SIFNOS
Sifnos is my favorite Greek island visited to date, despite the unusual rain throughout our September visit — a testament to it’s charm! Sifnos attracts an international crowd off the tourist circuit and is known for it’s outstanding dining scene, hiking trails, pottery, chick peas and gorgeous coves.
