Sifnos, nature and walks
Nature
The first image that you meet in Sifnos port is Kamares, is very romantic and reminds of..,a cinema scene, perhaps one of the many that have filmed in Sifnos in popular movies of short film and not only! Traditional white Cycladic houses that "lay", "look" and "invite" you to their company.
The calmness of the landscape is filled by a magic beach next to it, that invites you to jump into the greenblue waters, even if October has already said goodbye to summer! The exploration has already began...
Like mythical Nymfes with Godess Artemida that used to worship here, the beaches on the island has each one of them their own beauty and charm. You reach them in a different way either by car or through paths or via sea to enjoy something different.
Rocky beaches, golden sand and with small rocks to fulfill every preference. All of them will give you moments of relaxation with their crystal waters and the Cycladic landscape that is all around.
«Sifnos. A place that if you pass one time... you will pass again...» friends of the island writes on the internet.
This destination is on the program «Natura 2000». It is the "home" for many species under protection...
Routes
The beautiful nature of Sifnos, the traditional settlements and historical monuments are bright signs on the map of your memories.
Remains the route that will stick them together. Organised paths that are created and maintain with aim to combine the hiking experience, the companionship, the knowledge, the desire, the comfort and the facilities such as the ability to return with means of transportation. With distances that go around 4km until 14 kmΜε αποστάσεις που κυμαίνονται από 4χλμ μέχρι και 14χλμ, οι διαδρομές επιλέγονται έπειτα από μελέτη ειδικών και σύμφωνα με την εμπειρία ετών.
Ωστόσο, τα μονοπάτια δεν είναι πρόσφατη ανακάλυψη. Είναι στη φύση.... της Σίφνου και του ντόπιου πληθυσμού να δημιουργεί συνεχώς δρομάκια και διαδρομές που μεταφέρουν χωριανούς, αγαθά, ζώα και οδηγούν σε χωριά, και βοσκοτόπια. Το αποτέλεσμα είναι εντυπωσιακό. Ένα ατελείωτο δίκτυο μονοπατιών, που είναι σε αρμονία με το περιβάλλον, σε περιμένει να το ανακαλύψεις και να το απολαύσεις!
Η εξερεύνηση στη Σίφνο οδηγεί σε ανακαλύψεις, σε μικρούς και μεγάλους «θησαυρούς». Ίσως δεν είναι τυχαίο που επελέγη το νησί, ως ο τόπος των γυρισμάτων της Ελληνικής κινηματογραφικής επιτυχίας, με τίτλο, «NHSOS 2: Το κυνήγι του χαμένου θησαυρού».
