Customs and Festivals
As in the other islands of the Cyclades, the festivals bring people together and express the religious sentiment. In the traditional festivals of Sifnos they offer “revithada” (chickpea soup) and braised meat with pasta, cooked in large cauldrons. During Lent they offer fried cod with garlic sauce and salad.
