Tips for the Santorini–Sifnos Ferry
- Island-hopping in May or June means you can often be spontaneous about your next destination – flexibility that is simply not possible in August.
- On high-speed catamarans, seating is assigned; on conventional ferries it is often open plan – boarding early gives you the best choice of seats.
- Once you arrive in Sifnos, the island’s reputation for exceptional food – rooted in a centuries-old pottery and cooking tradition – is upheld by the tavernas in the attractive villages of Apollonia, Artemonas, and the hilltop Kastro. The Church of the Seven Martyrs, perched on a rocky promontory above the sea, is one of the most photographed sights in the Cyclades.
