Discovering Sifnos: Apollonia and Surroundings (Greece)

In the core of the Aegan ocean lies a shrouded diamond of the Cyclades, which I happened to "find" by a total possibility. Sifnos joins the staggering excellence of the white Cycladic towns with an agreeable neighborhood vibe, sandy shorelines and a fun, tasteful nightlife. 

Apollonia

Apollonia, the capital of the island, is encompassed by a gathering of small towns scattered among the slopes – every one of them inside a mobile separation from each other. At to start with, Apollonia doesn't appear to have much to offer aside from a couple of stores and eateries lined along the principle street, however don't be tricked! Take a right into a little rear way past the Main Square and you will wind up in Steno. 

The region, agreed with whitewashed structures common for the Cycladic engineering, is loaded with bars and eateries. 

It likewise has an extraordinary decision of adornments and garments stores, the majority of them offering nearby items. Steno has a fabulous time vibe and remains quintessentially Greek – it additionally has a slight Mykonos feel to it while being substantially more casual and less touristy. One of my most loved stores in Steno was PLEIADES Jewelry. Georgios, the proprietor of the place, bases a ton of his outlines on the old Greek adornments. 

Kastro 

The old town of Kastro, sat over a stone sitting above the Aegan ocean, has an interesting environment which will take you back to the seasons of the old Sifnos. 

The thin cleared lanes with low stone seats, wandering aimlessly like a maze, old columns and Roman marble urns mapping out the most established verifiable stays of the city, and the most shocking of everything – the little church of Epta Martyres ("the Seven Martyrs") roosted over a little slope, apparently gliding on the purplish blue ocean… you will feel like you're inside a tall tale. 

Artemonas 

Getting to Artemona is a significant walk in the event that you need to arrive by walking, as you have to stroll up the slope, going by littler towns en route. 

The little backstreets of Artemonas aren't shy of appeal , yet it's the old manors which make the town one of a kind.
