Sifnos Local Products

Sifnos Traditional cuisine

The cuisine in Sifnos is exquisite as in most Greek islands. Don't leave the island without tasting the excellent revithokeftedes (chick-pea balls), kaparosalata (caper salad), ampelofasoula skordalia (string beans with a special garlic spread), mastelo and other cheeses.

Honey

It is famous for its quality, aroma and exquisite taste that it owes to the island's thyme. Taste it and buy some for home. I regretted to have bought only one jar.

 

Sifnos Homemade cheeses

Their quality is excellent! You should definitely taste the xinomyzithra which usually accompanies salads, chloromanoura the basic ingredient for honey pies and the spicy manoura with the exquisite taste.

 

Herbs

In Sifnos you will find many herbs that you can either boil and drink as a refreshment, such chamomile and marjoram, you can use oregano and savory to spice up your cooking, or caper to add in your salads for extra flavor and aroma.

Sifnos Sweets

Now regarding the sweets that the island is known for, taste the delicious honey pies, amigdalota (almond toffees), biscuits from local bakeries, delights and bourekia (pasty) and you won't regret it.
