Flowers, local music and a balcony above Sikinos Chora
Anemelo spreads through a flower-filled lane in Kastro and up to a small balcony with long views over Sikinos and the Aegean. Its personality is deliberately broad: coffee and breakfast in the gentler hours, spoon sweets and cake after a walk, then cocktails, local spirits and Greek music as Chora settles into evening. The room feels collected over time rather than designed in one sweep, which suits the island.
Look upstairs before taking the first open table; the terrace earns the climb when the weather is clear. Anemelo works best as a pause with no fixed ending, especially for visitors who prefer a local soundtrack to international lounge music. It is not exclusively a cocktail bar, and the food menu is café-sized. Prices and portions have drawn some disagreement, so order for the setting and atmosphere rather than expecting a bargain meal.
What visitors say
Google and Tripadvisor visitors most often praise Anemelo's flowers, upper terrace, welcoming team, cocktails and mix of traditional and contemporary Greek music. Coffee, breakfast, yoghurt with fruit and the relaxed central position also receive positive mention. Recent accounts continue to describe it as a comfortable meeting point rather than a legacy listing surviving on old reviews.
A smaller critical strand considers some omelettes, crepes or desserts expensive for their portion and reports occasional carelessness in food execution. Earlier comments also found simple snacks too slight. These concerns relate more to the café menu than the evening atmosphere. Our take: use Anemelo for a balcony drink, music and an unhurried Chora evening; choose a taverna first if a substantial, value-led dinner is the priority.
