Skiathos is a beautiful Greek island in the Aegean Sea, in the northern Sporades archipelago of Northeast Greece.

With a surface area of only 50 km2, this small gem is famous for its white sand beaches, considered to be among the most beautiful in the Aegean, and its lively summer atmosphere. Despite its small size, Skiathos is a place rich in history, culture, and natural beauty, which make it an ideal destination for travellers seeking an unforgettable holiday. It would indeed be a mistake to stop at its spectacular beaches because the attractions to see are truly many.

Of course, we must start with the spectacular coastline. The island boasts more than 60 beaches, each one fascinating in its own way. You can relax on the long expanses of sand at Koukounaries, considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece, or discover gorgeous coves like Banana Beach and Lalaria, where you can also explore some caves.

Fashionable, lively and fascinating, the town of Skiathos, on the island’s east coast, is another must. Its narrow streets, lined with traditional-style buildings, are full of life and many small businesses, restaurants and bars. To relax and find wonderful views of the coast, take a walk through the small Bourtzi peninsula, once a Venetian fortress.

Lovers of history and beautiful locations are encouraged to visit the various monasteries on the island, including Evangelistra and Kastro, a remote, abandoned fortification, where you can breathe in the timeless atmosphere and admire stunning views.

It doesn’t matter if you are a lover of the sea and the beach, a lover of history, or just a traveller looking for natural beauty – Skiathos will leave you speechless. So consider a visit to this wonderful Greek island and get ready to make unforgettable memories!
