I like to be grounded by nature, go hiking…go to an isolated island that’s not glamorous and touristy at all. ~ Cote de Pablo
The Greek island of Sifnos has beautiful beaches, great food & friendly people — but the primary reason we chose to holiday there was because of the island’s excellent walking trails. The Sifnos Trails site tells you everything you need to know for walking Sifnos and its 19 trails. The trails connect the island’s villages, with the main town of Apollonia as the center for most of the trails.
I love being in new places & hate getting there, & have been known to say on multiple occasions that I would give anything from a piece of my soul to a limb to a portion of my life savings to teleport. ~ V E Schwab
The ideal island to me is one that is a little difficult to reach. One with no cruise ships or hordes of tourists. A place where time slows and you can forget who you are. The Greek island of Sifnos is one of those islands and unless you hang with the super yacht crowd, then you will be taking a ferry to Sifnos. But fear not, it’s very easy to get to Sifnos & it’s worth the effort!
We spent a week in Greece, and no we didn’t go to Santorini…or Mykonos…or Crete…or any of those other islands that travel agencies love to promote. We went to Sifnos.
