Sifnos is a beautiful, authentic island of the Cyclades group with
many beautiful mountainous landscapes, sandy beaches, picturesque villages and
harbours. The 2,000 inhabitants of the island are employed in agriculture,
stock-breeding, fishing and, to a lesser degree, mining, as the once rich mines
are not in use today.
The islanders are hospitable, honest, quiet people always eager to satisfy
the needs of their visitors.
Sifnos has a Mediterranean climate with sunshine all the year round. Its
northern winds blow almost daily from the middle of July to the middle of August
offering a cool respite to the hot summer sun.
