Sikinos - Town Attractions Khóra

From the anchorage of Aloprónia (sandy bay), on the southeast coast of Síkinos, it is an hour's climb (2.5km/1.5mi; mules can be hired) up a wooded gorge to the chief place on the island, Síkinos, a typical Cycladic village, with the picturesque Kástro quarter within the walls of its medieval castle. On the hillside above this is the main village, Khorió. Higher up are the ruins of the Zoodókhos Piyí monastery.
