Hotéis em Faros
A small fishing village and quiet resort on Sifnos' southeastern coast, near the iconic Chrisopigi Monastery, with a handful of family aparthotels and two five-star properties set back from several small beaches.
Faros is one of Sifnos' quieter coastal villages, built around a small harbour and several coves rather than one continuous beach strip. It suits travellers who want a calmer alternative to Platis Gialos or Kamares, with accommodation ranging from simple family aparthotels to two five-star hotels near the water. The right base usually comes down to whether ferry convenience, chora nightlife, a long beach or a quieter coastline matters most for the trip. Most visitors combine a few nights in one village with day trips to the others, given how manageable the distances are by car or local bus.
Faros em números
Cape Napos
Faros aparthotel with pool views and a hot tub
Porque os viajantes adoramO Cape Napos é um apart-hotel em Faros, um recanto mais sossegado de Sifnos, com uma piscina virada para a paisagem, terraço, jardim, bar e banheira de hidromassagem. As unidades têm kitchenette, útil para as famílias manterem horários de refeição flexíveis, e há estacionamento gratuito. A praia de Faros fica a cerca de 1,9 km, por isso é preciso caminhar ou ir de carro. Eu escolhê-lo-ia como base calma com uma boa piscina; a nota de 9,7 em 247 avaliações é excelente.
Lighthouse Hotel
Conforto familiar perto da praia e do Farol de Alexandroupoli
Porque os viajantes adoramThe separate kids' pool at Lighthouse Hotel meant our younger children could splash around safely while we actually relaxed nearby, which is rarer than it should be at family hotels. The fitness room got genuine use most mornings before the heat set in. Breakfast handled our daughter's dietary needs without any fuss, which we cannot say for every hotel we have stayed at in Greece. We would book it again without a second thought, no changes needed.
Thalatta
Beachfront family rooms directly on Faros' sand
Porque os viajantes adoramO Thalatta é um apart-hotel à beira da praia em Faros, uma aldeia sossegada da costa sudeste de Sifnos, com acesso direto à areia e vista para o mar. Os quartos familiares têm kitchenette e varanda, por isso os pais preparam refeições simples e mantêm o ritmo das sestas. O mosteiro de Chrysopigi fica a cerca de 19 minutos a pé. Eu escolhê-lo-ia para famílias que querem uma base mais calma do que Kamares, com a praia em frente; a nota de 8,6 em 71 avaliações é sólida.
Fassolou
Two minutes from Faros Beach, kitchenette family rooms
Porque os viajantes adoramO Fassolou é um duas estrelas em Faros, uma aldeia sossegada da costa sudeste de Sifnos, a dois minutos da praia de Faros. Os quartos familiares têm vista para o mar ou para o jardim, kitchenette e ar condicionado, e um parque infantil exterior e um bar dão a pais e filhos o seu canto. Eu reservá-lo-ia para famílias com crianças pequenas que querem a praia à porta e uma aldeia calma; a nota de 8,5 em 98 avaliações é sólida.
