Tips for the Naxos–Sikinos Ferry
- The smell of diesel and engine exhaust is stronger at the stern in summer heat; if you are sensitive to it, choose a bow-facing seat or the upper deck.
- Padlocking your main bag adds a layer of deterrence against opportunistic interference even though it is not a guarantee of security.
- In Sikinos, the double hilltop settlement of Chora – comprising the fortress village of Kastro and the adjacent Chorio – offers a wonderfully authentic Cycladic experience, with a Folklore Museum and traditional tavernas serving local dishes with capers. The port of Alopronia below is a sandy bay with a handful of traditional waterfront tavernas and a calm, unhurried atmosphere.
