5 Things to do for Honeymoon in Sifnos That You Shouldn't Miss
Sifnos (Greek: Σίφνος; the spelling Siphnos is obsolete in English but still by convention often used to refer to the island in ancient times) is an island municipality in the Cyclades island group in Greece. The main town, near the center, known as Apollonia (pop. 869), is home of the island's folklore museum and library. The town's name is thought to come from an ancient temple of Apollo on the site of the church of Panayia Yeraniofora. The second-largest town is Artemonas (800), thought to be named after an ancient temple of Apollo's sister-goddess Artemis, located at the site of the church of Panayia Kokhi. The village of Kastro (118), was the capital of the island during ancient times until 1836. It is built on top of a high cliff on the island's east shore and today has extensive medieval remains and is the location of the island's archeological museum. The port settlement, on the west coast of the island is known as Kamares (245).

Faros is a small fishermen's village in the south of Sifnos that our family instantly fell in love with. The beaches are actually three, all within easy walking distance. Faros beach lies in the center of the eponymous village, close to the little port, the restaurants and the only mini-market. Glyfo is the best of all three - with tamarisk trees shade, silky sand and crystal clear water. Fassolou is a bit further in the other direction, but no more than 7-10 minute walk. Again nice tree shade and sand. The sea bottom has some stones. Glyfo is unorganized but only 100-200 meters from civilization. There is a taverna on Fassolou and on Faros you can rent some sunbeds from Gorgona restaurant. From Glyfo you take path to the famous Panagia Chrysopigi church. All three beaches have a shower and a changing room.

Worth the visit. Sandy with beach bars that provide with drinks and shade. Also, definitely worth visiting at night, where you can order and enjoy your cocktail at the beach, or go for a night swim
