We find the delightfulMaratha beach in the southwestern part of the island of Skiathos,about ten kilometers from the capital Skiathos Town and just fivehundred meters from another very coveted coast during a holiday inSkiathos, the beach of Koukounaries.

A beach about two hundred andfifty meters long, very narrow, of soft gold-colored sand, crystalclear and transparent waters, a turquoise and blue sea with gentlysloping seabed, perfect for families with children and for those wholove to swim. All around like a tender embrace tall and verdant pinesthat give natural shade during the hottest hours and give theenvironment a peaceful and ideal atmosphere for a lazy day at thebeach.

The Maratha beach is equippedwith paid sunbeds and umbrellas (there are only a row so especiallyduring the summer season they fill up quickly so if you want to spenda day or a few hours there, it would be better if you went eitherearly in the morning or in the late afternoon), a bar for somethingfresh to drink or something quick to eat and a typical panoramictavern where you can sit, admire the landscape and taste thedelicacies of Greek and territorial cuisine. For those who want tocompletely get away from the crowd and stay in close contact withnature, they can choose their own space in the free part, spread outa towel perhaps near a providential tree to doze off or simplyshelter from the sun and spend a very pleasant day based on no stressand beautiful sea. It should be emphasized that there are no toiletfacilities on the beach, you have to take a walk for a few minutesand go up the hill to the first hotel.

As far as accommodation isconcerned, if you want to stay near the Maratha beach for yourholiday in Greece, there are several options ranging from simpleapartments to hotels and some resorts complete with all the comfortsand activities to do during the day.

There are no water sports todo, but if you are a fan of snorkelling don’t forget to bring a mask,fins and snorkel to go and discover the lively marine fauna and floraof this little corner of paradise.

the wonderful white swanslove to come to the Maratha beach to refresh themselves andregardless of the bathers they allow themselves a regenerating bathunder the astonished gaze of their natural indifference towards humanbeings.

You can decide how to get toMaratha beach by choosing between two options. The first if you areindependent and have a car or a scooter, just follow the road keepingfor example the capital as a reference point going south on the westcoast and check the road signs towards Koukounaries. Upon yourarrival, you can leave your vehicle in a convenient parking lot ordirectly on the road, being careful however to park so as not tohinder traffic.

The second opportunityin case you decide not to rent anything is with the local buses thatleave from Skiathos Town in the direction of Maratha. The stop whereto get off is number 22 with a small part to do then on foot butreally two steps going down a few steps. You can also choose to bedropped off a bit further along the main road where the path iseasier.

Maratha beach is a perfectplace to enjoy the sea, nature without giving up comfort and for thisalone it deserves to be included among the things to see in Skiathos.
