Sifnos: the culinary capital of the Cyclades.
Every Greek island feeds you well, but Sifnos has turned it into something of an art form.
This is the birthplace of Nikolaos Tselementes, one of Greece’s most influential cooks, and an island where food remains deeply connected to tradition. Chickpeas bake slowly overnight in clay pots for Sunday lunch, local capers and honey find their way onto the table, and village bakeries fill with the scent of almond and orange blossom.Â
Then there are the places to eat: farm-to-table lunches at Narlis Farm, fresh fish by the water at Platys Gialos, and tavernas where recipes have changed very little over generations. Between meals, there are old stone footpaths to walk, whitewashed villages to wander and hidden coves for a swim.Â
Our latest Journal is a guide to eating your way around Sifnos, from revithada and mastelo to the restaurants, villages and traditions that have earned this little Cycladic island its culinary reputation.
