Troulos Beach Skiathos

We find Troulos beach in the southeastern part of the Skiathos Island about nine kilometers away from the capital Skiathos Town and less than three kilometers from Koukounaria beach.

Wedged in a large and beautiful bay that shelters it from the winds, the Troulos beach, the city coast of the village of the same name, presents itself with a long expanse of soft golden and white sand, clean and crystalline waters, a sea that fades from blue to turquoise with a gently sloping seabed ideal for families with children where the little ones can splash around and have fun until they drop while the adults relax peacefully under an umbrella.

Lush vegetation made up of pine trees and fragrant Mediterranean scrub surrounds the entire Troulos beach, making it the perfect environment for a relaxing day at the beach.
