Located in southern Crete, just 33 km from the picturesque town of Rethymno, you’ll find the beach of Schinaria (or Skinaria).
Nestled in a wild and rocky landscape, this hidden gem holds a remarkable distinction.
The clarity of its waters, due to both their purity and the geology of the seabed, can reach and sometimes even exceed 40 meters in horizontal visibility. In simple terms, if you take a dive here, you can see almost to the end of the charming bay without even needing a mask.
For this reason, Schinaria is a favorite spot for most diving schools in Crete, which use it as a base for their underwater adventures.
