The island of Sifnos | Σίφνος Διαμονή
Sifnos Island is a modest island of approximately 35 sq. miles, which has a human population of around 2,200 and is set within the Western Cyclades. Lived on since fairly early times, The island of Sifnos's prevailing claim to fame and fortune inside of the historic world had been because of its precious metals mines on account of which the island had become regarded during the sixth century BCE as among the most thriving locations in Greece. This influence was shown in the Treasury for the Siphnians at Delphi that has been reputed to be among the most opulent structures found at the shrine; its footings may still be viewed there in modern times. The Ancient Greek historian Pausanias details that the island's silver and gold mines were actually destroyed during an earthquake created by the Greek God Apollo because of the fact that the residents of Sifnos, from greed, dispatched as homage to Delphi a gilded gold egg instead of the solid gold egg they had as a rule dispatched before. By Hellenistic times, the Sifnos Island golden age had gone by, and their pursuing historical past is subsumed in the overall historical background from the Cyclades Islands.
Within the geography and climate Sifnos Island is divided naturally in 2 parts, the western part, being bare and rugged, while the eastern side, that a large amount of travelers and tourists find more enjoyable, features fairly more easy terrain and is more green. Despite having escalating tourism the island maintains its timeless atmosphere.
Sifnos by boat | Sifnos Beach Hotels
Daily or nearly daily catamaran and steamship ferries connect Sifnos Island with the port of Piraeus through the high season (the journey usually requires almost 5 hours using steamship, about one half that if taking fast boat). During summertime, Saturdays and Sundays, plus holidays, a number of the fast catamaran can sell out, so if you're preparing to go during these times you may want to get a ticket ahead of time. During summertime you'll find buses every hour or two from Kamares to a lot of other places on the island. Additionally, there are taxicabs lingering each time ferries arrive, though in some cases these can fill up. Some hotels supply transfers coming from the port at costs which might be anything from no cost to higher than a taxi cab; if curious, ask your accommodations when you reserve.
Sifnos by airplane | Σίφνος Ξενοδοχεία
The island of Sifnos doesn't have an airport of its own. If you desire to go by airplane, fly to nearby Milos and grab the boat to the island of Sifnos after that.
Traveling on the Island | Hotels Sifnos
The island of Sifnos is considered among the easier Greek islands to travel around with or without using a car. Roads are generally fine. The conveniently frequent and well-performing bus system runs nearly all spots the visitor would want, and cabs are easily available with low-cost fixed rates between areas. Sifnos is small enough, which means that walking will usually get you to anywhere that you choose to go provided that you are able to manage the hills. On the other hand during the summer season it is important to carry drinking water and steer clear of the heat through the day, considering that as with the majority of Cycladic islands there is little shade.
