Situated about 3km from the main village, Kimolos Port is found on the most southwestern island of the Cyclades Island group. With just under 1000 people, Kimolos is very small and is generally occupied by tourists, especially during the summer months, creating a lively atmosphere around the island. During the winter months the island is known to be particularly quiet, the only jobs available tend to be in hospitality, such as hotel concierges and restaurant staff. Considering the small size, the island still hosts a few attractions; a medieval castle, water spas and museums are all well worth a visit. The port itself is primarily used for connecting passengers to other islands of the Cyclades group, most of which are in relatively close proximity to each other. Hellenic Seaways and Zante Ferries provide the crossings, both of which are respected and reliable companies that are convenient for visitors to travel stress free. Whilst at the port, visitors can sample the local food at the café sitting right next to the ferry terminal. For travel to the port, a small bus service operates in the area, running to and from the port and travelling to popular beaches and resorts on the island.
Sikinos is quintessentially Greek; whitewashed house shine underneath the powerful rays of the Mediterranean sun and luxurious beaches decorate the coastline in a wave of golden sands and tropical foliage. Bouncing clubs and exuberant bars are replaced by quaint cafes and picturesque walking trails; Sikinos may not be the ideal destination for partygoers, but if you’re looking for a relaxing time amid peaceful surroundings – it’s the place to be. Comprised of just two small villages – Chora and Kastro – the permanent population houses just over 300 people, showcasing the heavily tourist focussed atmosphere. Head there in the summer months and it will embody a hive of families, friends and couples, enjoying the tranquillity. The whole island affords an assembly of looking spots, offering breathtaking views of the stunning landscape, but there are seldom places more beautiful than the charming harbour. Small, colourful yachts line the docks, resting near cool, welcoming tavernas and cafes typically serving delicious seafood fresh from the waters. The pristine paradise of Sikinos has enough natural beauty to satisfy any type of visitor, however, for an insight into the cultural history of the island, The Temple of Episkopi and The Monastery of Zoodohos are impressive pieces of architecture.
A bus service covers the entirety of the island, running fairly regularly throughout the day. There are also motorcycles for hire, and the obvious choice of walking is popular.
