Faros
Φάρος
A small fishing harbour on the southeast coast, with a few small beaches and seaside tavernas, within walking distance of Chrysopigi.
Faros was once Sifnos's old port and is now a quiet fishing village, with fishing boats moored in the harbour and a few seafood tavernas along the shore. Several small beaches lie nearby, including Fasolou Beach with its fine sand and clear water. From Faros, a 20-minute walk along the coastal path leads to Chrysopigi Monastery, one of the island's most popular short hikes. Buses run direct from Apollonia.
