Sifnos recognised as one of the world’s top gastronomic hotspots

·

Sifnos has claimed the second spot among the top 100 global destinations renowned for their delectable sweet treats, according to the latest ranking by Taste Atlasm.

According to money-toursm.gr, the international culinary guide praises melopita, a traditional Sifnian dessert, describing it as “a light and delicious dessert associated with Sifnos and its traditions”. The island’s beloved sweet received an impressive score of 4.6 out of 5, placing it above numerous other regional delicacies from across Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas.

Highlighting the island’s rich culinary heritage, Sifnos Deputy Mayor of Tourism Yannis Raffeletos noted, “Gastronomy is a very important chapter in the tradition, history and evolution of the island. The local cuisine reflects the love of the Sifnians for the land but also their passion for pottery and the use of the gifts that nature offers. In this context, the art of good quality food is an integral part of our appeal to international media and tourism bodies.”

Sifnos continues to draw international attention, having also been featured in Conde Nast Traveler’s list of the best Greek islands—praised as an ideal destination where gastronomy, creativity, and timeless charm converge. National Geographic further elevated its reputation by including it in the 2025 edition of the “31 Wonderful Islands of Greece,” noting that “Sifnos is the place where the ‘father’ of modern Greek cuisine, Nikolaos Tselementes, was born in 1878. It is worth tasting the island’s specialties of stewed chickpeas and lamb stewed mastelo, slow-cooked in the traditional way in stone pots.”
