About Renting a Car at Sifnos Kamares

Kamares is Sifnos's main port and natural starting point for car rental on the island. From the village you can reach Apollonia in just 8 km and the beautiful ceramic workshops in Artemonas in 9 km. Two rental companies offer cars directly in Kamares.

Kamares is located in a deep bay on Sifnos's west coast and is the island's liveliest village in summer. The beach in Kamares is family-friendly and the village has several tavernas and cafés along the waterfront. From here, narrow mountain roads lead up to the island's other villages.

Drive early in the morning to Kastro (10 km) to avoid tourists and experience the medieval village in peace. Always park outside the narrow village streets - many town centres are not accessible by car. Check ferry times if you plan to leave the car and take a day trip to neighbouring Serifos.

Are the roads on Sifnos suitable for beginners? The roads are narrow and winding but manageable at low speed. A small car is strongly recommended.

Can I drive to all beaches by car? Most beaches are accessible by car, but some require a short walk of 10-15 minutes from the nearest car park. What does parking cost in Kamares?

Parking is free in Kamares and in most other parts of Sifnos.

We compare prices from all major providers at Sifnos Kamares so you can see the total cost upfront - including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
