It is the season when all the landladies of Sifnos, who are also called "Chiones" (in English: snow-whites), because of their cleanness, are making the preparations for the Easter and they start painting their houses and freshening up the paint of the joints in the courtyards and in the alleys in front of their houses! The same thing happens in all the stores that get prepared to welcome you.
