SIFNOS Villas

Home to the stunning 17th-century whitewashed Chrysopigi Monastery built on the site of an ancient church to take advantage of breathtaking sea views, the island of Sifnos in the Cyclades group of islands is a haven for tourists looking for tranquil vistas and rich Grecian culture among its three whitewashed villages. Mined for gold and silver in the 8th century BC, Sifnos offers memories of merchant trades long past, while boasting modern hotels and restaurants to cater to the chic crowd it attracts.
