Thalatta
Beachfront family rooms directly on Faros' sand
About this hotel
Thalatta sits directly on the Faros beachfront, with the sun terrace opening onto the sand and a lush garden adding shade around the property. Family rooms come with air-conditioning, a balcony and a kitchenette, and the outdoor dining and seating areas make eating a meal without a car trip straightforward. Faros Beach is immediately outside, and Chrisopigi Monastery, the island's most photographed chapel on its rocky islet, is a manageable 19-minute walk for an evening outing. Free WiFi runs throughout the property, a small but consistent detail across the stay. Guests rate the stay 8.6 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.

Our take
Thalatta is a good fit for families wanting direct beach access in the quieter, less developed village of Faros rather than the busier strips at Kamares or Platis Gialos. The kitchenette supports longer, self-catering stays well. Travellers seeking an on-site restaurant or bar with more variety should consider properties in Kamares instead.
- ✓Walk to Chrisopigi Monastery in the early evening, the light on the chapel and its footbridge is best before sunset
- ✓Use the kitchenette for breakfast and lunch, dining options directly in Faros are limited
- ✓Book a garden-facing room for extra shade during the hottest midday hours
Why we love it
- Direct beachfront access in Faros
- 19-minute walk to Chrisopigi Monastery
- Kitchenette in every family room
- Lush garden setting
Why guests love itThalatta is a beachfront aparthotel in Faros, a quiet village on the south-east coast of Sifnos, with direct access to the sand and sea views. Family rooms have a kitchenette and a balcony, so parents can prepare simple meals and keep naps on schedule. Chrisopigi Monastery is about a 19-minute walk along the coast. I would choose it for families who want a calmer base than Kamares with the beach right outside; an 8.6 score from 71 reviews is solid.
