About Skiathos

Skiathos, the island of endless green and deep blue, offers a harmonious blend of natural beauty, rich culture, and a lively cosmopolitan vibe. The name “Skiathos” is derived from the Greek words “skia” (shadow) and “Athos,” referring to the shade cast by its lush forests.

The island’s pristine beaches with golden sands and crystal-clear waters are some of Greece’s finest, from the famous Koukounaries and Banana Beach to the quieter Lalaria with its impressive rock formations. Beyond the beaches, Skiathos offers an array of activities like horseback riding, hiking scenic trails, water sports, and even wine-tasting tours that showcase the flavors of the region.

In the charming old town of Skiathos, visitors can wander through narrow streets lined with white-washed houses, savor traditional dishes, and discover local specialties, from fresh seafood to “amygdalota” (almond-based sweets). The island’s gastronomic scene is rich, with traditional tavernas and stylish restaurants alike.

Skiathos is also the birthplace of the renowned Greek writer Alexandros Papadiamantis, whose legacy is preserved in the island’s culture. His home, now a museum, offers a glimpse into his life and works, celebrating his connection to the island and its people.

The island’s beauty extends beyond the shore, with evergreen forests and scenic churches that add to its idyllic landscape. Skiathos is also a gateway to the rest of the Sporades, with frequent ferry connections to Skopelos, Alonissos, and beyond.

Whether you seek a tranquil escape, a lively vacation, or a bit of both, Skiathos provides the ideal setting for any occasion.
