This is my dad's favorite island I think. He has been
coming here for 20 years and has lots of friends here. I like the beach
here. It's long and shallow. We stay in the Stavros hotel. My dad took
this picture from our balcony.That little red blotch that looks kind of
like a person is me and my mom taking a walk on the beach.
This is my friend Adonis the famous potter. He lets me
help him make pottery sometimes. He had 4 little kittens that I loved to
play with.
These are the almond cookies that are famous on the island.
They are made of almonds and sugar and my parents eat them all day long.
My dad says he can live off these. They say Sifnos has the best cooks in
Greece.
This is Chrysopigi where we go to swim sometimes. It
is really an island. A long time ago some girls were running away from
some pirates and they ran here and prayed for a miracle. Suddenly there
was an earthquake and the land split and water seperated the girls from
the pirates. Then the pirates got scared and ran away.
This is Vathy where we stay sometimes. You can go by
boat or by car. When we stayed here we lived in a church with no electricity.
My dad went snorkling and caught fish every day.
Sifnos has 365 churches. They are everywhere. Some big
some small, some on the sea and some on the tops of high mountains.
Kastro is the oldest village on the island. This is the
main street. Stick close to your parents because you can easily get lost
here but it is small so they will probably find you again.
