The small Skiathos gem of the Sporades Archipelago is the perfect destination for a holiday where nature comes first. Rich in history, it manages to give its visitors moments of pure ecstasy with a lush landscape that transmits serenity. A very green island with sinuous hills and low peaks covered with pine forests and enchanted woods, jagged coasts and heart stopping cliffs. There is no shortage of flat areas where agriculture plays a primary role in the production of excellent oil, fruit, honey, nuts and wine famous throughout Greece.

Skiathos beaches are more than 60, one more beautiful than the other and for all tastes. How can we not mention Lalaria beach reachable only by sea with its coastline of small white stones and the beautiful natural arch shaped by the wind, or Koukounaries beach of golden sand with crystal clear waters and crazy colors where you can forget about everything and enjoy so much beauty.

There are many things to see in Skiathos, despite the island being small, and you will certainly not have time to get bored. Visit the Monastery of Evangelistra where the first flag of the Greek state was sewn, or the Kastro, an ancient fortress from the Venetian period, treat yourself to a tour of the wonderful sea caves, or explore the area with one of the many trekking routes that will make you discover unusual and secret places.

An island suitable for both family holidays and couples’ holidays, where you can find a romantic refuge. Curious to discover more? Pack your bags and leave, Skiathos awaits you!
