Alexandra's apartment in Vathy, Sifnos, is just perfect. We spent 3 days there in September 2014 and we loved every moment of it. The terrace has a beautiful view over the bay and the hills, you will spend most of your time there. The kitchen is well equipped. The two bedrooms are nicely decorated and have air conditioned.

The sea is just 20 metres away, and you can go to the tavernas and small shops in Vathy barefoot, as everything is reached through the beach. Vathy's chapel is really beautiful... But nothing compares to the blue and calm of the water, I've never seen anything like that: you can swim in the bay as if you were in a swimming pool.

There're buses and taxis to and from Kamares (the harbour) and Apollonia (Sifno's capital) so renting a car is not really needed. There're also nice and well marked paths for trekking the hills behind the bay. Actually you could cross the whole island on foot. Those paths are really old and beautiful.

Alexandra was always very nice. She brought us some sweets and mezes while we were there, they were delicious. Cold raki was waiting for us in the freezer. She arranged a taxi for our arrival from the port.

All in all, an excellent experience!
