The largest ferry port in the Mediterranean, Piraeus hosts over 20 million passengers a year, all passing through the busy port city that dominates the east coast. Piraeus is a city in its own right, yet few choose to spend over a day in the buzzing hub of shops, shipping offices and busy streets - those that do stay on the mainland tend to slide away into the allure of Athens’ city centre. The proximity to the capital, as well as the constant maritime traffic ensures that the city has enough to entertain tourists and the half a million local residents; the walk along the seafront promenade is a picturesque trail of flowers, trees and beautiful views – perfect for watching the ships sail along the crystal blue sea. Away from the port, Piraeus’ famous market attracts many visitors hoping to snag a bargain, before they move onto the shopping centres or embark on a sightseeing tour of the grand architecture. There are lesser known spots all over the bustling city, the most attractive being Zea Marina, a metropolis of restaurants, cafes and bars, typically adorned by workers and passengers who are winding down after a long day of travel.
The Cyclades is formed by incredibly beautiful islands, and Schinoussa may just be the most stunning of them all. Made up of two small villages, Schinoussa boasts a breathtaking landscape, comprising of endless mountainside, desolate beaches and naturally green valleys. Even amidst the onrush of tourism, the island still appears unaffected by the constant visitors; the streets are clean and the terrain exudes an authentic vibe. The harbour is particularly idyllic – the windless air creates a natural haven for mooring small boats in stunning surroundings. Like many Greek islands, the beaches hold much of the limelight for visitors; golden sands define the shoreline and azure blue waters often prove too tempting underneath the rays of the scorching sunshine. Psili Ammos Beach and Livadi Beach are the most popular, lined with beach bars along the perimeter and shops slightly more inland for any last minute purchases. To explore the surrounding water, boat tours are available for a relaxing experience amid beautiful scenery.
The island is fairly compact so can be traversed on foot. For the tired and weary, taxis are also readily available.
