Top 10 Things to do in Skiathos, Greece
Tiny Skiathos is packed with pine forests, archaeological ruins, and—most importantly—beaches. Shed your inhibitions at the nudist Banana Beach or have a more modest sun session at Koukounaries, which is peppered with lively cafes. Sail around on a chartered catamaran, hike to the dramatic medieval ruins of Kastro and tap into your spiritual side at one of Skiathos many monasteries.

Simply the most beautiful beach on and around Skiathos. Long, sandy beach with crystal clear water, umbrellas, sunbeds and one of the best tavernas. Somehow, it reminds me of beautiful Thai Beaches. Boats from the old port leave at 10, 11 and 12 and return at 16, 17 and 18h.

A lovely distraction from the hustle and bustle of the old port Only a 10 minute walk around the island but there are so many places to sit and watch the varying sea views and a grand al-fresco tapas cafe/bar that the walk could take much longer.Well worth the visit
3. Lalaria Beach

Reviewed By Frida R
Make sure you visit Lalaria during your stay in Skiathos. Its water is cristal blue and you sure could spend a few hours here. You get here by boat and because of that it has been preserved very well. At times it can be crowded with a lot of boats but I would recommend renting your own small boat going around the island. That way you can stay for as long as you want.

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.

Overall: 4-
Comments: by own vehicle, 1,5-2 hour walk, red little bus or taxi, this classical monastery is worth visiting. A grand view is also part of it.

6. Il Kastro

Reviewed By Paul C - Wrexham, United Kingdom
If you enjoy historic sites and walking and hiking, then this is the place for you. If you have walking difficulties then avoid! Its a real trek to get to the ruins and then reach the highest point of Kastro but as others have stated, its well worth it. My camera was well used here. The views are truly amazing! Could not believe some people were making the trek in flip-flops. Lunacy!!!!!
7. Mandraki Beach

Reviewed By LondonLooby - london
Although it's a nice walk through the forest, I don't understand all the fuss over this beach! It was very busy and covered in piles of seaweed. Maybe it was the time of year (end of August) but we left feeling very disappointed after Reading all the good reviews on here it was nothing like what we were expecting.

9. Kechria Beach (aka Little Paradise)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 148 reviews
Reviewed By Karin T - Glastonbury, United Kingdom
We've visited quite a few Beaches during our state in beautiful Skiathos but the Kechria is undoubtedly the best.
Already charmed by its natural bay and the terraced landscape, the water is pristine clear and turquoise, a great pleasure to swim.
The Taverna provides great meals, it's amazing for a place relatively remote.
Ideal for a great, relaxing paradise afternoon.
10. Agia Eleni Beach

Reviewed By Greecophile - Yorkshire, England
Access ok. A beach tavern. Narrow stretch of sand. Not the cleanest looking. Worth a look and a stroll along the beach and on the path behind it to the rocky point.
