Getting here.

Sifnos is reached by ferry from Piraeus. We are in Artemonas, ten minutes on foot from Apollonia and twenty minutes from the port at Kamares.

The journey

Express ferry
SeaJets from Piraeus, around three hours. Book early in August; the boat sells out.
Conventional ferry
Blue Star from Piraeus, around five hours. Slower, steadier, and there is a proper seat and a coffee.
From Kamares
For stays of three nights or more we send a car to the port. For shorter stays the local bus runs every thirty minutes in season.
On the island
You do not need a car to stay with us. You may want one for two days if you intend to see the far beaches.
Arriving late
Tell us the boat and someone will be awake. The kitchen will have left you something.

Artemonas

Artemonas is the quieter of the two villages on the ridge, all whitewashed lanes and neoclassical houses built by returning shipowners. Apollonia, with the shops and the square, is a ten-minute walk along a marble path.

The house is at the edge of the village where the lanes give out into terraces. There is no through traffic. You will hear the church, the wind, and at six in the morning the oven door.
