Nefeli Sunset Studios
Sunset studios four minutes from Pollonia Beach
About this hotel
Nefeli takes its name from the sunset Pollonia is known for, the light dropping west over the water toward Kimolos island visible from the village front on a clear evening. The studios sit a four-minute walk from the beach, close enough for an evening swim timed to the colour change without rushing out the door. Pollonia itself stays smaller and quieter than Adamas, a fishing village with fish tavernas along the front rather than a working ferry port at its centre, and studios come with a kitchen, coffee machine and kitchenware for anyone who prefers cooking over eating out every night. Air conditioning, free WiFi and private bathrooms round out every unit.

- Family-friendly
Our take
This suits travellers who want Pollonia's quieter pace and sunset views over Adamas's port-town convenience, and who are happy self-catering for at least some meals during the stay. Being 13 kilometres from the airport means a longer transfer, worth weighing against the trade of a calmer base away from the ferry crowds. Anyone needing to be near the main ferry terminal for onward island-hopping should consider Adamas instead, since Pollonia sits a genuine drive from the port itself.
- ✓Time the beach walk for the last hour before sunset, the light change is the reason to be here
- ✓Book a table at a front-row fish taverna ahead in high season, Pollonia's waterfront fills quickly
- ✓Plan the 13-kilometre transfer from the airport in advance, taxis are less frequent this far out
Why we love it
- Four-minute walk to Pollonia Beach
- Genuine sunset-facing position
- Quiet fishing-village setting
- Family-friendly studios
Why guests love itThe sunset from the studio balcony alone justified staying in Pollonia over the busier port town, we watched it most evenings before heading down for dinner. The beach walk took barely four minutes, an easy nightly routine before dinner at one of the fish tavernas along the front where the catch changes daily. The 13-kilometre transfer from the airport took a bit of planning ahead of time, but the quieter pace once we arrived made it worthwhile for the whole week we stayed.
