海の見える居心地の良い家族向けの伝統的な村の家（ΑΜΑ00000294156）

Being a city child from Athens I missed a place of 'origin'; I always felt a bond to this island and I wanted to become part of it, to 'adopt' it. I also feel admiration for the power of vernacular architecture which is so simple and strong in the Cyclades... one can never repeat this in a contemporary building.
The neighbourhood , where the house is situated , is a traditional village neighbourhood where very few tourists are found , except for long term house owners . It is far away from the noisy bars and stores, while still so close on foot. The locals are very friendly and discreet , as long as the renters respect their lives . Small houses are all around . But the biggest privilege of this neighbourhood is that you can walk to all the shops and restaurants of both Apollonia and Artemonas for all your needs ( food , shopping , pharmacy , tourist police , bars etc ) at all hours of the day . You can even order food or make the super market shopping and have it delivered to the house .

This house is very easy to live in ( especially charming in June or September ) because everything is in walking distance! Also, although it is in the village, it is one of the few properties which have an open view towards the nearby villages and the sea! The terrace has full privacy which is rarely found inside the villages ; there are no noisy bars nearby , yet , at the same time , the "live" spot of the island is so close by. All the pedestrian small paths are kept very clean.
You can reach Sifnos island only by boat . From here , you can easily visit other islands of the Cyclades like Serifos or Milos ( day trip back & forth ) , or Paros , Antiparos , Folegandros , Ios , Santorini etc .
Although a car cannot reach the house directly , all means of transportation are very near the house . The bus stop is not far on foot and , if you have a car , you can access the house either by the Ano Petali communal parking or by parking your car at the "Ghefyri" below ( on the street ) and then walk around 4' uphill . Coming from Apollonia or from Artemonas , there is also the option of traditional small pathways on foot.
