Getting around on Schinoussa

Just as on Schinoussa's neighbouring islands of Iraklia, Koufonissi and Donoussa, almost everyone choose to get around on foot. It is not surprising, since the distances are short and there are few roads. It takes between 10-15 minutes to walk to the nearest beach, Tsigouri, and it takes about 45 minutes to walk to Psili Amos, which is farthest away.

BY SCOOTER AND CAR

It is not possibly to rent a car, on the other hand it is possible to rent a scooter. The scooter rental place lies at the end of Chora, and is only open during high season. I think it is quite unnecessary to rent a scooter, since there is almost nowhere to drive.

BY BUS AND TAXI

There are no taxis, but there is a bus is in high season. The rest of the year you must arrange the transport between the port and the Chora on your own. Either you walk up to the village, it is about 1.5 kilometres, or you go with someone of the room owners. In other words, it is smartest to pre-book your accommodation.

If you book a hotel at Schinoussa in advance, you will be picked up by car at the port.
