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.
Primarily known as a ferry hub, Paros has remained under the radar among the hype of other popular Greek holiday destinations. Though its relative anonymity is quickly coming to an end; warm and welcoming rural villages surround the alluring capital city, offering visitors the chance to indulge in Greek cuisine in beautiful surroundings. The harbour still attracts the biggest crowds, especially in the spring time when the island is less busy, the weather is pleasant and the water become slightly warmer. The shoreline is constructed of unique rock formations and golden sands; Kolymbithres Beach is perhaps the most aesthetically interesting area across the coast, which provides unmatched views of the endless azure blue seas engulfing the smaller neighbouring islands. Away from the waters, myriad of historical and cultural sites are dotted about the island, providing a fascinating insight into the history of Paros. Panayia Ekatondapiliani Cathedral is typically at the top of the itinerary for most tourists, and for an extended look at the archaic architecture, head to Parikia Town which is host to many cultural landmarks.
Car and motorbike rental companies are fairly cheap throughout the year, though the prices increase in the summer months. In terms of public transport, a bus service operates frequently throughout the towns, and are generally quite affordable.
