Sarakiniko from the Sea and Sifnos in Afternoon

We left our spot in Adamas Bay this morning and spent a few hours exploring Sarakiniko from the water side.  We went in Zodiak dinghies to visit shallow caves.  It was a beautiful day and the colors of the sea were magnificent!  

After lunch on the ship, we motored to the island of Sifnos by 16h00, stopping in the port village of Kamares, and promptly went on a bus tour of the island.  We visited the Monastery of Chrysopigi, the island’s most famous religious site.  We then traveled to the village of Apollonia and took a walk along the stone paved streets.  Our last stop was in the medieval village of Kastro, dating back 5000 years, with most of the current buildings built under Venetian rule in the 14th century.  We walked out to the Church of the Seven Martyrs, located on a rocky outcrop in the Aegean.  We were amazed along the drive at the miles of terraced stone walls on the hills of Sifnos.  We ended our day with ice cream and a crepe in Kamares.
