It is a quaint, remote cove, with no shore, ideal for underwater fishing and trekking. In the old days the cove and the nearby Marousou Cave, were served as a shelter for pirates. Sifneiko is situated 2,2 km. away from the capital, twenty-five minutes by foot. The road is half-way asphalt, half-way dirt and ends to a path. The access becomes rather difficult at the last 800 m. The nearest shops are found in the Mersini harbour.
