Sifnos Hotel Benaki
Beachfront balconies over the Aegean, 12 km from Kamares port
Sobre este hotel
Benaki keeps things straightforward: air-conditioned rooms on the beachfront at Platis Gialos, a balcony that looks either over the sea or back toward the village rooftops, and a snack bar for the days you would rather not walk to a taverna. It is the kind of two-star that earns its 9.0 rating on fundamentals rather than extras: private bathroom, TV, fridge, and a location where the sand starts outside the door. Apollonia's whitewashed chora, 8 km inland, makes an easy half-day trip, and the medieval Kastro village is close enough at 11 km for anyone renting a car for the week. Kamares port, where most ferries land, is a 12-km drive. Guests rate the stay 9 out of 10 here, and it is earned on direct beach access rather than a short walk, the sort of detail that matters more on a small island than a long amenities list.

Nuestra opinión
El Benaki es un alojamiento sencillo, pensado para la playa: un dos estrellas sobre Platis Gialos, con balcones al Egeo o al pueblo, aire acondicionado, snack bar y solárium. Lo elegiría cuando el plan es pasar los días en la arena. Encaja mejor con quien viaja en coche, ya que Apollonia está a 8 km y el puerto de Kamares a 12 km.
- ✓Request a sea-facing balcony specifically when booking, not all rooms face the water
- ✓Hire a car for the day trip to Kastro, public transport does not run there directly
- ✓Pack for a snack-bar pace: the on-site food options are limited by design
Por qué nos gusta
- Balconies directly over the Platis Gialos beachfront
- 12 km drive to Kamares port for ferry days
- Easy half-day trip to Apollonia's Cycladic centre
- Snack bar for low-effort beach days
Por qué encanta a los viajerosPara una familia que quiere sobre todo playa, el Benaki va a lo esencial: está sobre Platis Gialos, las habitaciones tienen aire acondicionado y los balcones dan al Egeo o al pueblo. Un snack bar y un solárium cubren las comidas ligeras, pero no hay piscina ni restaurante completo. Apollonia queda a 8 km y el puerto de Kamares a 12 km, así que yo contaría con un coche de alquiler para las noches fuera y para el ferri con equipaje y niños.
