Kamares Port: The only port of Sifnos offering great protection from the Meltemi winds. It is best to anchor 3-5 m off, since the holding for a sailboat or catamaran may not be that great and the swell can be dangerous. During the summer months, there may be limited mooring spots. Anchoring in the bay of Vathy is an alternative option. The port is near the beach of Chrysopigi and Faros, so guests can enjoy a half-day cruise to the beach of their choice.
Vathy: Situated on the southwest side of Sifnos, it forms a leeward port with a sandy beach.
The closest airport to Sifnos is in Milos. You may also book a flight to Santorini, Paros, or Mykonos, and begin your sailing journey from there. If you take the ferry from Piraeus, Athens, you can reach Sifnos in 3.5 hours with a high-speed ferry.
