About Schinoussa
Schinoussa is one of the Small Cyclades, smaller and quieter than even neighboring Koufonisia, with a resident population of a few hundred. Its tiny Chora sits on a hill with wide views over surrounding islets, and life revolves around a handful of family tavernas.
Beaches like Tsigouri and Livadi are small, sandy and largely undeveloped, reachable on foot from the Chora.

Tips
- Walk between the Chora and nearby beaches — distances are short and the island is easy on foot.
- Bring cash; card payments aren't always available at the smaller tavernas.
- Combine Schinoussa with Koufonisia and Iraklia via the Small Cyclades ferry line.
