We have been to Sissi several times but not in the last 5 years, so it was great to find Alan & Irene running this great bar! They are the most relaxed laid back people you could wish to meet. Alan's Sunday quiz is a must!! It's a great place to watch the sunsets each evening and beautiful views of... More

The couple running the bar are friendly and laid back. The view of the sun setting over the harbour is wonderful. A very chilled atmosphere with an eclectic mix of music. Open during the afternoons to escape the heat of the sun under the veranda or in the evenings until late. I've spent many a lovely afternoon enjoying the gorgeous... More

The Hemingway bar is a absolute must when going to Sissi, the owners Alan and Irene are lovely and create a friendly, relaxing and welcoming environment. A word of warning though time runs away from you at Hemingway's and before you know it is silly o'clock in the morning and your still out on the razz! Needless to say we... More

We visited Sissi in late June/early July of this year and Hemingways was very quickly adopted as our " local ". With reasonable prices, great music and the fantastic company of hosts Irene & Alan who seem to have got the mix of everything spot on. No frills, what you see is what you get and it works perfectly. Beautifully... More

Great place to have a pre dinner drink and watch the fantastic sunset. Ex-pats who make you feel very welcome in a relaxed, laid back atmosphere. Good price for drinks, great music and met some other brits there both holidaying and other ex-pats who provided some great information about what to do and where to go on the island. Would... More

Alan and Irene are very friendly and helpful with local knowledge. A great bar overlooking the harbour with a fantastic sunset every night. Music choice is varied and not obtrusive a great place to relax,some interesting chat and have a evening drink (good choice of cocktails)after a meal? What more could you want?

Been to this Bar for the last three years and it just gets better. The Sunsets are the best and the music just brilliant. The very friendly and laid back hosts, Irene and Alan ( The Comatose Kids ) make you very welcome and provide some fine wines, cocktails and beers. Going Back in September and will gladly buy them...

One of the nice things about staying in Sissi, after an enjoyable day and a good evening meal, is to round off the evening with a few drinks in a wonderful bar run by an extremely friendly and likeable couple of ex-Pats. I am talking about Hemingway's if you haven't figured it out by now! It was part of our... More

This bar sits just above Sissi harbor and is the most laid back in the village. Its no frills but very comfortable and no with pretensions, what you see is what you get. On an evening with a drink in hand we sat and watched some of the most amazing sunsets. Allan and Irene are easy to be with and... More
