Sikinos

Where to stay: Lucas Studios 
The Lucas family run a couple of small apartment buildings as well as a taverna. Try and get into the A Studios, whose simple rooms are right on the sea. All of them have large balconies for enjoying the view, as well as small kitchens.

Where to eat: To Steki tou Garmpi 
The Lucas’s taverna is good, and may be one of the few options out of season. It’s also worth making the short trip to the island capital (named Chora, would you believe) for this traditional taverna that has its own barrel wine.

Don’t miss
The island is tiny and quiet, but still manages to hide some good beaches and worthwhile walks. To get to some of the more isolated beaches, such as Malta, it is worth trying to hire a kaiki, or Greek fishing boat. As with all things, the Lucas family should be able to help.
