POP 206
Like its neighbours, Schinousa, has an easygoing pace and a rare sense of timelessness,
although high season can be realtively lively. The island has a gentle landscape and the
major settlement
Hora (Panagia)
has a long, narrow main street lying along the breezy
crest of the island. There are several beaches scattered round the low-lying coast.
Ferries dock at the fishing harbour of
Mersini
. Hora is a hot 1km uphill. Domatia own-
ers, with transport, meet ferries from about May onwards and will always meet booked
guests.
In Hora,
Paralos Travel
( 22850 71160; fax 22850 71957)

street. It sells ferry tickets for vessels other than the
Scopelitis
and also doubles as the
post office and newsagent in season.

( 22850 29329)
, down at the Gris-
pos Hotel and Restaurant at Tsigouri Beach and at an office at the far end of the village,
