Luxury Villas in Sifnos

A luxury villa in Sifnos is perfect for those seeking a slow Greek escape, on an island of ancient villages and undiscovered shores.

Luxury Villas in Sifnos

Sifnos isn’t one of the A-lister Cyclades Islands. Content to leave the spotlight to Santorini, Mykonos, and others, it’s beset by nature and rolls to the slow rhythms of the Greek Aegean, which washes it on all sides. Most of all, the isle is a sanctuary for those yearning for a blend of authentic Greek culture and understated luxury. There are white-painted villages clutching its sepia-toned hillsides, and bays of inky blue below them. There are also some seriously luxurious holiday rentals in Sifnos that bring five-star service to the pine-cloaked isle.

Apollonia, the island’s capital, is a labyrinth of narrow, winding streets flanked by elegant boutiques, artisan workshops, and chic cafés. By night, the town comes alive with an electrifying yet sophisticated vibrancy. Savour exquisite local cuisine in its gourmet tavernas and taste volcanic-grown wines from the greater region in piazza-side bars.

Sifnos is an island steeped in history. Perched on a rocky promontory surrounded by gleaming saltwater on three sides, the Chrissopigi Monastery is an emblem of Sifnian spiritual heritage. The elegance of the whitewashed chapel against the backdrop of the endless marine blue is an unparalleled sight, making it a haven for both contemplation and photography. Inside, there are sombre Orthodox chapels that date back more than 400 years.

Time has also stood still in the come-get-lost-in-me village of Kastro. The onetime ancient capital of Sifnos, it’s alive with fortified walls and Venetian architecture. Stroll through its winding, weaving alleys and happen upon panoramic views of the Aegean every now and then. Along the shoreline below, it’s Vathi Beach that steals the show. Ringed by a halo of whitewashed Cycladean buildings, it’s great for snorkelling in wild reefs and enjoying long lunches in the local seafood kitchens.

The thing about this island is that it’s got no pretensions. You won’t find the booming crowds of sun-seekers and sightseers you get on other isles in the Aegean here. What you will find is nostalgic hamlets in the mountains and beaches set to the sound of lapping waves, making Sifnos an idyllic setting for a luxury villa holiday.
