Sikinos


Sikinos, one of the cycladic islands, has maintained all of its island character, and this adds to its attractions for those in search of peace and an authentic atmosphere. Covering an area of 41 sq. Kilometres, Sikinos is at a distance of 113 nautical miles from Piraeus. The island has been inhabited since ancient times, as has been proved by the excavations made in the Episkopi district.

The only road on Sikinos connects Alopronia, the island's harbour, with Hora or Kastro, one of the most beautiful villages anywhere in the Cyclades. There are fine stone mansions to admire, and a church of Our Lady 'Pantanassa'. The Zoodohos Pigi monastery, built on the peak of a rock, is more reminiscent of an impregnable castle from a distance. Like in all isolated Cycladic islands, the local religious feasts are celebrated with great enthusiasm. There are a few rooms for rent on Sikinos, all of them in Hora. Traditional Greek cuisine can be found at the island's restaurants and tavernas.
