	Sifnos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sifnos (Greek: Σίφνος) is an island in the Cyclades complex in Greece.
		Sifnos lies in the less touristed western half of the Cyclades between Serifos and Milos and is also located west of Delos and Paros and is about 130 km (80 nautical miles) from Piraeus and 130 km south of Athens.
		Due to the physiology of the island (rich clay veins, sunny weather and temperature) Sifnos has been traditionally the capital of pottery in the Aegean, with unique jars and pots that are a kind of "trademark" of the island.
