“Wow! Really fantastic place.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2008

I booked this after reading the reviews here. It really is an amazing place to stay. Our room (3) was large and clean. It had its own kitchen area and, best of all, a large terrace that caught the sun from 11am to 6pm - no need to stagger the full 10 yards to the beach!
John (Ioannis) is very helpful, he will even lend you a wheelbarrow to get your suitcase along the beach to the bus/taxi stop!
This place is perfect for those who enjoy peace and quiet, value for money and are happy with a choice of a few tavernas to eat in and not a lot of nightlife.
Vathi is absolutely beautiful. A perfect crescent shaped bay surrounded by hills. Magnificent location for a holiday.

Thoroughly recommended.

“I wouldn't stay anywhere else.....”

I stayed at Xanthakis studios for almost a month, and it was hard to say goodbye. John Xanthakis and his wife Maria keep the hotel clean and make you feel welcomed the minute you arrive. Vathi has one of the best beaches on the island, and I spent hours just sitting on my deck drying off from a swim. I was there to work on a novel, and it was the perfect environment for that as well. I can't wait to go back....I can't imagine a more ideal spot.

  • Liked — Location and kindliness of owner
  • Disliked — Honestly, I had no complaints.

“Perfect appartments”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 July 2008

people found this review helpful

Beautifully located appartments on Varthi bay - very clean, modern, well furnished, with very good mattress.

Lovely well maintained garden between you & the waters edge.

John Xanthakis is very charming & incredibly helpful.

A place to relax, with a short walk along the beach required to the nearest road.

Sifnos is a lovely island, & these appartments would be a very good choice. If staying for more than a few days, would probably need to hire a car, to avoid bus service constraints.

  • Liked — very charming owners
  • Disliked — nothing

“Loved this place !!”

We spent a week at Xanthakis apts. recently. It's a lovely place. As the other reviewers have already said , it's clean. right on the beach and the Xanthakis family can't do enough for you. They even gave us a bottle of their home produced wine. If you want good, economy priced accomodation, you couldn't beat this place.

My wife and I have been to Greece many times. Xanthakis Apartments is by far the nicest place we've stayed. The owner John Xanthakis has done a fanastic job! Vathi too is by far the nicest place to stay on Sifnos. The beach is amazing!
