Say hello to a gorgeous piece of Greece, where dreamy shores and whitewashed villages are what it’s all about. With visits to dainty churches, hikes through lush forests and scenic boat trips on the agenda, there’s plenty to enjoy. Plus, the island's dinky size and great bus network make it a doddle to explore. One of the best things about Skiathos is that it's lucky enough to boast both the buzz of the crowds and total tranquillity. Weave among Mamma Mia! film fans in popular Skiathos Town or head to nearby Achladies where go-slow is the name of the game.

There's a reason why the island scooped a Condé Nast award for its shores. Dreamy beaches are Skiathos’ signature style and there are 60 to choose from! Surrounded by pine trees, Koukounaries Beach on the island’s west side is touted as one of the best with its soft sands and aquamarine waters. Meanwhile, nearby Lalaria Beach on the north-eastern tip is another knockout. It’s only reachable by boat, so you’re in for a real adventure.
Tear yourself away from the coast and you’ll find the island’s interior is just as magical. Dense forest and rugged peaks create a beautiful green backdrop for walks and bike rides – there are hundreds of kilometres of hiking trails across Skiathos! For more spectacular scenery, the islands of Skopelos and Alonissos are only a ferry ride away and are equally epic.
Translating to pine trees in Greek, Koukounaries takes its name from the perfumed pine trees found throughout the village.
In a peaceful spot on Skiathos’ south coast, Agia Paraskevi is the ultimate choice for go-slow Greek getaways.
Laid-back Troulos is the perfect spot for a family holiday.
This pretty jewel on the south-east coast is the island’s capital and has a little something for everyone.
Nestled just around the bay from Skiathos Town, Megali Ammos is perfectly placed for a relaxing sunshine getaway.
Lying on the sedate southern coast of Skiathos, Kolios is a place to pick for unwinding and enjoying one of the island’s best beaches.
A whopping 27 miles of sun-soaked seafront makes up Skiathos. This waterside winner has bragging rights to more than 60 beaches, so there are oodles of places to flop down. White pebbles carpet popular Lalaria Beach, which is only accessible by boat, while golden sand dominates another favourite, Troulos Beach.

Welcome to traditional Greece. Make a beeline for both Skiathos Town, the capital, and the captivating Old Port. It’s worth ticking off St. Nikolaos Bell Tower, Evangelistria Monastery and the castle, if you’re big on history and culture.

While there’s plenty to see on dry land here, who’s eager to explore the sea? Set sail on a boat trip to Skopelos for almost luminous shades of turquoise waters and emerald headland.

Picking up souvenirs from Skiathos is a doddle. Teeny trinkets and mini mementos are sold in many of the dinky shops and convenience stores here. You’ll also come across a few places specialising in jewellery, while others are great for purchasing bags of dried fruit and nuts.
See all shopping (1)Go to a club or play things low-key – you’ll have the best of both worlds here. Buzzing bars and clubs with DJs spinning the decks promise a great night out. And come July and August, locals flock from all around for the party atmosphere. Most of the restaurants are vibrant, open late and show off fab wine lists, so you can while away your evenings there too.
