The Maro lies at a distance of 1.5 km from Sifnos’ ancient capital, Kastro, opening to views of the picturesque settlement, the Sifnian scenery that surrounds it, the sea blue and neighbouring Cycladic islands.

A brief tour

of Kastro

Kastro

Kastro is a beautiful village that lies on the eastern side of Sifnos. It is renowned for its medieval architecture and tight cobbled alleys that lead to houses of colourful doors and windows.

Through the alleys

The village wears its history on its every corner, brimming with ancient sights and scenic chapels. The sea view from Kastro is dazzling, while the tight alleys cutting through houses that are painted all-white and adorned with flowerbeds, make for a truly magical atmosphere.

7 Martyrs

A broad flight of cobbled stairs leads to the 7 Martyrs, a picturesque and charming small white chapel with a blue dome. It appears to be dangling on the edge of the rocks while offering a dazzling panoramic view of the blue sea and the surrounding rocky scenery.

Seralia

The cobbled steps that start at Kastro lead, in just 5 minutes, to Seralia beach, renowned for its crystal clear waters and serene setting. The natural beauty and sea colours dominate the area; the spot is suitable for those who are after a close encounter with nature and not a fan of the organised beach lifestyle.
