Skiathos, one of the four inhabited Sporades islands, is best known for its breathtaking beaches and its buzzing nightlife. Th mainly centres around Skiathos Town where chic and trendy cocktail bars and restaurants spill out onto the sidewalks of the two harbours and the pedestrian Papadiamanti Street.
There is more to this glorious island though than the beaches and nightlife. The mountainous terrain, luscious leafy landscape and wild beaches of the northern coast can be explored by mountain bike, scooters, driving or hiking. The rippling hills are carpeted with olive trees, almond trees and scented pines. There are numerous hidden-away Byzantine churches and monasteries and atmospheric villages to visit.
Lalaria Beach is the most photographed beach in Skiathos. It can only be reached by boat, so it is a fantastic excursion. You will be in awe of the incredible rock formations on the white pebbled beach. Huge cliffs rise from the deep crystal clear sea, making a heavenly picture-postcard scene. Also incredibly popular is Koukounaires Beach, which is 6 km from the villa. It is very well organised with beach bars, sun loungers, umbrellas and thrilling watersports. Banana Beach can be very crowded. It is popular with nudists and offers a gorgeous scene with pine and olive trees as a backdrop. Agia Paraskevi is one of the longest beaches on the island. Achladies Beach is close to Skiathos Town and is very popular with families. There are good watersports facilities, including windsurfing and waterskiing. Kolios Bay is a lovely, quiet bay with two tavernas, sun loungers and parasols. It is edged by pine woods, so there is plenty of shade. The larger beaches of Vromolimnos and Platanias are either side of it. There are over 60 stunning golden beaches in total.
It is best to visit the picturesque, whitewashed Skiathos Town in the evening. You can enjoy some drinks at the trendy cocktail bars or traditional taverners and dinner at a waterfront, harbour restaurant. Skiathos Town also boasts fantastic designer shopping. The most important site to visit in the town is the Museum of Alexandros Papadiamantis. It is housed inside the family house of the famous Greek author.
