Where to Bath

Sifnos offers beautiful sandy beaches and a lot of majestic rocky coves, here are our favorites :

  • Chrisopigi on the rocks (also walking distance from the Retreat Nest) - passing the church, take one of the little paths and climb down to the flat rocks

  • Vroulidia - driving North towards Cheronisos, you can find one of the most beautiful beaches of the island. Although a bit difficult to access with a scooter/car, you can park when the road gets a little dodgy and walk down to the cristal clear water.

  • Poulati - best to go on a non-windy day and preferably before 4pm, bamboos, cristal clear water, peaceful olive tree fields.. this little rocky bay feels like heaven. Accessible with scooter as long as you take it slow and have a firm grip on the handlebar.

  • Faros & Glyfos (walking distance down from the Retreat Nest, taking the path in the hill) charming fishermen village, you will find the cutest little beach, a few cafes and restaurants.

  • Fassolou beach - small protected beach
