Rental Car

how to get around

sifnos is a small island with a few car rental agencies and no uber (at least, such was the case in 2019) rental car the best option but most of the options are manual book ahead for automatic cars you will also need to get an international drivers license: https://www.aaa.com/vacation/idpf.html rental moped you can also rent a moped but you will need a us motorcycle license taxis there are probably not a lot of taxi's on the island so this is not a reliable option
