Apollonia, Sifnos
The settlement of Apollonia in Sifnos
Apollonia – The heart of Sifnos
If there is one place where the heartbeat of Sifnos is strong, it's Apollonia! The island’s capital, built amphitheatrically on three hills, is the vibrant center of Sifnos, full of life from morning until night.
Morning strolls – Coffee, shopping & relaxation
If you want to experience Apollonia at a more relaxed pace, visit in the morning. The cafés serve aromatic coffees and delicious breakfasts, while the shops open their doors for those who want to shop at a leisurely pace. Strolling through the cobbled streets, you will find jewelry made by Sifnian artisans, traditional ceramics, and beautiful souvenirs.
And if you don’t know where the next alleyway will take you, don’t worry! There’s no risk of getting lost here – the only thing that will happen is that you’ll discover more sunlit courtyards, whitewashed houses, and small chapels that blend perfectly into the traditional settlement.
“The Steno” – The nightlife of Sifnos
When the sun sets, Apollonia transforms! In the famous "Steno of Apollonia," the cobbled path running through the heart of the village, everyone gathers for the nighttime stroll. Here, you will find restaurants serving local cuisine, Mediterranean and international flavors, bars with a relaxed atmosphere, and traditional cafés offering raki, tsipouro, and both classic and more refined meze dishes.
If you want a laid-back and flavorful evening, sit at one of the restaurants and enjoy your meal while watching the lively street life. But if you prefer cocktails and music, the bars of Apollonia keep their doors open until late! And to end the night? A plate of delicious loukoumades or a juicy crepe – it’s a must!
