Yet it is not crowded. A shame, because it is an incredibly interesting and virtually unspoiled place with a rich history. The fact that it is not so touristy is mainly because it is a bit more difficult to get there. Sidyma cannot be reached by car, so you will have to hike quite a bit to get there. Also, in terms of history, little is known about Sidyma, so it is not always mentioned in documents about this time.
