Reviews about Sifnos, Cyclades, Greece |
Me and my partner of 9 years tied the knot in Lazarou (near Platis Yialos) on the 9th September. We invited 50 people over from the UK and Australia. It is a great place for families but also romantic if you want some peace as a couple. The locals were so good to us and everyone really made us... More >
Sifnos was highly recommended by a Greek friend who helped organizing our stay on Sifnos. I checked various websites about Sifnos, which provided all good information. Another source of information was my German travel guide, which was indeed very helpful. My impression was that the persons who let... More >
Clean the beaches

Sifnos is a typical cycladic island. My husband and I admired its architecture a lot. The narrow streets were much more picturesque than in other islands and people seemed more friendly. Beaches were nice but I was a bit disappointed that there were cigarette ends on the sand. Noboby seems to clean... More >
Sifnos is a small island and has not many things to do, except good nightlife and relaxing beaches. I think three or four days there are enough. Better stay a few days on Sifnos and island hop on Serifos or Kythnos. Faros and Apollonia are really Cycladic villages and have nice, reasonably priced... More >
The trip from Piraeus to Sifnos lasts about 6 hours with the slow boat, which is not so tiring. This was my first time to the island. The beaches were not the best in Greece but they had very clean water. Sifnos has many bars to have a drink but the nightlife is restricted in Apollonia, the... More >

To the southern extreme of the island you can find three sandy beaches: Platis Yialos, from here with a walk of half an hour between olive-groves and plants of oregano and thyme, you can reach the church of... More >
We spent four nights on Sifnos at the Windmill Bella Vista hotel. It was in Artemonas village and we didn't face any difficulty to find it, the locals gave us good directions. The hotel was very beautiful and the location lovely, although it was too windy, especially in the afternoon!! The services... More >
The most characteristic feature of Sifnos is its natural, unspoiled beaches. Most of them are not organized, which is a good point because you avoid the noise. You just lie on the sand, under the hot sun and your umbrella. The second feature is the traditional food, especially in the taverns in the... More >

Great beaches for children at Kamares, Glyfo (Faros). Great beaches for everyone at Fasolou, Platys Gialos (more crowded), Vathy, Glyfo (or Vlycho). Best activity: Laying under the small trees at the beaches all day long! The village of Kastro is a great experience!
Excellent food and local... More >

Just returned from a 2 week break on Sifnos. A 17 hour journey to get there from the UK but well worth it; 1 tube, 2 trains, 1 plane, 1 bus, 1 boat, and finally 1 taxi! Hired a car for the whole time I was on the island and so pleased I did because I was able to travel around at my own pace and not... More >
