Adults love to take power swims without fighting waves or just laze around in the water talking with friends. The beach is perfect for picknicks in its beautiful pine forest that reaches to the water's edge. Needless to say,small children love playing in the sand. Only about one hour's drive from downtown Athens, Schinias beach is one of the most popular of all Athens beaches.
