Greece | tourist holiday travel guide
to Skiathos
Skiathos has amongst the best beaches of the Greek
islands, a large variety of taverns, bars and places
to stay and the fact that it is absolutely gorgeous.
It is a lush, green island with over 60 beaches and
depending on where you stay, you can have a quiet,
relaxing holiday or a more active one doing
excursions, sports and enjoying the nightlife.
The locals mainly live off tourism and agriculture.
They grow olives, fruit and walnuts and there is
both local honey and wine. Many of the islanders
leave the island in the winter and work on the
mainland. The difference between the summer and
winter season is very distinct: whereas the
population amounts to about 4000 people, in summer
it can reach 70000!

The homonymous capital of
Skiathos, despite its broad tourist development, maintains its unique
picturesqueness. The piney peninsula at the entrance of the
port, the important lake - hydro biotope, the ruins of the Venetian
castle, the historical monuments, the neoclassical buildings,
the sacred churches and the monasteries, the museum e.t.c. are
the main sightseeing of the capital.

a verdurous settlement gifted with magical beaches, which is a
very popular tourist resort. Moreover, another amazing settlement of the
island of Skiathos is Koukounaries, a renowned region where the
pines and the firs that spread along the extended beach mix with the
sea. Let yourself be enchanted by Skiathos, the forever captivating
island
Skiathos could truly be the
destination of your dreams. In common with most Greek islands
Skiathos enjoys a beautiful climate, blue seas and golden
beaches. From the moment you land in Skiathos, you will be made
to feel at home. English is widely spoken everywhere,
from the most
sophisticated places to the most traditional
tavernas. The opinion of most tourists who have
visited and spent some time on the island is that
the feeling of welcome and frienliness extended by
the local people makes a stay here especially
rewarding and memorable.Skiathos is the smallest but
most cosmopolitan island of the Sporades group only
two hours away from Volos by ferry.
It is the most developed Sporades
Island from the point of view of touristy facilities and offers good
services, infrastructures and organisations.Even if tourism is a recent
phenomenon in Skiathos, it has extended very quickly and the
commercialization of the little island has now almost reached the ones
of islands like Santorini, Corfu, Mykonos and Rhodes.
The island is famous for its beautiful
endless and sandy beaches boarded by dense and verdant pine forest,
coming down to the crystalline waters.
 
Holidays in
Skiathos is ideal for those who love exciting
nightlife, shopping, crowded beaches, great fun and
entertainment. For the visitor seeking a traditional
and “Greek” place to enjoy calm holidays, the other
Sporades will be a better destination.Nevertheless,
the impressively crowded Skiathos and the heavy
touristy atmosphere creating a scene a bit
artificial don’t take away the island’s beauty
picturesque walks, hidden valleys, a few quitter
beaches, caves, sculpting rocks and small coves are
the many jewels one can find in Skiathos if he takes
time to explore the island.

five flights daily from Athens (45 min.) as well as the numerous|
