Shinaria is a 160x50m, sandy beach with a few rock plates at the beachfront. The beach is situated in a beautiful cove and with the monolith Timios Stavros in the background, just 6km east of Plakias.
By car you drive to Lefkogeia and turn right just before the supermarket following the signs to Shinaria.
Sunbeds and umbrellas are available for hire and there are 2 tavernas right at the beach. There is very little parking space and most cars will have to park alongside the road. The clear and turquoise water is very popular with snorkellers and divers, enjoying the marine life and seabed.
Walk 1 passes this beach.
Last but not least, leave only your footprints!
