Latest reviews on Sifnos island's beaches

Apokofto beach II
10 Bryce Sterling

We came to this beach for both lunch and dinner. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The food was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. The location was absolutely breathtaking - enjoying lunch in the cool shade of the trees, or witnessing the stunning sunset right by the beach during dinner. I highly recommend trying the pork belly along with a classic Greek salad.

Vathi beach
10 Dennison

This idyllic beach is a hidden gem that you'll want to keep all to yourself. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, you'll find sun loungers and parasols at the far end of the path from the bus stop, available for just 6€ per day.

Kamares beach
10 Samantha Delgado

This beach is simply amazing! The variety of umbrellas and beach chairs available is impressive. Additionally, there are several restaurants nearby, which makes it convenient to grab a quick bite after a fun day at the beach. And the best part? The water is crystal clear and refreshingly warm. It's the perfect spot for a relaxing day in the sun.

Apokofto beach
10 Nikola Petrovic

This particular beach stood out as our favorite among all the others. It embodies everything we could have wished for in an island beach - breathtakingly scenic, with a pristine sandy shore that is ideal for children to play on. Additionally, there are charming tavernas lining the road, providing a perfect spot for us to unwind and savor a meal while the kids frolic on the sand. We were absolutely blown away by the sheer magnificence of this beach and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable seaside experience.

This beach is an absolute gem for those who love adventure! If you're up for a hike, you'll be delighted to know that it's only a 35-40 minute walk from where you park your vehicle. It's not too fast-paced, nor too slow, but with comfortable shoes, it's definitely an easier way to get there. The road is blocked with a chain because of a private company, so it's best to park your car or motorcycle at the end of it. Don't forget to bring your own water, food, and umbrella for a comfortable stay. To avoid crowds, it's recommended to go early in the morning, as boats start to arrive from 11 onwards. The waters are crystal clear, making it perfect for snorkeling enthusiasts!

Cheronissos beach
10 Nina Petrova

This is one of my preferred beaches on one of my beloved Greek islands. It's peaceful, there's shade from the trees, and the sand is soft and cozy. The tavernas are lovely, and the water is crystal clear with a breathtaking view. I will certainly be returning! ❤️
