Best Beaches in Sifnos — Real-Time Wind Conditions

Swimming in Sifnos

Sifnos is famous for its cuisine and pottery, but its beaches deserve equal billing. The island's coastline offers a mix of sandy bays and rocky coves, with several well-protected spots on the south and west coasts that stay swimmable throughout the Meltemi season.

The island sits in the western Cyclades, catching moderate Meltemi winds. Its beaches range from organised and family-friendly to remote and wild, and the island's excellent restaurant scene means you're never far from a good meal after a swim.

Swimming is best from June to September. Sifnos combines great beaches with the best food in the Cyclades — spend the morning swimming and the afternoon eating, and you'll understand why people return year after year.

Swimming season: June to September
