Schinaria Beach
Παραλία Σχοινάρια
A small pebbly bay southeast of Plakias, where there are many fish around the reefs. It is widely regarded as the best snorkelling and diving spot in the area.
Schinaria Beach lies south of Ammoudi. A dirt road leads down from the main road to a small bay surrounded by rock walls. The reefs and underwater caves here hold many fish. It is a dive site often used by Plakias diving centres, and it is also easy to snorkel on your own. The beach is pebbly, with a snack bar and umbrella rentals. It is about 7 km from Plakias. Signs mark the way along the route, but the last section is a steep dirt track, so drive slowly.
