On the water · Sifnos
The Sifnos coastline
Close to home: Chrysopigi, the boat-only cove of Fykiada, and the islet of Kitriani — with a sunset run if you'd rather go late.
You don't have to leave the island to see why a boat is worth it. The south coast of Sifnos holds Chrysopigi, the monastery on its rock, and coves like Fykiada that you can only reach on foot or by water. A La Mer run the Sifnos coastline as a relaxed half-day — and, if you'd rather go late, as a sunset trip past Kitriani.
The route
- 01Out from Platis Gialos marina
- 02Along the south coast past Chrysopigi
- 03Swim at Fykiada and the hidden coves
- 04Past Kitriani islet — sunset option on the way back
What you'll see
Chrysopigi monastery from the water, the boat-only cove of Fykiada, and the little uninhabited island of Kitriani across the bay.
Who it suits
First-timers, families, and anyone wanting a short, calm trip close to home — or a sunset run instead of a full day.
Good to know
Can you do a sunset boat trip from Sifnos?
Yes — A La Mer run the Sifnos coast late in the day so you're on the water for the sunset past Kitriani. Ask for the sunset option when you book.
What is Fykiada?
A quiet, boat-only beach on the south of Sifnos — one of the coves this trip is built around.
