The roof is at its best for about forty minutes a day, and most first-night guests miss it because they are unpacking.
The timing
In June the sun goes behind Sifnos at about twenty to nine. Come up at eight. In September, come up at seven.
The bar opens at five but the light does not do anything interesting until the shadows of the daybeds reach the wall.
Then dinner
The lift takes ninety seconds from level five to level two. Nobody is ever late for the table who started on the roof.
