Chrysa House
Five-minute walk to Kamares Beach, free on-site parking
About this hotel
Chrysa House is a small, comfortable two-star five minutes on foot from the sand at Kamares, the island's main port. Rooms are simple but cover the essentials: air-conditioning, a private bathroom, a fridge and free WiFi, with express check-in and check-out that make ferry-day logistics easier than at larger hotels. The free on-site parking is a genuine convenience on an island where rental cars are common but street parking near the port is not. Chrisopigi Monastery, 13 km south, is an easy half-day drive, and the tavernas and shops of Kamares' harbour front are all within the same five-minute radius as the beach. Guests rate the stay 9.1 out of 10 here, and it is earned on practical family logistics rather than polish, the sort of detail that matters more on a small island than a long amenities list.
- Near Kamares port
- Free parking
- Family rooms
- Daily housekeeping
Our take
This is a solid, unfussy choice for travellers who want to be near the port without paying resort prices, particularly useful the night before an early ferry. It will not suit anyone looking for pool, spa or restaurant facilities on site, since Chrysa House is a room-and-parking proposition rather than a full-service stay.
- ✓Book the night before an early ferry departure to remove any last-minute rush
- ✓Use the free parking if arriving by rental car from elsewhere on Sifnos
- ✓Walk the five minutes to the harbour front for dinner rather than driving
Why we love it
- Five minutes on foot from Kamares Beach

- Express check-in and check-out
- Family rooms with private bathroom
Why guests love itChrysa House is a simple two-star in Kamares, the port village of Sifnos, about five minutes from Kamares Beach, and it works well as a first or last night around a ferry. Family rooms have air conditioning, a TV and free WiFi, housekeeping is daily, and free on-site parking is handy for anyone with a hire car. Chrisopigi Monastery is about 13 km away. I would book it for convenience rather than character; a 9.1 score from 258 reviews shows it is well kept.
