Sifnos Hotel Benaki
Beachfront balconies over the Aegean, 12 km from Kamares port
Sobre este hotel
Benaki keeps things straightforward: air-conditioned rooms on the beachfront at Platis Gialos, a balcony that looks either over the sea or back toward the village rooftops, and a snack bar for the days you would rather not walk to a taverna. It is the kind of two-star that earns its 9.0 rating on fundamentals rather than extras: private bathroom, TV, fridge, and a location where the sand starts outside the door. Apollonia's whitewashed chora, 8 km inland, makes an easy half-day trip, and the medieval Kastro village is close enough at 11 km for anyone renting a car for the week. Kamares port, where most ferries land, is a 12-km drive. Guests rate the stay 9 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.

A nossa opinião
O Benaki é um alojamento simples, virado para a praia: um duas estrelas sobre Platis Gialos, com varandas para o Egeu ou para a aldeia, ar condicionado, snack-bar e solário. Escolhê-lo-ia quando o plano é passar os dias na areia. Serve melhor quem viaja de carro, já que Apollonia fica a 8 km e o porto de Kamares a 12 km.
- ✓Request a sea-facing balcony specifically when booking, not all rooms face the water
- ✓Hire a car for the day trip to Kastro, public transport does not run there directly
- ✓Pack for a snack-bar pace: the on-site food options are limited by design
Porque gostamos
- Balconies directly over the Platis Gialos beachfront
- 12 km drive to Kamares port for ferry days
- Easy half-day trip to Apollonia's Cycladic centre
- Snack bar for low-effort beach days
Porque os viajantes adoramPara uma família que quer sobretudo praia, o Benaki vai ao essencial: fica sobre Platis Gialos, os quartos têm ar condicionado e as varandas dão para o Egeu ou para a aldeia. Um snack-bar e um solário resolvem as refeições leves, mas não há piscina nem restaurante completo. Apollonia fica a 8 km e o porto de Kamares a 12 km, por isso eu contaria com um carro alugado para as noites fora e para o ferry com bagagem e crianças.
