Anthousa Hotel
Central Apollonia hotel with massage services and a bar
About this hotel
Anthousa Hotel sits in a central Apollonia setting, useful for exploring the chora's steep pedestrian lanes and the island beyond by car. Rooms include a work desk and soundproofing, a practical detail in a village that gets lively in the evenings, alongside air-conditioning and a private bathroom in every room. The garden and sun terrace offer a quieter retreat, and the massage services and bar give guests reasons to stay on site as well as head out. Poulati Beach is a 2.6-km drive, and Chrisopigi Monastery is a reasonable 8 km south for a half-day trip. Guests rate the stay 8.9 out of 10 here, and it is earned on the wellness extras rather than the basics, the sort of detail that matters more on a small island than a long amenities list.

Our take
Anthousa works well for travellers who want to be based centrally in Apollonia, close to restaurants and nightlife, with the option of a massage after a day of walking the chora's lanes. It is a comfortable, straightforward stay rather than a boutique experience. Anyone wanting sea views from the room should look at the hillside properties on the edge of the village instead.
- ✓Book a massage after exploring Apollonia on foot, the chora's lanes involve more steps than they look
- ✓Use the soundproofed rooms to your advantage and enjoy the chora's nightlife without worrying about the walk back
- ✓Drive to Poulati Beach in the late morning before the day gets too hot
Why we love it
- Central Apollonia location
- Massage services on site
- Soundproofed rooms
- Close to chora nightlife
Why guests love itAnthousa Hotel is a two-star in the centre of Apollonia, the main village of Sifnos, which makes evening walks through the lanes to dinner easy without a car. Rooms have air conditioning, balconies and private bathrooms, soundproofing is listed for the lively streets outside, and there is a bar and massage services on site. Poulati Beach is about 2.6 km away. I would choose it for families or couples who prefer village life to the beach; an 8.9 score from 331 reviews backs it.
