Beaches of Schinousa
Despite its small size, the intense partition of the coasts endowed Schinoussa
with more than 15 beaches ideal for swimming and sunbathing. The most important
of them are the following:
Alygaria
One of the most beautiful sandy
beaches in the island. It opens into three successive coves. (See Activities)
Livadi
It is only 10 minutes away from Chora on foot. Golden sandy beach of
250m with deep azure waters and shadow from tamarix trees. There is a
restaurant along with accommodation lodges around.
Lioliou
Small, wide beach, surrounded by rocks and trees, with shallow clear
waters.
Tsigouri
It is the most crowded beach of the island (even though this notion in Schinoussa
needs quotation marks!). It is only 0.5km south of Chora with a golden sand and
it is well protected from the weather conditions. It overlooks Feidousa,
Venetiko and Irakleia.
Psili Ammos
A famous and big sandy beach, which extends up to the surrounding hills.
Crystal waters, majestic landscape, but exposed to the northern winds.
Fykio
Small but fierce due to its rocks.
It is accessed from Psili Ammos, or through a path starting from the last
houses of Messaria leading to the beach after 20 minutes.
