Tips for the Folegandros–Sifnos Ferry
- Pack a portable power bank rated at least 10,000 mAh. Charging points on board are not always available or working, and on the smaller Cycladic islands power cuts can occasionally catch you out.
- The western Cyclades sit squarely in the path of the meltemi, the strong northerly wind that dominates the Aegean in summer. Unlike the Dodecanese, which are sheltered by the Turkish coastline, islands such as Folegandros and Sifnos are fully exposed – a relevant consideration when planning a summer crossing.
- Once you step off the ferry at Sifnos, you are on an island with a serious food culture. The tradition of cookery here stretches back centuries – rooted in a long history of pottery and communal cooking – and it shows in the tavernas of Apollonia, Artemonas, and the hilltop village of Kastro. Make time to visit the Church of the Seven Martyrs, perched on a rocky promontory above the sea and one of the most photographed sights in the Cyclades.
