I've been coming back to “my” lovely Panormos bay for four years… Like I said, Panormos beach is for me one of the most beautiful beaches on Skopelos, where I spent a wonderful holiday every time I come. Crystal clear sea, not too many tourists (in June and September), most beautiful views in the morning, when the beach is still “empty” and the sea is calm like an oil and in the evening when the tourists leave and you can watch perfect sunsets...Place to run away from daily routine, work just or at least for one week in the year. Don't expect loud music, stands with souveniers, T shirts etc…

Crystal clear water and lots of fish! ???????????? Beautiful spot - very peaceful just the sound of the cicadas and the sea. If you’re getting a bus it’s a longish walk from the road (and back up again). Definitely need beach shoes as slippery stones getting in

Our favourite beach, when on Skiathos, was the one at Mandraki. For it we took the bus to Koukounaries village, but got off at a stop called 'Mandraki Beach' just before the final stop at Koukounaries Beach. The bus leaves Skiathos town every 15 minutes and with many stops in between the whole trip takes about 40 minutes. Once off the bus we started a wonderful walk through a forest of umbrella pines, which are not very common in Greece, where forested coastal areas mainly consist of the nice smelling, but a bit less impressive Aleppo pine. There is a path for hikers, while drivers with a car or a bike will use a small unsurfaced road towards Mandraki with its limited parking space. Not too many people are usually found on this forest path, where one can observe various plants like strawberry trees, rock roses, heather, mastix, smilax or a not very common Daphne gnidioides with white flowers and red berries at the same time in September. Mandraki Beach has golden sand, which continues in the sea, making it easy to get into the water. In this respect just like Koukounaries Beach, but without the razzmatazz around it. There are stalls selling drinks and snacks and parts of Mandraki are covered with sunbeds and umbrellas, but there is also an area, where one can enjoy the beach without using these comforts. Walking the same way back we then loved to walk along the lagoon of Koukounaries with its interesting flora and birdlife to the final bus stop by the beach with a bigger chance to find a seat on the often crowded bus to Skiathos town.

I visited the monastery on a very wet September day. The road to it, which terminates at the monastery was surfaced, but was of very poor quality in places. The attractive church is surrounded by other buildings including a library, chapel and museum. Highlights for me included the vast bread oven downstairs in the museum, the row of large glass vessels containing fruit liquors and the many friendly cats. The museum would be improved if there were descriptions in english - it contained many documents and photos sbout the Greek War of Independence and religious regalia. The view down to the sea from the carpark would have been magnificent on a sunny day.

This is a beautiful landmark and truly worth the climb, it was early evening when we visited so very few people about and the oasis of calm was worth it to reflect on lost loveones.

Tsougria island has one of the most beautiful beaches.The best beach is in the middle and is always very calm with clear green water.The water is very shallow and messy ideal for families.The beach has beach chairs, umbrellas and beach bar.

Great beach, even better this year without an operative beach bar....just boats and people visiting on the commercial boat tours. Idyllic the few hours before sunset, clear waters combined with a tsipouro on the boat is unbeatable! A must visit when in Skiathos!

Reviewed By katverg - Athens, Greece
Crystal clear waters, beautiful scenery, a big and organised beach bar with private parking space and at the end of the beach there are some rocks you can take beautiful photos and if you can walk with special shoes or swim around the rocks there are some small caves and the scenery under the surface with a mask is amazing. You have to go early because after 10 am boats full of people are coming and the beach becomes overcrowded.
