Sikinos is located between Ios and Folegandros.
It is one of the last unexplored terrains of the Cyclades.
238 people live on its 41 sq.km. They are open, welcoming, caring
for their land and they are relentless in teasing, outstanding in
dancing or singing, and tireless of having fun.
The plan of the municipality for the development of Sikinos is focused
on three important points:
preservation
of the island's character and protection of the
natural, built and social environment
through sustainable development
encouragement of alternative tourism (cultural tourism, eco
tourism, trekking etc)
establishment of modern infrastructure for the
improvement of the everyday life (environmental works, new technologies
etc)
Not to be missed
trekking through the mainland, following the footpaths
discovering the small beaches
of the island
participating in one of the local
religious festivals, especially off-season
Sikinos Festivities
-the colourful summer cultural festival of the island- every August
meeting the islanders.
Talk to them and you will discover a different Sikinos
going sightseeing
in small groups or alone. Ideally, choose a special time of the
day: dawn, sunset or, even better, by the moonlight. Unfortunately,
It is highly unlikely for the summer visitors to see landscapes
like this,
or even this.
However, if one happens to be at the right place and at the right
time he may come across images like this.
