Another island in the sun


Not sure which one Demi's Roussos was referring to but Sifnos is starting out as a good contender.  

We said farewell to Serifos after a final lunch on the balcony and caught the high speed ferry over to Sifnos, the island which has appeared ghost-like on the horizon in earlier photos.  


The trip took about 30 minutes which we spent on deck.  As we approached the island we steered into a wide natural bay and docked with the precision of a Formula 1 pit stop discharging passengers, freight and cars, loading up a new lot and heading back out in little more than 5 minutes.

We were met by George who took us round the bay to his hotel where we were welcomed with his father's home-made wine and olives.  

A 20 minute stroll took us back into Kamares where there is a wide selection of restaurants and cafes all set along the waterfront.


Now relaxing in our room /balcony looking out onto the endlessly blue Aegean Sea and contemplating options for our first evening in Sifnos.
