Cheronissos
Χερρόνησος
A small fishing village in a narrow fjord-like bay at Sifnos's northernmost tip, remote and peaceful, with traditional pottery workshops and seafood tavernas.
Cheronissos lies at the northernmost tip of Sifnos, where a narrow bay reaches deep into the hills. The village has only a few households, a fishing boat quay and one or two seafood tavernas. It is one of the birthplaces of traditional pottery, and potters still throw and fire clay in their workshops here. The mountain roads along the way pass through a bleak, open landscape. The village is about 25 minutes' drive from Apollonia, with a few buses in summer.
