Top 10 Beaches in Sifnos, South Aegean

January 4, 2022 Kelli Reichel

Sifnos (Greek: Σίφνος; the spelling Siphnos is obsolete in English but still by convention often used to refer to the island in ancient times) is an island municipality in the Cyclades island group in Greece. The main town, near the center, known as Apollonia (pop. 869), is home of the island's folklore museum and library. The town's name is thought to come from an ancient temple of Apollo on the site of the church of Panayia Yeraniofora. The second-largest town is Artemonas (800), thought to be named after an ancient temple of Apollo's sister-goddess Artemis, located at the site of the church of Panayia Kokhi. The village of Kastro (118), was the capital of the island during ancient times until 1836. It is built on top of a high cliff on the island's east shore and today has extensive medieval remains and is the location of the island's archeological museum. The port settlement, on the west coast of the island is known as Kamares (245).

Faros Beach

Reviewed By MartaS0fia - Sofia, Bulgaria

Faros is a small fishermen's village in the south of Sifnos that our family instantly fell in love with. The beaches are actually three, all within easy walking distance. Faros beach lies in the center of the eponymous village, close to the little port, the restaurants and the only mini-market. Glyfo is the best of all three - with tamarisk trees shade, silky sand and crystal clear water. Fassolou is a bit further in the other direction, but no more than 7-10 minute walk. Again nice tree shade and sand. The sea bottom has some stones. Glyfo is unorganized but only 100-200 meters from civilization. There is a taverna on Fassolou and on Faros you can rent some sunbeds from Gorgona restaurant. From Glyfo you take path to the famous Panagia Chrysopigi church. All three beaches have a shower and a changing room.

Vroulidia Beach

Reviewed By Vowlesreviews - London, United Kingdom

I have to say that this is the most serene beach that I have ever visited, perfect blue water, pebbles and sun beds if wanted. Whilst this beach is a little out of the main town and isn’t the easiest to get to, if you can get to there it’s well worth the effort. I would have to say that if you have a small car however I would try and park on the slope on the way down as it’s rather steep and windy right at the bottom. It is a perfect pebble beach with pristine blue waters with a sandy sea floor. I spend hours here under the sun and in the sea and had an absolutely wonderful time, especially as there was no phone signal so it was idyllic and as quiet as anything. The beach wasn’t crowded at all and there are two beautiful cafe/restaurants on the beach of a drink and or food is needed. The cafe ok the right when looking at the sea has some stunning pottery too, some of the best on the island, and I’m kicking myself for not buying even a little coffee cup. To sum up, I cannot recommend this beach any more! Just be prepared to walk down the cliff side road if you don’t have a big car. Have a wonderful time there, I will always remember this special place. (An extra little tip - if you wait until just before sunset and then drive to the top lay-by with a big caterpillar bulldozer, you can get a stunning view of the sun setting over the sea and distant islands. Absolutely stunning! See my last photo on this review)

Very clean beach with pristine waters. Plenty of sun beds which one can rent or sit at one of the cafes on the beach, order a drink and the sun beds come free.

Platis Gialos Beach

Reviewed By LouNaga - Athens, Greece

Worth the visit. Sandy with beach bars that provide with drinks and shade. Also, definitely worth visiting at night, where you can order and enjoy your cocktail at the beach, or go for a night swim
