ASCENO GUIDE TO
Sifnos, Greece
This summer, Founder Poppy joined her friend Lucy Williams for an escape to the Cycladic island of Sifnos, where Lucy shared some of her favourite hidden corners and much-loved local spots.
A slower, quieter side of Greece, Sifnos is an island where days unfold at an unhurried pace. Mornings begin by the sea, afternoons are spent wandering whitewashed villages and ancient footpaths, lingering over long lunches and discovering local pottery studios, before the day gives way to golden evenings overlooking the Aegean.
Against this idyllic backdrop, Poppy wore some of her favourite looks from the High Summer collection, alongside pieces from the A.F. x ASCENO collaboration. Designed for effortless escapes, each piece moves seamlessly from sun-soaked mornings to relaxed afternoons and evenings by the water.
Discover the local spots Lucy shared with Poppy, which quickly became some of her favourite places on the island.
