into the ocean. It is one of the most beautiful sun sets you will ever
see! Sharing Space: We do not rent out both units to people that do not know each other without consent from the person who rented first.

Few places
so perfectly preserve the ideal of the classic white Greek island
village the way Kastro, Sifnos does – no cars, no development, no
cheap hotels – just pristine 14th century architecture, and a
maze of narrow lanes that all end in spectacular views over the clear
Aegean. It's said that the Renaissance began
when scholars discovered ancient Greek texts in Constantinople,
reigniting the study of science and mathematics in Europe. Kastro, on
Sifnos, is an opportunity to visit that very moment in the history of
the Western world, because Kastro is a Venetian outpost, part of the
trading network that connected Venice with Constantinople, during the
12th 13th and 14th centuries. Our
house, just inside the town's main gate, sits at the very heart of this
astonishingly preserved architectural monument. To lovers of history,
it is breath-taking, to students of architecture it is an endless
source of fascination. To anyone wanting to spend a quiet couple of
weeks, soaking up the sun, and swimming in crystal blue water against a
backdrop of unique beauty, it is absolutely
perfect. The ingeneous 14th century building
design uses metre thick walls to insulate and natural convection
currents to keep the house cool on the hotest days. Deep window
and door alcoves trap the brilliant Aegean light to spectacular
effect. To see the house click thumbnail below. Contact Kara at kara2004@mac.com
