Overview

Exambela is one of Sifnos's quietest villages, tucked away from the island's busier coastal areas. On this self-guided walking tour, you'll explore the Agia Varvara neighbourhood through stone-paved paths where stories of poets, windmills, and ancient agricultural traditions still linger. Starting beside the Agia Varvara bus stop, you'll climb into a network of narrow lanes lined with whitewashed cubic buildings, discovering the agricultural landmarks that once sustained the community. Along the way, learn how carob seeds are forever connected to gold, spot a converted windmill, and visit the side-by-side houses of two Sifnian poets — one whose preserved home still holds his 1800s books and original desk. If you enjoy the kind of everyday detail that rarely makes it into guidebooks, this short tour is made for you.
