Hello everyone! I am Anna. Through our wanderings we discover the real Sifnos. " Its architecture and smells. Its history and legends. Its culture and traditions. Its landscapes and nature. Its traditional villages and stunning bays. Its turquoise crystal clear waters. I created these hikes for travellers who love exploring, love nature and wish to experience the 'real' Sifnos! I wish to share the beauty and culture of our island with you in a pleasant, unforgettable way. I was born in a small village in North Greece but I was always dreaming of moving to the Greek islands. So, I started to visit them in order to find my paradise! That's when I discovered the island of Sifnos! The second time I visited the island in 1998 I decided to stay. It became my home, my island. I started working as a chef and in order to gather and explore the island's herbs and spices I started wandering around the island's ancient paths and mountains. So I came to know the "real" Sifnos, with its innumerable trails and kilometers of dry stone walls, olive groves, mastic, cedar trees and the protected ''Natura 2000'' areas which are rich in flora and fauna. So, I quit cooking and started walking by paved and unpaved paths daily, that lead me to hundreds of chapels, ancient towers and mountain peaks with breathtaking views! My dream is to guide and introduce visitors to the island's natural beauty and its people, who have kept me here for the last 24 years. Create your own walking tour around Sifnos! Tell me your interests, your views, your desires. Follow your instincts and rhythm. Help me plan the ideal walking trail just for you, regardless of age and experience! My favourite saying is: "Sifnos is its walking paths, and its walking paths are Sifnos!" ·10 years Guiding Experience (there's more than 500 excursions within my experience) ·First Aid courses ·I am member of Hellenic Ornithological Society. (Relevant may we have the opportunity for bird watching during our walks) ·Kindergarten Teacher Degree The tours I offer only include visits to places of natural interest In case of heatwave (mainly in July-August) we must start our tour early in the morning. I am not a driver. I arrange a Taxi, to drive you to our meeting point.

We'll wander across the picturesque narrow alleys of the village of Exambela and appreciate the traditional Cycladic architecture. . . its white washed houses with courtyards full of colorful Bougainvilleas (flowery plant!) climbing the houses' walls, offering their beautiful shade to local residents. You'll also visit the ruins of an ancient tower, which during ancient times used to be very powerful. In addition to this we'll pay a visit to ''Moni tis vrisis''. This is the biggest of all monasteries in Sifnos, which dates back to 16th century. You will be fascinated by its unique architecture which is reminiscent of a castle! You'll also enjoy the vastness of the sea while walking among olive groves, paths covered with thyme and various herbs. The view of the medieval Kastro village which appears to emerge from the sea is breathtaking.
A taxi will drive you to the starting point of our walk at the center of Apollonia, the capital of Sifnos. I will be there waiting for you! -We will depart from Apollonia for our circular walk. -On our way, we will cross the beautiful traditional settlement of Exambela to continue our walk down narrow alleys leading to colorful courtyards with bougainvilleas. -We will get a glimpse into the daily life of the locals. The smells of basil, lemon trees, and jasmine will accompany us throughout the duration of our stroll in the village! -We'll stop at the ''Moni tis vrisis'' to admire its special architecture and feel the peaceful atmosphere! -We'll continue walking through olive groves and rural houses to reach the picturesque village of Kato Petali which is not touristy at all! -After a short path through vineyards, farmlands and pigeon houses we will reach Apollonia once again, thereby ending our short walk.
