There is a unique, a rare combination in Sykia which makes for real holidays if you are coming from a big city: a pine forest and a more than 3 kilometer long beach. The pine forest creates shade for you if you are enjoying the sea and is a perfect place to go walking with the stroller or learning to cycle. The pebble beach and the clear sea are excellent to refresh yourself and of course to swim for a long long time! Sykia has a playground for children, while in nearby Melissi there is an indoor playground (Mabakita) and in nearby Xylokastro an open-air amusement park.
