LOCATION
WELCOME TO SKIATHOS
The emerald-green sparkle in the Sporades
Skiathos, the most cosmopolitan island in the Northern Sporades, is truly a
paradise on earth, with lush pine forests and crystal-clear azure waters. The
island is picturesque, unspoilt and blessed with more than 60 beautifully
crystal clear waters and beaches. The most famous is Koukounaries, which is
considered as the third most beautiful beach in the Mediterranean. When you add in its bustling nightlife, it is only natural that the island attracts thousands of young visitors every year!
Whether you want to stay away from the crowds or dance until you drop – and then wake up and do it all over again –, Skiathos, with its upbeat night life, is a real treat for visitors and especially for young people seeking the freedom to party and listen to their favourite music!
The pedestrian street by the Old Harbour is the ultimate hotspot for entertainment! Buzzing bars and clubs keep youngsters rocking through the night and until the early morning! The party continues in the area of Ammoudia (on the road to the airport) where entertainment addicts celebrate in big open air clubs! Colourful cultural events, concerts and art exhibitions held throughout the summer months will add a special touch to your holidays on the island!
Sail around on a chartered catamaran, hike to the dramatic medieval ruins of Kastro and tap into your spiritual side at one of Skiathos many monasteries.
In search of the glorious beaches of the island
The island has 60 superb beaches, among which Koukounaries or Golden Sand in the southwestern part of the island stands out. Koukounaries beach is also famous for its lush pine forest- whose needles “touch” the water offering unique natural shade- and Strofilia, a rare wetland nestling amidst the pine forest, which has been declared a protected area due to its enormous ecological value. There are also plenty of tavernas and lively cafes and bars. If you like, you can also rent a boat, play tennis at one of the local hotels’ tennis courts or try out some exhilarating sea activities! Kanapitsa beach, on the road to Koukounaries, is a popular beach with crystal clear waters and picture- perfect tavernas by the sea.
Those who want to get away from the crowds should also check out the western part of the island: Mandraki, Elia, Agkistros and Small and Big Aselinos are all ideal choices to escape the crowds. Lalaria, on the northeastern part of the island, is the kind of beach you find once in a lifetime. Impressive white rock formations; small round pebbles (which is what lalaria means in Greek), beautifully clean waters and the “hollow rock” standing imposingly on the beach provide a beautiful natural backdrop that will take your breath away. Note: you can only reach the beach by boat departing, weather permitting, from the port of Skiathos.
