Beauty comes naturally
Sifnos is naturally stunning. Discover a dreamy East Mediterranean island, scented with herbs, olive trees and saltwater, on your yacht charter to Sifnos. The island’s blue-white backstreets look like a Greek-chic shoot from Vogue. The 75km coastline is deep navy meets amber sand, photogenic fishing boats colouring the scene. This vast island has a population of just 2,625 rendering it eco holiday heaven. A destination where you can drink from springs. And shoo lizards off Roman ruins.

Your Guide to Sifnos
Sifnos is beautiful because it struck gold 2,500 years ago. Literally so. Gold mines riddle the austerely attractive landscape. Which is best witnessed along the Sifnos Trails: 50km of fragrant paths that skirt mountains, fishing villages, working farms and olive groves. Your hand-picked Y.CO guide will lead the way to charming villages. Like Kastro for rich history. Artemonas for almond-cinnamon-honey pastries. Apollonia for home-made ouzo. The nearby island of Mykonos is several centuries removed.
Sailing made Sifnos richer still. Centuries ago, islanders setting forth on a perilous voyage pledged to build a church on their safe return. The plan worked. Today 365 white-domed churches dot the island’s moonscape interior, like radar stations on Mars. Hike or bike among them. Indiana Jones would prefer Agios Andreas church. It was built atop an 8th-century BCE settlement, which is slowly being uncovered by archeologists out front.
Island cuisine? Richer still. Greece’s first cookbook author was Nikólaos Tselementes, a chef from Sifnos. Only-eat-here dishes include revithada, an overnight baked chickpea stew, best paired with octopus and snapper. Cooking classes revolve around Sifnos ingredients visible everywhere you explore: honey, thyme, damsons, melons, free-range eggs.
Think Sifnos is handsome? Try its laid-back big brother Milos. This volcanic island has Bombay Sapphire seas. Which indent chalk white cliffs with bays, coves and jump-right-in rocks. As Milos is high and dry, your Y.CO Charter Specialist will arrange ATV quad bikes to explore its lunar-beautiful interior. Green colonisers include olives, juniper, tamarisk and strawberry trees.
