Why Sikinos
Information On SikinosSikinos belongs to Cyclades Cyclades and it is located between the islands Folegandros and Ios. It is a small and dry mountainous island with long narrow shape, on which the longest route is merely 8 kilometers. Sikinos is a quiet island for people who seek relaxation and tranquility. Sikinos has managed to preserve its traditional character, without being altered by tourism. There are only two settlements on Sikinos, Chora and Alopronia, where the island's small harbor is found. Sikinos does not have many beaches and in addition to that only three are accessible by road. However, the hospitality of the locals, the scenic Chora with the great view and the traditional flavors will more than make up for that. On Sikinos you can buy exceptional local products like honey and wine which is expected as the ancient name of the island was Inoi (=wine land) and its ancient coin had a bunch of grapes on one side and a bee on the other. On Sikinos there is a gas station and an ATM machine.

You can get to the rest of the beaches either by paths which require a lot of walking or by boat that depart from Alopronia.
