    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.

    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.
