This was our first visit to Sifnos, and we absolutely loved our stay in the quiet village of Faros. The best feature of the property is the large patio that overlooks Glyfos Beach, a small gorgeous beach with crystal clear water and plenty of tamarisk trees for shade. We spent many happy hours on the patio watching the sailboats come and go.
The property is very clean and attractively decorated inside. It is outfitted with all the amenities that a couple or small group could want. There is a small market in town, and a larger one, Arades, about 15 minutes away by car. We had a rental car and enjoyed visiting Vathi, Platis Gialos, Appolonia, and Kamares. The walking path to Chrysopigi provides some fantastic views of Faros and the monastery.
Kyriaki provided a wealth of local information including restaurant recommendations, and she readily answered our many questions. Check in and check out were easy and smooth. The only challenge we had was carrying our heavy luggage up through the village after a long journey from the US. There are about 50 steps to climb, we should have made two trips to the car!
