“Makis Camping ...The greatest!!!! Only for friendly people!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2011

Hello everyone. I'm Greek-girl and I visit Sifnos every year the since 1994 (my man much longer). I always stay at Makis Camping. Most of the times we camp, other times we rent room which is also great. Many compliments for the cleaning matter especially showers & bathrooms which are pleanty. The mini market has all you need. You will not find lobster but remember that you chose camping for holidays... The beach is just across and yoy can smell the sea at night. It's quiet when you want to rest but really fun you need. You can find a right spot for your tent and Makis will always help you to it. If you visit it in August you must be prepared that will meet many peole. Parties going on, singing a nights, meeting new people. Saying "goodmorning" to everyne and getting back is so nice... The staff most times are foreign people and really trying hard to keep everyone happy. But the greatests of all are Makis& Stephanie... thank you very mush for all of our holidays we had and will have... And don't forget the sign at the entrance: MAKIS CAMPING IS ONLY FOR FRIENDLY PEOPLE. Everyone should visit. Hope to see you all there!!!

“Rude staff”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 December 2010

Makis camping is located in camares and it is about a five minute walk from the port. When I walked in to Maki's camping the first I noticed was the size of the camp site. I remember thinking to myself "wow that's it, my friends backyard is bigger than this place''. Sifnos has only one camping so it was awfully crowded and impossible to find a decent spot to pitch your tent.
There are only a few bathrooms so there was always a wait, however they were super clean. A mini cafe snack bar is located at the entrance. The selection of products is very limited,a ham n cheese sandwich, crackers and a few soft drinks and thats about it. Another bad thing was that the staff didn't speak Greek , just a few words in English.
The guy that ran the place was extremely obnoxious. From the moment we got there, I did not appreciate his attitude at all, it was like he was telling me ''look if you don't like it , get out of here, we could care less''. I was honestly amazed at how rude he was at times and the worst part was his annoying smart aleck character. Planned on staying 5 days, left after 4.
Big thumbs down for Maki's camping.

“Makis and his staff have created a quiet, friendly and relaxing place to camp.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2010

We traveled to Sifnos with our two teenage daughters. All of us loved the atmosphere at Makis and had a hard time leaving after 5 nights to explore another island. We just kept wanting to go back to this mellow, friendly, relaxing campground. The staff was always so warm and helpful. We felt like one big happy family of French, Greek, Americans, Spanish...Makis made sure that everyone was content. The bathrooms and showers were clean. Makis has made attention to details and even has music piped into the bathroom on little speakers! The beach is a short walk across the road. The care served good espresso and frappes. We hope to make it back there again and stay for 2 weeks.

“Why stay in expensive apartments?”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 July 2009

Why stay in expensive apartments when there is a fantastic camp site just across the road from the beach at Kamares. This camp site is reasonably priced (which can be negotiated), well equipped and has extremely clean amenities. The staff work non stop. Makis is most welcoming and helpful (even down to his ‘free gift’ of a spare toilet roll. The addition of being able to hire a tent with bedding is most convenient.

The local people of the town port of Kamares were most friendly although it is well worth visiting the other highlights of this beautiful island.
