Latest reviews on Schinoussa's beaches

Ammos beach
10 René Dubois

When you step foot on the island, the beach you encounter perfectly embodies the essence of the entire place - exotic and alluring. I would give every single beach in Ano Koufonisia a five-star rating because each one surpasses the next in beauty and charm.

Panormos Beach
8 Lena Kessler

We decided to visit the beach during the off-season, as it was one of the destinations we didn't want to miss out on. Despite the long drive of 1.5 hours from Chora, the scenic beauty was worth it. The beach can be accessed by a small rocky dirt road, and once you park your vehicle, a short walk down takes you to the shore. We spent some time clicking pictures and feeling the chilly water before leaving. The beach was extremely quiet during the off-season, and we were the only ones there. Nevertheless, it is a must-visit spot if you have the time.

Livadi beach

The serene atmosphere and picturesque scenery make it a must-visit destination for those seeking a peaceful and relaxing getaway. The crystal-clear waters are perfect for swimming and snorkeling, while the soft sand is ideal for sunbathing and building sandcastles. Overall, this beach is a true gem and a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of the Cyclades.
