Bay Wonder

The big sunny day that had been forecast for Sikinos finally arrived and looked perfect for the big walk – from the Kastro all the way west to Malta Bay, said by some to be the finest spot on the island.

As this picture shows, it's a dramatic place. And though much of the hike there, is on a good and straightforward path, the descent (and later ascent) to the bay is over steep and rocky terrain with no clear way marked – a challenge, one might say.

Two peaceful hours spent on this deserted beach looking across the sea to Ios were well worth the five hours spent getting there and back. And the day's exertions made tea and biscuits back at the Kastro all the more wonderful.
