My wife and I have travelled to Sifnos 11 times in 20 years, and we have stayed in the neighborhoods of Faros, Kastro, Vathy, Apollonia, and (once before) Kata-Vathy (where Liana's house is located). This was by far our best experience of an island we love, mostly due to the charm of this traditional house and to the kindness, thoughtfulness, and responsiveness of our host, Liana. Some people like to be right on the beach, but we like to soak up village life, and everyone takes cars or motor scooters to different beaches every day anyway. If you rent a motor scooter, you can park right at the house. If you have a car, you can park in one of five spaces (if available) only steps from the house or down on the main road about 200 meters away. Wherever you park, because you are part of a close neighborhood instead of a transient beach community, you will have neighbors to greet, dogs and cats (and donkeys) to get to know, and grocers who know what you like. All of the beautiful beaches of Sifnos are only a short drive away and at night you can stroll down to the lively city center for a sunset cocktail and dinner. We most highly recommend Liana's house to anyone traveling to this beautiful island.
