Why Visit Skiathos?

Skiathos invites you into a world of lush pine forests, golden beaches, and charming waterfront tavernas. Bask on the silky sands of Koukounaries Beach, take a boat ride to the striking white cliffs and turquoise waters of Lalaria, or wander the cobbled lanes of Skiathos Town, where lively cafés meet island tradition. Tucked within the Sporades archipelago, Skiathos offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and cosmopolitan flair. With over 60 beaches and a vibrant old port, the island shines from late spring through early autumn—Greece at its most laid-back and sun-drenched.
