I had never heard of Schinoussa until Greeka proposed it to me in a newsletter. Thanks you, guys, thanks you so much! I had some really relaxing 4 days there, this July. We had already decided to go to Naxos and thought why not visit another island?
Schinoussa is only 1 hour from Naxos and there are ferries two or three times a day. We first spend four days in Schinoussa and then 10 days in Naxos. I can tell you this: we needed to relax after a tiring working winter and we trully did! We slept a lot, laid on the beach for many hours (there were few people around) and we could stay on the beach as long as we wanted. Few beaches had taverns around, most taverns were at the port and in Chora.
Our apartment was in Tsigouri. The owners were so nice and kind that they even gave us their bikes for one day to see the island!! They could speak English fluently because they had lived in the US for thirty years and when they pensioned they came back to this beautiful island to live nicely the years to come.
We went swimming in Tsigouri, Livadi and Lioliou, all three beaches had very clean water. Distances in Schinoussa are small and you can go on foot, but certainly a motorbike or a bke would be better. Walking under the hot sun is very tiring. Ask your hotel you give you a pick up when you arrive n Schinoussa, have in mind that there is no bus there. I wish you to have a great time, like we did!
