Lodge Narlis — Hotel in Municipality of Sifnos

A unique gem on the beach…||We were so lucky to find this unique little place on the beach in Platys Gialos, owned & run by the lovely, warm and friendly couple Effie and Giannis. Built originally as a working pottery in the olden days it has been lovingly transformed into a few very comfortable rooms and an apartment. Our room, Frini, on the ground floor, was just perfect. Beautiful vines and bougianvillea cascading over the terrace, nicely appointed, comfortable bed, fridge, kettle and enough utensils to make a light breakfast/lunch if you wish. However, during the day they have a small café on the premises which serves delicious breakfast, drinks and snacks, we highly recommend this. Platys Gialos has some excellent restaurants, all on the beach. Nearby Apollonia, the charming capital town of Sifnos is definitely worth a visit in the evening for some shopping and yummy food. As Sifnos is historically famous for ceramics, we were lucky to be able to attend a workshop hosted by Giannis & Effie on their farm not far from the town of Apollonia. We proudly left with our hand painted vessels and a sense of achievement. |If you want to be lulled to sleep by the sound of the sea and get an authentic Greek experience, this is an ideal location for you. We will be back…| |Rent a car to get the most our of this...

We returned here again - even to same room (Frini) after enjoying it so much last September. And it did not disappoint. It is excellent value for money. Don’t expect luxury - but it’s very clean and comfortable, with a pleasant courtyard cafe right on the beach. The room has a fridge and a few plates and glasses, but no kettle so worth investing in a travel one if you like tea in the room. Otherwise drinks available at the cafe from 8am. The bathroom is on the small side, but perfectly useable. Giannis and Effie are very welcoming and friendly. The restaurant next door, owned by giannis’ brother, is good quality and very tasty. |PG beach in September is lovely as the crowds have thinned out and we had no trouble getting sun loungers. The bus service took us to all the places we wanted to visit so need for us to hire a car. I’d recommend Lodge Narlis highly for those who love to be right on the beach, but without the high cost of luxury...
