Episkopi is the area of the Aegean island of Sikinos of the Cyclades complex, where the ancient city of Sikinos was built.

Episkopi is situated 4.5 km away from the modern town of Sikinos. Among the ruins of its ancient Ionian colony, is the temple of Pythian Apollo which dates from the 3rd Century BC. Near the old temple is the Church of the Dormition of Theotokos which itself is pretty old, dating from the 5th Century AD.
