Derived from the Greek word for stars, ‘astra,’ the hotel lives up to its name, offering guests a celestial viewing experience from each of its 16 rooms. The infinity pool stretches into the horizon, promising a tranquil reprieve, unless, of course, you are drawn to the charming cobbled streets of nearby Artemonas, or decide to traverse the hiking trails that ribbon through the rugged, enchanting landscapes leading to secluded beaches or lively local festivals known as panegyris. For those inclined towards cultural enrichment, cooking classes, photo safaris, and visits to local pottery workshops await.
Further enhancing the Sifnian experience, Verina Terra offers a rustic yet refined retreat steps from the Platis Gialos beach. Surrounded by olive groves and facing the azure sea, the property comprises 11 rooms, suites, and apartments. Here, one can immerse in the simplicity and beauty of Sifnos, whether it’s practicing yoga among the olive trees, lounging by the pool with a cocktail, or enjoying a picnic on the beach, replete with fresh produce from the hotel’s own gardens.
