Discover beautiful Skiathos
There is seemingly no end to the number of beautiful islands in the waters surrounding Greece, and, as beautiful islands go, this one is something really special! Located in the northwestern Aegean, Skiathos stands out for its numerous golden sand beaches and crystal-clear azure waters. Add to that, a surprisingly lush, lovely interior, friendly locals & superb food, and you have all the ingredients for a great holiday!

Beach lovers will feel right at home on Skiathos 60-odd beaches! Koukounaries and Banana Beach are particularly popular. There is also the super-photogenic Lalaria Beach, known for its perfect white pebbles.

Those who enjoy nature will love the hiking trails that crisscross the island's interior - each vista opening up more stunning than the last! Too hot for hiking? Take a boat trip! There are numerous coves and other small islands to explore!

For a little bit of local history (and gorgeous views!), visit Kastro (simply, the Castle) and the Bourtzi (Venetian fortress). The Sacred Church of the Archangel is also very pretty.

If you fancy a night, Skiathos Town is the place to be! When you head for the club strip, you'll see why Skiathos is famous for its vibrant nightlife. PS: Did you know? Numerous scenes from the movie Mama Mia! were filmed on Skiathos.

But even if you're not into clubbing, Skiathos Town is a nice place to be. The Old Town above the port is superb - an utterly charming maze of alleys with lots of little shops & restaurants & tavernas, perfect for a relaxing afternoon. Tip: Make your way up to Agios Nikolaos church one evening. Perched on a small hilltop overlooking town, you'll see the most gorgeous sunsets from here.

For your accommodation, our recommendation is the Atlas Skiathos. This friendly 4*boutique hotel is located in a quiet area just steps from the heart of Skiathos Town.
