The Community of Schinias (Sxinias) is one of Athens most exclusive seashore resorts. It is a planned community created as place for summer homes in a natural setting on the Aegean Sea but close enough to downtown Athens to allow homeowners to commute daily to their workplace. Commute times to the airport and downtown Athens are generally about an hour during weekday traffic using the expressways and controlled access highways. Surface streets take a bit longer to do. Thousands of people annually make the journey on foot taking about two and a half hours as they run along the route of the original Marathon Run. Downtown Athens (the Acropolis) is approximately 35 kilometers (22 miles) by road and the airport is approximately 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the house by air but 55 KM (35 miles) by highway.

Schinias stretches several kilometers along a mountainous coast with about 60% of its land area set aside as “green areas” protected from development and the rest divided into 1000 lots for homes owned by private individuals. Development at Schinias is at leisurely pace with around 220 houses built over the past 25 years. Approximately 10-15 homes are under construction at any one time through out the community; currently three are near us. Only one commercial activity, a convenience store, is allowed within our community. The positive aspect of all this is that we have very little traffic on our streets and none of the night-time noises and turmoil associated with clubs, restaurants, and similar commercial activities that plague most of the Athens area. These benefits, however, make the distances from our house to supermarkets, restaurants, shops, bus stops, etc. such that you will need your own transportation.

Cindy says: "Wonderful venue for a relaxing visit. As I emailed the owener, "What a great house to come home to after a long day of driving!" The only concern was that with 12 people, 3 baths didn't seem sufficient. Other than that, it was fantastic."
