We leave Sifnos tomorrow so this morning we hiked out to the south west harbour entrance as it was a beautiful day.
We can honestly say we have seen a lot more of the island than most tourists me thinks. On our hike up to Agios Symeon a few days back, we passed the huge landfill dump high up in the hills miles from anywhere and this morning we passed the sewerage treatment plant, we've seen it all :)
We were so hot after our hike we had a swim and then hopped on the bus back up to the hilltop village Apollonia. We planned to walk the old village paths from Apollonia to Artemonas on the hill opposite and then bus back down to Kamares Port.
Apollonia has a lot of bespoke jewellers and nifty gifty shops.
I was wondering who would buy this stuff and then tonight in Kamares Port a huge, sleek, super yacht docked with crew and security so I guess the rich and famous bob about the Greek Islands.
Lots of groovy cafe's with cute courtyards that would look so pretty at night all lit up with fairy lights.
We hit the the back lanes and began the walk to Artemonas on paths used by villagers' for centuries.
So many houses with the most abundant grape vines and stunning bougainvillea.
When we made it to Artemonas it was as busy as our last visit a few days back when we swapped buses.
So tonight is our last night in our little hotel just on the edge of Kamares Port village.
Having a view of the harbour has been great.
Sifnos is such a lovely little island. It is great they haven't introduced ATV hire bikes or jet skis...yet, I imagine it's only a matter of time. The beaches are unspoiled, stunning, the water is crystal clear, it's safe swimming and it's a quiet island - families and lots more of, shall we say, mature aged visitors :)
Sifnos, bye for now - αντίο για τώρα
