Skiathos, from the middle of town.
What the island gives you, written by the people who live on it.
So many beaches
on Skiathos Island
With over a hundred beaches, Skiathos is an ideal place to spend a holiday: pine forests, clear sea and more to explore than one visit allows.
How you reach them is up to you — most are served by bus, taxi, water taxi or car.
Take a boat to Lalaria beach, and to the island of Tsougrias opposite the harbour. Boats leave the Old Port every morning, and some evenings too.
Great afternoons
for walks, shopping and dinner
Skiathos Town has a feeling of Greek summer that is hard to describe and easy to recognise. Shops, cafés and restaurants are spread through it, including down small streets you would never think to try.
Walk every alley and you will find a restaurant, a pizza place, or simply a view worth photographing. Have a quiet drink at the Old Port and watch the sunset colours and the people going past.
You never quite get used to what the town offers, and you always want to come back and feel it again.
History still stands
the historical places of Skiathos
Skiathos is full of monasteries and small chapels, and of course the Kastro — the old town on its rock, where it is easy to imagine what living here once meant.
Evangelistria Monastery has a great deal of history behind it. The first Greek flag was woven there in 1807, and it holds a museum of musical instruments in a quiet setting.
The house of Alexandros Papadiamantis is a museum to the writer who lived on Skiathos and wrote The Murderess, among other novels.
