Third day
6.09.2019, Friday
Plans:
- to rent scooters
- to drive around the island
Practical information:
There are lots of footpaths on Sifnos, great to explore the island on foot. Also buses.
Maybe scooters only for one day. One beach is not accessible by public transport.
What happened?
We had a lazy late morning, then took a bus to the center Apollonia (1€ each). We shopped a bit - postcards, stamps and fridge magnets.
Went to three different car rentals and the news was not good. Apparently you need motorcycle licence to drive scooters! Never heard of that before (have rented scooters only in Asia), total surprise. Didn’t stumble on that information while doing research for our trip. None of us had the licence so no scooters for us!
Walking around in Apollonia looking for car rentalsWalking paths are well marked
Look back to Apokofto beach
It got dark. We sat at the bus stop, waited for the bus and watched people driving by in cars. Seemed like everyone was getting home but us:) Finally, the bus did come though a bit late. We had already started to fear what happens if the bus doesn’t come?
The ticket was 1,80€ and the route was kind of get to know the island:) We went through Kastro - a place recommended to have dinner, and where Dimitra advised to have a walk before the sunset. It seemed lovely place on top of the mountain with lots of lights on.
Eventually we arrived home and were surprised that the festival was still going on! And there were so many people. We went to the shop to buy food, then went home. We didn’t have the energy to go to the festival again. It was a long tiring but really nice day. Sifnos is really amazing!
