Since 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. |
