We went to Schinoussa only for one day. There are small ferries from Naxos to Schinoussa and back every day. This is a nice island for walking. We walked from the port to Chora and it took us about 30 minutes. The landscape is wild, indeed. You could see large areas with yellow herbs, a few greenery and some cattles.
The locals breed cattles and make cheese. They are very friendly, the locals. It is amazing that you can find the friendliest people in the most deserted islands. We met a few old people on our way to Chora and asked them if this was the right street. They didn't speak a word English but they seemed to udnerstand what we were telling them. I loved those old but proud figures. Most residents in Schinoussa were old but seemed happy to me.
Chora is another traditional village like the typical villages you can find in Cyclades. On our way back to the port, we swam in the beach close to the port while we were waiting for the ferry. That is all we know about the beaches of Schinoussa, we didn't go to any of the beaches you present here, guys. Maybe next time we go to Naxos, we stay more in Schinoussa.
