The main attractions on Sifnos are undoubtedly the village of
Kastro, and the beautiful and
hiking friendly landscape. The monastery of Chrisopigi is also
an important sight. Other attractions include the Venetian dovecotes
and the old defence towers as you see all around. It is said that there
are around 10 defence towers on the island. Unfortunately, almost all
the towers are destroyed, often they lie in ruins.
There are also some interesting caves for those who like the underworld.
One is located above the port of Kamares,
another along the road to Vathy, just after the church of Agios Andreas.
The latter cave is called Spiliafarango and is well signposted
from the road. Bring a torch if you're going to enter the cave. Anyone
who likes monasteries, churches and chapels have a lot to revel in.
