Experience this spot in Schinoussa. Great spot for swimming and paddling, water skiing, wake boarding, surfing, supping, body surfing and body boarding. Schinoussa is a small Greek island located in the Aegean Sea, south of Naxos and east of Ios. The island is known for its beautiful beaches, crystal clear waters, and rugged hillsides. The landscape is mostly barren, with rocky terrain and sparse vegetation, but there are some areas of cultivated farmland and olive groves. The shoreline features secluded coves and sandy beaches, and there are several hiking trails that lead to panoramic viewpoints and traditional villages. The island is relatively undeveloped and has a laid-back, relaxed atmosphere, making it a popular destination for travelers seeking a quiet, tranquil escape.
