Sifnos also has direct ferry connections with the islands of Folegandros, Ios, Syros, Santorini, Kimolos, Kythnos, Milos, Paros, Serifos and Sikinos.
The port of the island is located in the heart of the cove Kamares, where all ferries arrive. The Petali Village Hotel is 10 minutes drive away from the port.
Transfers can be arranged upon your arrival from the port to the Hotel. Car & scooter rental companies are available in Kamares and the Hotel can also secure your reservations if you wish.
The Petali Village Hotel is located in a wonderful eagles nest position above Apollonia, the capital of Sifnos island. Sifnos is known as one of the most traditional of Greek islands and a precious jewel in the Cycladic island group.
