| Come stay at Maki's
Studios and enjoy a quaint atmosphere with newly renovated rooms, each
with complete kitchenette, bathroom, TV, air conditioning and veranda.
Within a short walk, you will find the beautiful sandy beach of Platys
Gialos, with its many fine restaurants and pottery shops. You may also
take advantage of the excellent bus service to other parts of the island.
The beach is located at a distance of 90m from the studios and within
a 10 minute drive from Apollonia and it is easily accessible by car or
motorbike. It is one of the favotite holiday spots.
Sifnos was considered to be the ancient God Apollo's island. The capital
"Apollonia" was named after the god. The ancient historian Herodotus
refers to Sifnians as the richest islanders. One of the reasons would
be the fact that Sifnos produced, among other metals, gold and silver.
There were Sifnian coins before the Athenian and the Corinthian ones existed.
The Sifnians built a good part of the temple of Apollo in Delphi and since
then they started sending one golden egg every year. The authentic Greek
cook book was written by a Sifnian. Sifnians are very proud of their cooking.
At the church festivals, where everyone is welcome, the authentic Sifnian
dishes and as much wine as you can drink are completely free. It is an
honour to a Sifnian to sponsor a church festival. There are pottery shops
throughout the island where you can actually see pottery making and ceramics
painting. Hiking just about anywhere, you will be surrounded by the so
advertised Greek oreganon, thyme and, as the Europeans call it Greek tea
(fascomilo). Rub your hands on their leaves and smell the aroma. In the
archaeological museum in the town of Castro among other findings you will
notice glass containers found at a nearby location where a Roman cemetery
existed. |
