Maria's place is lovely and immaculate and its location on the island ideal: silent, picturesque, and a short walk to the beaches and Chora with all its cafes and restaurants. The tavern next door (Harama) had excellent food and great hospitality too. What we enjoyed most about our trip to Schinoussa was the warmth of Maria's family. Her mother gave us fresh eggs and some cake the day after we arrived and her father drove us to the beach and even offered us some wine at a local tavern. Should we return to Schinoussa, we would absolutely stay at Maria's place again.
