Sifnos
Sifnos is a traditional island with some modern influences. You can enjoy relaxing beaches and cultural facilities as well as a lively nightlife. So either you enjoy the beautiful coastal stretches or you set out and explore the surroundings with a hike. Along the way you will have the opportunity to see small villages and taste the food of the locals. Apollonia is the capital of the island and offers besides small alleys also an intense nightlife. By the way, a visit to one of the numerous pottery workshops is also worthwhile - because this craft has a tradition here and you can learn a lot of interesting facts about it during a tour.
The ferry port on the island of Sifnos offers connections to the other Greek islands of Andros, Sikinos, Thira, Koufonissi, Paros, Tinos, Folegandros, Ios, Amorgos, Mykonos, Serifos, Milos, Kythnos, Kimolos, Syros and Naxos, as well as to the ferry port of Piraeus on the Greek mainland.

Naxos
The largest island in the Cyclades, Naxos, is located a good 30 kilometers south of Mykonos in the Aegean Sea. It is separated from its western neighbor island Paros only by a strait about six kilometers wide. In the east, the shores are very steep, while towards the west the land turns into a large plain. From north-northeast to south-southwest runs a mountain ridge with Mount Zas (also Zeus or Oxia) roughly in the center. These are imposingly steep granite cliffs. The gorges are mostly strikingly green and the villages shine in bright white in the sunlight. You should also look for the ancient ruins on this island.
Naxos is inhabited by about 18,000 people. Many of them live in the port town of Naxos in the flat west of the island. Here the ferries arrive or depart and you can see the bustle of the fishing boats, but also the pleasure craft. Naxos is the seat or rather the diocese of the Greek Orthodox bishop of Naxos-Paros.
The ferry port on the island of Naxos offers connections to the other Greek islands of Donoussa, Tinos, Folegandros, Amorgos, Mykonos, Kimolos, Thira, Thirasia, Paros, Ios, Milos, Kythnos, Crete, Syros, Schinoussa, Astypalea, Sikinos, Koufonissi, Kea, Iraklia, Sifnos and Anafi, as well as to the ports of Piraeus, Rafina and Lavrio on the Greek mainland.
