Fantastic stay at Galini Rooms on Sikinos. From the moment I arrived on the island I felt in good hands. The room was very clean and modern. The pickup at the port was an excellent touch. The location is close to everything you need in the port including the excellent local beach that has umbrellas on a first come first served basis. The Chora (and other areas of the island starting mid June) is easily reached by the local bus service. I would highly recommend this property😀

Please note that this review is for what is described as a 'standard' room, not the 'studios'. Pluses: - Close to the small harbour, mini market and couple of taverns. Bear in mind, though, that there is no step-free access. - Spacious room and bathroom. - Relatively quiet mini fridge. - Super clean. - Maria, who cleaned the rooms, was always very friendly and helpful.

Minuses: - The description on Booking.com does not make clear that the 'standard' rooms are in a completely separate building and of a very different standard from the studios. - No shutters, no blackout curtains. It's so bright, that you can read a book with the available curtain drawn during daytime. - No screen to keep the several mosquitoes out. - No shade on the very plain balcony. - Indifferent view: the balcony overlooks a nondescript plot of land with a few trees, power lines and a plain low building, behind which you can see the sea and harbour. Not quite a 'sea view'. The most eye-catching aspect of the view is the rubbish that obviously no-one had bothered to pick up, including offcuts from the plastic pipes used for the air-con units. - The 'coffee machine' is, in fact, a Nespresso machine. Two capsules are provided, and that's it; after that, you'll need to either pay a small fortune to buy your own supply from the very expensive mini market, or to have your coffee at the sole bar in Alopronoia (Marconi). - The 'dining table' is used as a countertop. Don't expect to use it as a dining table, unless you can make space for your plate and enjoy looking at a bare wall. - You'll need to wash up in the smallish bathroom basin, and improvise a dish drainer, as there's nothing of the sort there. I must say, I found washing up a pain - not my idea of a holiday. - The shower screen would have been perfect had it had a door. Instead, there's a screen just on one side, so you'll need to use the mop and bucket after every shower, or risk inviting mosquitoes, which love little pools of water. - Although the person I spoke to was initially very polite and friendly, both my enquiry about the opening times of Episkopi, and, worse, about when the people-carrier was going to take us to the harbour to catch the return boat, went unanswered. We were left to drag our luggage ourselves.
