About Kini
Kini is a small fishing village in a sandy bay on the west coast, across the island from Ermoupoli. It has a harbour of painted boats, a beach with tamarisk trees, a row of tavernas on the water, and a view straight west over the open sea. Islanders drive over in the evening for the sunset, which is why Kini is busiest at the hour when the rest of the island's beaches empty. A path over the headland leads north to the quieter bay of Delfini.
