Lino Beach
Exploring Skyros Sailing Holidays area
Lino is a little sandy and pebbly beach on the eastern coast of Skyros. The beach is never too crowded and visitors can get anything they need from the beach bar. Swimmers should be careful, as the sea bottom has some rocks and the water is shallow. The orientation of Lino enables visitors to gaze at the endless blue horizon of the Aegean Sea.
