Hoteles en Faros
A small fishing village and quiet resort on Sifnos' southeastern coast, near the iconic Chrisopigi Monastery, with a handful of family aparthotels and two five-star properties set back from several small beaches.
Faros is one of Sifnos' quieter coastal villages, built around a small harbour and several coves rather than one continuous beach strip. It suits travellers who want a calmer alternative to Platis Gialos or Kamares, with accommodation ranging from simple family aparthotels to two five-star hotels near the water. The right base usually comes down to whether ferry convenience, chora nightlife, a long beach or a quieter coastline matters most for the trip. Most visitors combine a few nights in one village with day trips to the others, given how manageable the distances are by car or local bus.

Lighthouse Hotel
Confort familiar cerca de la playa y el Faro de Alexandroupoli
Por qué encanta a los viajerosThe separate kids' pool at Lighthouse Hotel meant our younger children could splash around safely while we actually relaxed nearby, which is rarer than it should be at family hotels. The fitness room got genuine use most mornings before the heat set in. Breakfast handled our daughter's dietary needs without any fuss, which we cannot say for every hotel we have stayed at in Greece. We would book it again without a second thought, no changes needed.
