Beach overall scores
Paralia Fikiada (South Aegean) is located outside the Vathy settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Sifnos island, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"The beach is absolutely stunning, and the hike to get there is pleasantly moderate, making it a must-see destination. You'll be greeted with authentic, unspoiled scenery and a peaceful atmosphere, as there aren't many people around. Keep in mind that there are no amenities or establishments nearby, so be sure to bring plenty of water and snacks for your trip."
Renzo Bianchetti
"The hike to this beach is totally worth it, but be prepared for a challenging climb in the last .4 miles. It's definitely not a walk in the park, but the reward at the end is well worth the effort. The trail is 1.25 miles long and takes about 35-45 minutes to get to the beach. The return trip takes about 40-50 minutes. Be sure to bring plenty of water, and I highly recommend..."
