Nostos Sifnos
Family rooms in Apollonia with beauty services and garden views
About this hotel
Nostos Sifnos sits in Apollonia itself, the island's whitewashed chora, with family rooms offering either garden or sea views and the everyday comforts of a tea and coffee maker and free toiletries in each. Beauty services and a tour desk are available directly through the hotel, useful for planning day trips without hunting down a separate agency in the village streets. The sun terrace and garden give guests outdoor space beyond their own balcony, and Poulati Beach, a quieter alternative to the main resort strips, is a 2-km trip, while Chrisopigi Monastery sits 9 km to the south. Guests rate the stay 9.2 out of 10 here, and it is earned on a genuine sea view rather than a glimpse, the sort of detail that matters more on a small island than a long amenities list.
- In Apollonia village
- Tour desk on site
- Beauty services
- Garden or sea views
Our take
Nostos suits travellers who want to be based in Apollonia itself, walking distance from the chora's restaurants, shops and nightlife, with the added convenience of an in-house tour desk for organising the rest of the island. It is a comfortable, mid-range stay rather than a luxury one. Anyone wanting direct beach access should look at the coastal villages instead.
- ✓Use the tour desk to book day trips rather than arranging them independently, it saves time in a village without many agencies
- ✓Drive to Poulati Beach for a quieter alternative to the busier resort beaches
- ✓Book a beauty service treatment after a day of walking Apollonia's steep lanes
Why we love it
- Based in the heart of Apollonia's chora
- In-house tour desk for day trips
- Beauty services available
- 2 km to quiet Poulati Beach
Why guests love itNostos Sifnos sits in Apollonia, the island's main village, which makes it a good base for evenings in the lanes on foot rather than by car. Family rooms come with garden or sea views and private bathrooms, and the on-site tour desk can arrange excursions around the island. Poulati Beach is about 2 km away and Chrisopigi Monastery about 9 km. I would choose it for families who prefer village life to a beachfront address; a 9.2 score from 315 reviews backs it.
