Artemonas, Sifnos

The settlement of Artemonas in Sifnos

Artemonas, the noble village of Sifnos

If you’re looking for an elegant, atmospheric village with stately architecture, quiet alleyways, and breathtaking views, then Artemonas is the place to visit! Located just 1.5 kilometers north of Apollonia, it is truly a gem of Sifnos.

Like stepping into another era

The first thing that will impress you here is the grand mansions. Some of them have fenced gardens filled with flowers and trees, and simply wandering through the cobbled streets of the village is an experience in itself! Walk freely – every corner holds a delightful surprise.

At the top of the hill, two windmills stand, one of which has been restored and now operates as a rental accommodation. From here, the view is spectacular – you can see almost the entire island of Sifnos, Kastro, the surrounding islands, and of course, the Aegean stretching before you.

Churches with history & tradition

Panagia Kontchi, the central church of Artemonas, is believed to have been built on the site of an ancient temple dedicated to Artemis Ekvatiria, the goddess who protected travelers upon their arrival. Another notable church is Panagia tou Ammou, which houses the unique icon of the "Virgin Mary the Nun," a rare depiction of the Virgin without the Holy Infant.

The taste of Sifnos in Artemonas

Artemonas is not only beautiful but also full of flavors! Here you will find:

  • Traditional restaurants & meze taverns: Enjoy tsipouro and wine with delicious, well-crafted meze while watching the lively atmosphere of the village.
  • Hidden gems: In the quieter alleys, you’ll find restaurants with blooming courtyards, offering privacy and exquisite cuisine.
  • Sweet delights: At the beginning of the cobbled street, there is one of the oldest pastry shops in Sifnos, while in the narrow streets, you’ll find dessert shops serving loukoumades, handmade ice creams, and creative confections.

Relaxed drinks & nightlife

Artemonas also offers evening entertainment with music and a laid-back atmosphere. If you prefer something quieter than the lively nightlife of Apollonia, here you’ll find atmospheric bars with beautiful music, perfect for enjoying a refreshing drink under the starry sky.

Shopping & discoveries

Looking for a unique souvenir? In Artemonas, you’ll find shops selling art, paintings, jewelry, and decorative items—perfect for thoughtful purchases. Also, don’t miss the exhibition "Back in Our Homes", which showcases folkloric objects in a traditional Sifnian house—a little time capsule into the island’s past!

Cycladic Cuisine Festival "Nikolaos Tselementes"

If you’re in Sifnos in September, don’t miss the Cycladic Cuisine Festival held in the central square of Artemonas! Here, you can taste traditional recipes from Sifnos and other islands, watch reenactments of old crafts, enjoy music and dance performances, and experience an authentic Sifnian night!

Every year, in mid-August, a street party takes place in the narrow streets of Artemonas, with music and dancing until the early morning hours. The event is organized by RadioActive, a local radio station, and takes place right outside its studio.

Artemonas is the most aristocratic corner of Sifnos, a place that transports visitors to the past while maintaining the vibrancy of the present. If you want to see Sifnos at its most atmospheric, don’t miss it!
