The old capital on a cliff: marble alleys, Venetian walls and the church of Eptamartyres on the rock below.
Perched a hundred metres above the sea, Kastro was the capital of Sifnos until 1836. Inside the old walls the houses press together into a defensive ring, with marble balconies hanging over alleys barely wide enough for two people.
