Platis Gialos is located on the south-east side of Sifnos and is one of its largest beaches. Golden sands and pebbles across the entire beach guarantee countless hours of summer slump and relaxation during your holiday.
Restaurants of Greek and world cuisine as well as café-snack bars are found all along the beachfront, serving food and drinks right next to the sea.
An assortment of shops are lined along the settlement’s high street for your buying pleasure selling, among others, traditional Sifnian pottery, as well as mini markets, bakeries with traditional delicacies, car rentals, travel agencies and ATM’s. Platis Gialos connects with the rest of the settlements and the island’s beaches via bus, which, especially in the summertime, is fairly frequent.
The beach features sea-sports rentals and serves as the base of most boat rental businesses also. Boat trips sail off the dock daily for remote beaches or the surrounding islets.
Lastly, Platis Gialos is an ideal destination for trek lovers. Some of the finest trails on Sifnos start or finish here, such as trail no. 4 leading to Fykiada beach and Vathy or trail no. 3 that starts at Apollonia (the island’s capital) and ends to Platis Gialos.
