Sikinos

Greece

Sikinos is a small island in the Cyclades.

The monastery

The winery

Swim-eat-drink-relax. Sikinos is also good for hiking.

There is one shop in the harbour, all others are in Kastro.

Tiropites are available at the bakery in Kastro and at the harbour at Lucas'

Don't go to Sikinos for the food. It is average and there is no fresh fish or seafood on the island. Choices are in general somewhat limited.

There are 6 restaurants on Sikinos (2010):

Alopronia(harbour):

  • Meltemi: decent Greek food.
  • Lucas: standard tourist food, but good souvlaki.
  • Pizzaria "Rock": locals say it's delicious, but does one go to Greece to eat pizza?

Kastro:

  • To Steki tou Garbi: Greek food and grillhouse.
  • Klimataria: Greek food. Mostly nice, but the melitzanosalata was made with smoke flavour!

Ag. Giorgos beach:

  • There is also a Restaurant here. They don't have much but what they have is good.

There are a few very nice and cosy cafe's in Kastro. Try rakomelo and the local wine. In the harbour all cafe's sell you water instead of bringing a glass with the coffee, which in Greece indicates a tourist-trap. The cafe's in Kastro at least usually ask if you want a glass or a bottle of water.

There is free WiFi in most cafe's and in the community centre.
