Greece
Schoinousa
A small, serene island in the Cyclades archipelago of Greece known for its unspoiled beaches, traditional villages, and laid-back atmosphere.
Tips from the community
Cue the Small Cyclades. This archipelago in the heart of the Aegean is often hailed as the only authentic corner of the central Greek isles left. And that’s precisely what you get in Schinoussa. A tiny little marina settlement welcomes you off the boat from Naxos. Take some time to sip a coffee and meet the local taverna chefs there (ask about the fresh fish of the day!). Then, scramble up the path to the main town of Chora. Tight-knit and timeless, it’s a pint-sized center with cobbled streets that bloom with buckets of wild herbs and plane trees. For swimming, Psili Ammos beckons with pink-tinged sands and a turquoise lagoon on the hidden side of the island.
