For lunch, arrange a stop along the way or on the return, budgeting around €12–25 per person.

The site is exposed to the elements: check access and visiting arrangements in advance, and bring water, a hat, and suitable shoes.

Linaria Harbor

Reach Linaria from Chora by car, allowing about 15–25 minutes for the journey, and set aside an hour to stroll along the waterfront and watch the harbor. You can stop for a coffee or a snack, with an estimated cost of €3–10; if you are using ferries or other connections, check updated schedules and fares with the operator.

Don’t confuse a harbor visit with boarding a ferry: for sea connections, check availability and timetables before you set off.

Skyros Pony Farm (Mouries Farm)

Continue by car toward the farm, allowing roughly 25–40 minutes from Linaria and checking the exact route before you leave. Arrange the visit in advance and devote about an hour to getting to know the Skyros ponies and their environment; any guided visits or fees may vary and should be requested directly from the property. Plan a lunch break nearby or bring a packed meal, with an estimated cost of €8–20.

As this is a farm, do not turn up without first checking access arrangements, availability, and the rules for approaching the animals.

Atsitsa Beach

Drive to Atsitsa from the farm, allowing around 20–35 minutes for the transfer, and reserve the rest of the afternoon for the sea and the western coast. Access to the beach is usually free; any snacks or services may add about €5–20 to your budget. For the return to Chora, allow roughly 20–30 minutes of driving and leave with a cushion of time, especially if you need to return a car or catch a connection.

Before setting off, check sea conditions and bring everything you need: available services can vary.
