Selana Suites
Infinity pool 500 metres from Chrisopigi Monastery
About this hotel
Selana Suites sits just 500 metres from Chrisopigi Monastery, the whitewashed chapel perched on its rocky islet and joined to the mainland by a narrow footbridge, one of the most photographed spots on Sifnos and a well-known sunset viewpoint. The hotel's own infinity pool and sun terrace make the most of the same coastal setting, and the lush garden adds shade around the property. Bicycle parking suits guests exploring the quieter roads around Chrisopigi and Faros, and Saoures Beach is an eight-minute walk for those who prefer sand to the pool. Breakfast leans continental, with fresh pastries, pancakes, cheese and fruit. Guests rate the stay 9 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.

Our take
Selana Suites is the natural base for anyone visiting Sifnos specifically for Chrisopigi Monastery and its sunset views, with the infinity pool offering an equally good spot to watch the light change over the coast. It suits couples and families wanting a quieter southeastern base. Travellers wanting Apollonia's nightlife within walking distance should stay in the chora instead.
- ✓Walk to Chrisopigi Monastery for sunset at least once, the footbridge and chapel are at their best in the evening light
- ✓Use the bicycle parking to explore the quieter coastal roads around Faros
- ✓Book the infinity pool for sunset if the monastery gets crowded with day-trippers

Why guests love itSelana Suites is in Chrisopigi, on the south-east coast of Sifnos, about 500 metres from Chrisopigi Monastery and an eight-minute walk from Saoures Beach. It has an infinity pool, a sun terrace and a garden, plus family rooms and bicycle parking. For parents, the pool offers an easy alternative to the beach on windy days, and the monastery makes a short walk. I would choose it for families who want a quieter corner of the island with a good pool; a 9.0 score from 120 reviews backs it.
