Details About Sifnos

Destinations » Mediterranean » Mediterranean - Eastern » Sifnos


A surprisingly green island for the Cyclades, Sifnos offers a good variety of peace and quiet and things to do. Even though it is a popular island, both amongst Greeks and foreigners, it has kept its originality and is resisting the commercialisation many other islands have suffered.

Activities

The Museum of Ecclesiastical Art and Tradition is housed in the monastery of Panagia tis Vrysis (Our Lady of the Fountain). This museum exhibits a large number of artefacts such as handmade embroidered vestments (in particular some made by Kassiani), holy vessels, parchments, manuscripts, silver reliquaries, codices, old publications of the Gospels and various beautiful icons. The Archaeological Museum is located in the beautiful medieval village of Kastro and it is housed in a fine two-storey traditional building belonging to the medieval heritage of Kastro, donated by the Academician Maridakis to the Ministry of Culture which restored it in 1980. The museum opened in 1986. The museum has been extended to house findings from the Mycenaean acropolis of Agios.
