Why Holiday on Skiathos?
As mentioned above, the islands landscape is somewhat different to the majority of Greek Islands. There's plenty to see and do though and a great place to start is in Skiathos Town. Plazas and pretty gardens are frequent sights and there are numerous cafes, tavernas, and antique shops to wander around. For a real look at the history of the island however, ensure you head to Kastro, the ancient city which dates from the 12th Century.
Day Trips on Skiathos
Hire a car at Skiathos Airport and visit up to 60 beaches; each of them perfect for a dose of sun, sea, sand, and great nightlife. Vromolimnos, approximately 8km south of Skiathos, is a very popular beach and caters well for tourists making it an ideal choice for a day trip out. The lush green backdrop provides shade and creates a great atmosphere in which to relax.
Alternatively arrange car rental in Skiathos Town and take a drive to Banana Beach, about 13km away from Skiathos, its name hailing from the crescent shaped cove. Not only is it beautiful, it's great for water sports too, allowing for a more exciting day out than your usual seaside experience.
Why not inject a bit of culture into your holiday too with a visit to the Monastery of Moni Evangelistria? It's located about 8km away from Skiathos. Poised 450m above a gorge, it is certainly impressive and makes for an interesting addition to your trip.
Consider catching a boat to Lalaria from Skiathos, where you can see a fantastic area of caves and wild rocks. It's truly breathtaking and only accessible by the sea!
