Things to do and see in Skiathos
The stupendous Skiathos, we find it in the Sporades Archipelago in the region of Thessaly just below the Chalkidiki Peninsula.
The island is the smallest of its sisters but it is certainly the most famous and known throughout the world so as to attract many tourists during the summer. Perfect for any type of holiday, here you will find every comfort and things to do that will satisfy families with children, nature lovers, young people who want to party until late, without ever going into conflict with each other, allowing space for everyone .
We can say that Skiathos is the most cosmopolitan of the archipelago and offers its guests a true paradise on earth. It has more than sixty beaches, all wonderful and different from each other with sandy or pebble coasts, a clean, transparent sea with iridescent colors, luxuriant forests and enchanted woods where you can enjoy regenerating walks through a territory that is still virgin and almost intact. For sunbathers, you will be spoiled for choice on where to spend the day, there are many beaches and in particular Koukounaries beach framed by a beautiful pine forest is defined by many as the best beach in Greece. For sports lovers where Aeolo is the protagonist instead the beaches of Aselinos and Mandraki considered the realms of surfers, and still the remote and wild Lalaria beach reachable only by sea with its rock formations that seem to sprout as if by magic from the Aegean.
But Skiathos is not only sea and beaches, you can go inland for more or less demanding trekking routes and discover its lively fauna and colorful flora among the twenty marked paths passing through monasteries, water mills, historical monuments, streams and natural springs, reaching points where the eye can get lost in the horizon and offer breathtaking panoramas. And still dedicate yourself to snorkelling rather than diving since the waters are ideal for diving to discover the magical underwater world. Given their sharpness that up to thirty meters they give perfect visibility.
For those who love to bask under the warm Hellenic sunrays during the day but want to party in the evening, Skiathos island is one of the perfect destinations that can combine both things. In the capital Skiathos Town the alleys near the Old Port adjacent to the seafront, at night become open-air discos full of young people who dance and have fun until the first light of dawn in the bars or disco bars. To eat something there is no problem there are many taverns that offer classic Greek or international cuisine while for shopping or a "digestive" walk just go into the center and the narrow streets that surround it to find the perfect gift or souvenir to put in your collection.
