Sikinos (4K) / Greece Travel Vlog

[@dimitridivolis5605]

Thank you for shedding light on our wonderful island paradise! I am born and raised in Canada but my grandparents immigrated here from Sikinos in the early 60's. During busy season there can be up to 3500 people on the island (many foreigners own homes there) but during low season you will only find anywhere from 100-300 people permanently living on the island. The winery is called Manalis and is owned by my uncle George Manalis and his son Loucas. The restaurant by the port in Alopronia is owned by my grandmother's brother and his wife. I went to visit a few years ago with my family and can't wait to go back! A very quiet, beautiful little island I am lucky to have experienced. Once again, thank you for sharing this and safe travels!

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Wow, what great insights! The Manalis winery was such a beautiful place to watch the sunset with a glass of wine in the hand. It is great that you have so much family there, must be a special thing for you to go to visit Sikinos. Thank you for watching.

[@georgesegredos8615]

Thank you for taking time to share the video, quite precise picture of the serene, charming and authentic character of the island. My family s origin is from Sikinos, keep coming back every summer for 33 consecutive years!

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you very much for watching. Safe travels, always!

[@nikolay1963]

thanks for your magnificent video

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you very much for watching. :-)

[@Muswell]

I've been to about 24 islands, but not been to Sikinos. Thank you for this. Love it.

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Sikinos is wonderful, you should add it to your list. Thank you for watching.

[@FifiLagoona]

Amazing quality of light! Beautiful video, thank you. Have been to Folegandros but thinking now we ought to add Sikinos to the list!

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you very much for watching and for your kind comment. Sikinos is indeed worth the visit.

[@yiannisparaschos8031]

This was an excellent 18' video, illustrating the tranquility of Sikinos landscape and the spectacular views. Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you very much for your kind comment and for watching. Very kind of you.

[@rrocketman]

[@marcheur6]

Absolutely beautiful island and romantic with spectacular sunset!!

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you very much for watching, the sunsets were indeed spectacular.

[@PRADIER1]

Magnifique découverte , ça fait rêver , merci pour cette vidéo !

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Merci beaucoup. Très belle semaine!

[@oficretefc647]

Hello from Crete island and city of Chania, I enjoyed your video, I love Sikinos!

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you very much, we are happy you enjoyed the video.

[@keand781]

This place looks amazing!! Great video guys!!

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Yes, Sikinos is a fantastic island, usually not very known, which makes it even more attractive. Thank you for watching.

[@janetdavidson6576]

Thank you for another great video! I love Sikinos and have stayed there twice, both times in Alopronia. On our first trip we stayed in a wonderful apartment on the rocks above the sea and it was lovely to listen to the little waves under our window at night. The views from Kastro and Chorio and the monastery are really stunning - nicer than Santorini, I think, but so much quieter.

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you for watching. We really enjoyed discovering Sikinos and it was a beautiful island with great scenery. Alopronia was really quiet too at this time of the season.

[@instantlifehacks4146]

Love your all vlogs. Keep going 🖤

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you very much for your kind comment and for watching.

[@antonelladestefano7686]

great video| I missed twice Sikinos when I were in Ios but next time for sure I will not miss it anymore :)

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Sikinos is indeed worth a visit. Thank you for watching.

[@ChrisMizo]

Being by the water is heaven to me period especially how beautiful it is 😁

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Yes, the water is so beautiful especially in the Mediterranean. Thank you for watching.

Beautiful couple

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you very much.

[@thanosbikos]

Beautiful vlog! Thanks for sharing your experience. I am from Greece but haven't been to Sikinos. This video inspired me to visit it. Also I will follow the channel. I really like the way you present the place, in a natural and friendly way. It is like listening to good friends talking about their vacation. I poured a glass of wine an enjoyed it. I wish 2022 finds you happy, safe from covid and ready to explore new places and share the experience with us. Thank you!

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you very much for your kind comment. All the best for a new year of safe travels, hopefully with new contents soon. Thank you .

[@TourismosTravelGuru]

I must admit I love the way you see things. Very well done, new friend here! 😊 ❤️🙋🏻‍♂️

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you very much for your kind comment and for watching. Welcome to our channel!

[@nickpunta3450]

Excellent video! Thank you!

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you very much, and thank you for watching.

[@franciscomunoz7366]

Another spectacular video, wawww a long time I have not seen you! Greece is one of my favorite country, I think also you lpve it, because you have returned many times. I have not been in that beautiful island, hopes next year to go this one and Folegandros and Milos. I was in Turkey at the same time, when you were in Greece! Maybe some time we will meet somewhere in Greece or Turkey! I always enjoy so much your videos ! Auf wiedersehen! Friends!

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you very much Francisco, it is good to have a friend back here. What a coincidence that we were in the same area at the same time. We hope that next time we will coincide to meet. Thank you so much for watching and safe travels, always!

[@valenx6737]

Sikinos Is one of my favourite islands, I visited It in combination with Anàfi , exactly like you👍. I'm so glad you liked it! For real Greece connaisseurs only😜

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Yes, the combo Anafi - Sikinos is a good one. We really loved both islands and it is true, it is mainly for the connoisseurs. Thank you for watching.

[@karinflucke7317]

Sehr schöne Insel,schöne Häuser,alles sehr sauber.Zu der Zeit kein Touri in Sicht.Gefällt mir.LG

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Wirklich eine sehr schöne Insel und auch tolle Strände. Liebe Grüsse

[@marydivolis6606]

What a wonderful picture you paint. Both my parents are from Sikinos and the young man below is my nephew. My parents moved to Canada for a better life ( I know it's funny ) and my brother and i were born there. In 1969 we visited to meet our grand parents and fell in love with this little paradise. Recently my mother gave me a tiny little house in Alopronia which my husband and i turned into a 2 storey home for our family and friends to enjoy. When you sit at the Meltemi cafe and look across and up, the second to last house at the top should have a Canadian and Greek flag outside, this means we are there and would love to have coffee with you, lol. Beautiful video, and great commentary. Thank you and come again. Be safe. Maria Divolis Limniatis

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you very much for your kind comment. We would love to go back and check if the flag is there, so we can have a coffee together. Sikinos for a beautiful find for us, a very special place. You are very lucky to have a house there, something that we would love to have too. We are deeply in love with the Greek islands. Stay safe and healthy!

[@mariamkhalifabris8847]

Beautiful vlog, if you have to recommend one island in Greece which one would it be, I don’t like popular places.

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you for watching. Every Cycladic island is somewhat popular, especially during the season and all of them are very different. From the least popular ones, Koufunissi and Amorgos are real favourites alongside with Anafi and Sikinos. But even Naxos, although very popular, is a wonderful island. Safe travels, always!

[@mariamkhalifabris8847]

Thank you for your information....pls keep posting vlogs

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

@@mariamkhalifabris8847 Thank you, we will do our best.

[@paulc2106]

Another great Vlog. I've not yet been to Sikinos but this has definitely made me feel I need to include it on my next Greek trip in 2020 ☺ 👍 Thank you.

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you for watching. Sikinos is definitely worth the trip. Maybe it is a bit busier during the season.

[@wuerzelburg]

Water in the quite dry cycladic Islands is scarce. The island does not nt have rivers etc. So they try to save as much water as they can. Maybe that is why the served the cake in a plastic plate with a plastic fork.

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you for your comment. It is certainly true what you say about the scarceness of the water. Many islands have desalination factories today which is a solution to the water scarceness issue. Also, there are other options than plastic (which will never disappear from nature) such as pam leaf plates, or corn starch forks and other utensils. Let's do what we can to stop polluting.

[@wuerzelburg]

@@TheWayWeSawIt Indeed there other materials available that do not pollute. Unfortunately they are quite more expensive than plastic. But if I'm not wrong disposable plastics will be banned in greece also. Already supermarkets are not selling plastic straws.

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

That is certainly a good thing.

[@woutvanderhorst189]

I was there in 2015 begining off june and everything was all most closed on Apolopronia, and there was a storm, but i like Sikinos.

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Yes, the season seems to start quite late there. Thank you for watching.

[@moremusic2]

Nice vlog and good to see our little island present here. I even saw one of our cats in the begining of the video, Irene and her daughter, Niki.❤️ You should come back though cause you've missed the treasure of Episkopi, the ancient Mausoleum of the Roman Era (250 aD) that still stands there, functioning as a church where archaeologists discovered last year the remains of the woman that it was built for. One of a kind (please google Episkopi Sikinos) Till next time, then Stay safe.

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you for your kind comment and for watching. We really loved our stay there and would love to spend much more time on this island. A good thing now is that there is another reason to come back! We did miss Episkopi so next time we will make sure we visit it.

[@stephencarter9570]

Thanks guys. Must go there.mykonos has been ruined

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

You are welcome, Sikinos is indeed worth the trip. Thank you for watching.

[@RoseWell]

Hi there thanks for this video. Very beautiful island ! As two French women disappeared there 2 months ago do u think is it possible that they fell ? because I looked at many pictures on google and I don't have the impression that we can fall from a height… moreover, after numerous searches, no trace of the two women... except the vegetation is not dense... maybe you know a dense place?

[@irisgoldfinger1398]

Love your video

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you very much for watching

[@annatraveler]

Very nice video!!!

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

[@xenofonpoulopoulos2550]

What month you visited the island? Great video!

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you for watching. We visited this island in September.

[@taki2003]

very nice! well done!

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you very much for your comment and for watching.

[@ertaskwn]

What do you think about the beaches of Sikinos are they any better than Folegandros' ?

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you for your question. In Folegandros the beaches have probably a little bit bigger pebbles and Sikinos has more finer sand. Also, in Folegandros, depending on where you are staying, you will need transportation to get to the beaches. But both have very beautiful and calm settings.

[@ertaskwn]

@@TheWayWeSawIt 💓

[@KurtandSara]

The island looks so beautiful and a great place for a relaxing and peaceful trip! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Yes, it is really peaceful and a great place for hiking. Thank you for watching.

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you very much, and thank you for watching.

[@christinenat98]

Beautiful vlog, i went to sikinos last year and i loved it !!! After all, do you prefer Sikinos or Anafi ? Please let me know !🙂

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you for watching. The islands of Sikinos and Anafi are very different, if you look for nature, hiking and intimate island life, Anafi is probably nicer, Sikinos is a bit more developed and has more options where to stay. Also, there are probably more people on Sikinos as it is easier to reach.
