A small stroll
in the Kastro
The Kastro of Sifnos: a journey through time
The Kastro (Castle), one of the most charming and historic settlements of the Cyclades, captivates every visitor. Built on a rocky hill overlooking the endless blue of the Aegean, it retains its medieval identity, offering a unique experience of wandering through its narrow, paved alleys.
Exploring the alleys
The exploration begins from the famous "loggias," the stone-arched entrances of the settlement, which once served as gates and fortification elements. Walking through the alleys, you will see old houses with integrated ancient elements, small squares, and picturesque cafés inviting visitors to stop for a refreshing coffee.
The Seven Martyrs: the most romantic chapel
One of the most photographed spots in the Kastro is the chapel of the Seven Martyrs, built on a rock that seems to hover above the Aegean. The walk there, especially at sunset, is an experience not to be missed.
Seralia: the peaceful little port of Kastro
Descending from Kastro towards the sea, you will find the small, peaceful area of Seralia. This picturesque harbor, once the ancient port of Sifnos, is now an ideal destination for those seeking tranquility by the waves.
