Sifnaikos (also known as Sunset Beach) is in a pretty bay still further west, where the water is just as shallow and warm. It is possible to continue walking to the right of the bay around several rocky headlands to find some small two-person sandy bays. This beach is very close to the edge of the town. Although correspondents have described it as “totally nude” (rating it at 97%) it was deserted when I visited. More recent reports suggest that this beach is now totally textile.

A report from September 2006 says this is a ‘pretty’ enough location, but we thought rather a scruffy beach. Totally deserted, and my contributors thought the description given in Frewin Poffley’s Greek Island Hopping quite apt – ‘….windswept and with an abandoned air, it is the place for contemplating the meaning of life (and what one is doing with it) and for quietly drowning oneself if one isn’t happy with the conclusions’……! Oh dear.
