Sikinos Local Products, Greece: Guide to the local products of Sikinos

 

 

Sikinos Local Products: Information about the local products of SikinosSince the ancient times, Sikinos has been popular for its wine. In fact, Sikinos was earlier called "Inoi", a word derived from the Greek word for wine (inos). The locals in Sikinos have been cultivating wine since time immemorial. The indigenous wine of Sikinos is the favourite of tourists.

Apart from wine, here you will get another local drink called "raki", which reminds tsipouro a bit. Sikinos does not offer much variety in agricultural products.

The rocky and scrubby land is not ideal for agricultural activities. The only other products cultivated are olive, honey and fig. The villagers are expert in collecting and preserving pure honey.

Sikinos Reviews
 
Some of the villagers earn their living through livestock farming. Hence, you can get delicious locally made cheese, red wine and pasteli (a sweet of sesame seeds baked in honey). Most of the villagers are involved in maritime activities to make their living. That is why the islanders can enjoy a good variety of fresh seafood.

The villagers have the thorough knowledge about the sea season and they have developed their own tactics to catch the best fish at the best time. For example, during the period from August to December, the villagers hunt for squids every night using a special kind of bait called "kaftero".
