If Skiathos, the queen of the Sporades, is the island you have chosen for your next holiday, you may have some doubts as to which is the best location for your stay.

The real urban centre of the island is its capital of the same name, the rest of the settlements are small hamlets mostly concentrated on the south coast. Choose to sleep on Skiathos in one of these small settlements if you are looking for tranquillity and relaxation.

One of the advantages of choosing not to stay in the city is that you are closer to one of the many superb beaches for which the island is known. It must be said that tourist facilities are still present, but to a lesser extent than in Skiathos Town. Whichever place you choose for your trip, don’t miss the many typical restaurants where you can try the tasty Greek cuisine.

Skiathos Town

Skiathos Town

The largest urban settlement on the island is Skiathos Town; the capital is a modern village with excellent tourist services. The town’s harbour is the main arrival point for the various ferries from the other Greek islands and mainland Greece.

The town is very picturesque, and by choosing to stay here you will have the opportunity to be at the centre of the island’s tourist life. Accommodation opportunities are many and varied, from flats to hotels.

Choose Skiathos Town also if you are looking for nightlife and cultural activities: you can choose to alternate days at the beach with days of excursions exploring the Boùrtzi peninsula or the Kàstro, an ancient 14th century fortress. From Skiathos Town it is then easy to reach the island’s most famous beaches by hiring a car or relying on the buses that connect it with the most interesting areas.

Koukounaries

The beautiful beach of Koukounaries

Better known as Golden Beach, Koukounaries is located in the south-western part of the island. The beach has the particularity of being surrounded by a pine forest, the needles of which ‘touch’ the water, offering an unspoilt natural landscape. Behind the pine forest is the famous marshy area of Strofilia.

Accommodation options include a campsite, which can be an inexpensive option for younger tourists. The area offers a variety of nightlife entertainment, as it is crowded with clubs and bars.

Not far from here, there are two beaches that attract different tourists. Banana, or Baia Krassa, is a beautiful beach that attracts thousands of young people thanks to the possibility of having fun during the day doing a variety of water sports and at night attending one of the many organised parties. Banana also has a sister beach, called ‘Little Banana’, which is the ideal place if you want to avoid the crowds and are looking for peace and quiet.
