Sifnos is the gastronomic capital of the Cyclades, its 18th-century cookbook author Nikolaos Tselementes defined Greek cuisine, and the island's culinary traditions run deeper than anywhere else in the Aegean. Revithia (chickpea soup slow-cooked in ceramic pots), mastelo (lamb braised in wine and rosemary), and honey-drenched amygdalota (almond sweets) are the signature dishes.
