I stayed in this beautiful and convenient place with my friend, it was our first time on Sifnos island, so we wanted to be close to the center, from which is easy to explore the island, but not in the heart of touristic Apollonia. We lived literally inside the beautiful garden, just 5 min walk from the capital Appolonia. The place was peacefull and quiet. The name Perivoli means "Big garden" from Greek. The building was made by ancient technology and it was always cool inside, because of the thick walls. It was nice to know that we live in a historic place - an estate belonged to a famous Greek poet - Ioannis Gryparis, and we stayed at a pigeons house, right in a room where poet kept his pigeons. Katerina's family was very welcoming, we felt like at home. They gave us fresh eggs from their farm, delicious goat cheese, goat milk and all the fruits and vegetables in the garden were at our disposal (in the end of September we had pomegranates, oranges, aubergines, sweet peppers, tomatoes and herbs: fresh basil, lemon herb, mint, parsley and celery). We visited Katerina's and Yanis's farm with rabbits, goats, cows with calfs and chickens. Katerina's husband Yanis is also a craftsmen, he made most of the furniture for the house in his wood workshop. Also Katerina and Yanis took us to two events they visited with their three little sons, it was amazing stargazing night on the top of the mountain at St Simeon chirch, and the unforgettable celebration for the Kipriani church on uninhabited island Kipriani, we were inside the life of the island with local people, local food and wine and old Greek music played on the violine and old kind of guitar. Our trip was amazing thanks to the place where we stayed. The rooms were tidy, and everything was very clean, bathroom was excellent. We had an opportunity to cook, and we ate from original Sifnos ceramic plates, which also look as a part of interior, which was minimalistic and authentic, I loved every detail of it. Thank you Loumidis family. We wish we'll come back soon!
