Hiking on Sikinos

The island's easiest hike is the one described in the text about Episkopi. The nicest walk begins and ends in Chorio and is also easy to hike. Pass through the village and walk to the ruins above the village, from there you follow the old donkey path until you come to an old house that is not ruined. There, by a tree, turn left and walk down the ravine. After a while you will reach a spring with water. Then turn left and continue back towards Chorio again. The closer the village you get, the more beautiful the view becomes. The hike takes approximately 1 ½ hours.
