Villages adorning whitewashed houses, tropical foliage decorating the rugged landscape and a plethora of charming restaurants serving sumptuous seafood – Sifnos is unashamedly Greek. The exponential growth of tourism over the past decade has hacked away at the authenticity of the architecture and culture, though the Mediterranean character remains forever embedded in Sifnos’ DNA. A selection of clubs and bars have attracted a constant stream of young people who flock to the island each summer to enjoy the cheap alcohol and lively music scene. The influx of youngsters has prompted the island to become a popular retreat for anyone hoping to dance until the early hours of the morning, but a family atmosphere still rings around the villages. Quaint cafes and welcoming restaurants appeal to people of all ages, and the golden sands next to deep blue waters resemble a paradise for every type of visitor. Vathi Beach is perhaps the standout among a myriad of beaches along the coast, enticing visitors with the inviting image of luxury yachts in the horizon that can be enjoyed under the natural shade provided by the collection of trees.

Primarily known as a ferry hub, Paros has remained under the radar among the hype of other popular Greek holiday destinations.

The shoreline is constructed of unique rock formations and golden sands; Kolymbithres Beach is perhaps the most aesthetically interesting area across the coast, which provides unmatched views of the endless azure blue seas engulfing the smaller neighbouring islands. Away from the waters, myriad of historical and cultural sites are dotted about the island, providing a fascinating insight into the history of Paros. Panayia Ekatondapiliani Cathedral is typically at the top of the itinerary for most tourists, and for an extended look at the archaic architecture, head to Parikia Town which is host to many cultural landmarks.
