottery workshops - brings us to
the island's capital, Apolonia. Standing on three hillsides, with its typical Cycladic architecture, it is breathtakingly beautiful.

The houses as most of Sifnos villages are build very close to each other as there is luck of space. Beautiful small paths leads you to the remote places. All the paths are laid with stones are kept very clean and painted.
The architecture of Apollonia is an old assemblage in which walls, terraces, courtyards and alleyways form large cubes in a continuous complex, in total harmony with the natural
environment.

The sole exception to this is the old capital of Kastro, which remains an example of medieval town planning. A collection of Archaic and Hellenistic sculpture and of ceramics from the Geometric to the Byzantine period is on display in the Archaeological Museum of the island.
The village of Artemonas is situated at the north of Apollonia (2km). Here you can find the most beautiful houses of Sifnos island and is a must to walk through all the village. Is the less spoiled
place of Sifnos with not access to cars. Not a sea view but not to much wind also. Here you will
find a large part of Sifnos population and you can feel the atmosphere of old Sifnos.

Picturesque windmills surrender their sails to the vagaries of the wind, while no fewer than 365 churches and chapels sprout all over the island like white mushrooms from the grey carpet of the island's terrain.
Whether you stay on the coast or in the interior of the island, memorable holidays in Sifnos are guaranteed. Be sure you will back again next year...
