SCHINOUSSA TRAVEL GUIDE

Located south of Naxos, Schinoussa Greece belongs to the Small Cyclades island group. Its ideal location makes it a perfect base for island hopping to the nearby islands of Koufonisia, Donoussa, Iraklia, and Naxos. Just like the rest of the Small Cyclades islands, Schinoussa is a remote paradise, ideal for those who want to relax away from the hustle and the bustle.

Chora (or Panagia), the main village and capital of the island, is where the most facilities, taverns, shops, and Schinoussa hotels are located. Around Chora, some little villages have managed to keep their traditional character throughout the years. Whitewashed houses, blue-domed chapels, and narrow alleys, combined with the extraordinary natural setting create a lively, yet relaxing atmosphere!

Schinoussa beaches have nothing in common with their overcrowded Cycladic counterparts. They are secluded and unspoiled, boasting a raw natural landscape and enticing cobalt waters. Most of the beaches in Schinoussa are easily accessible by foot from Chora, while others are hard to reach. Nevertheless, there’s luscious swimming to be done on all Schinoussa beaches!

As for things to do in Schinoussa, the best are swimming, nature exploration and hiking, thanks to the island’s unique geology.

Schinoussa is the best place to enjoy relaxing holidays without the hustle and the bustle of tourism!
