The rocks of Chrysopigi
The flat plaques where you can lie on and
the green-azure waters made the rocks of Chrysopigi one of the most crowded
places on the island. If they are overcrowded you can choose the adjacent,
small Saoures beaches, or the sandy bay of Apokofto with the taverns.
Apokofto
It is located next to renowned Chrysopigi with sand and calm
waters. There are little taverns by the sea.
Vathy beach
Fine sand,
shallow waters, ideal for families with young children. Vathy bay is one of the most popular bays on
the island and it has a luxurious resort, rooms to let, little taverns and
cafés. It is preferred by those who come to Sifnos by boat.
Vroulidia
Small, pebbled beach just before
Cherronisos. There are two café-restaurants which have umbrellas-sunbeds.
Kamares beach
Between the port and Agia Marina there is
the big sandy and organized beach, with reedbeds and sand dunes with little lilies of sand
which bloom in August. Each year it is awarded with the Blue Flag of the
European Union.
Platis Gialos-Sifnou
Very famous and organized beach, ideal
for families and young groups of friends. It is the biggest sandy beach in
Sifnos. Here there are taverns, cafes, bars, hotels, grocery stores etc. Each
year it is awarded with a Blue Flag. The uninhabited islet of Kitriani (or
Kypriani) stands out across the beach, with the church of Panagia, the oldest
one in Sifnos (11th century).
Poulati
The waters below the church of Poulati are crystal clear. Descending
from the trail next to the church you pass through the reeds and a very small
river, in a very beautiful landscape.
Beaches of Faros
You can choose
between three beaches: the central one of Faros, with a view to Chrysopigi, where there are taverns, a grocery
store, cafés etc, Fasolou (left of Faros) with a restaurant and the one of
Glyfo where you can go through a little trail which begins from the beach of
Faros.
A nice trail to
the beach of Apokofto and Chrysopigi begins from Glyfo.
Herronisos
Beautiful enclosed bay with a few little
taverns and the workshop of old potter Kostas Depastas, “I Dyskoli”. As it is
protected from the winds it attracts families with children.
