This summer I visited Skiathos for the first time, this natural green island of Greece. University was over so my friends and I decided to go somewhere and celebrate the end of exams. I didn't really know much about this island, except that it had good nightlife and fantastic beaches. We made plans to stay for four days which eventually became a whole week. My family had already booked us a lov...

Skiathos was more than I expected. My family and I visited the island 6 years ago and ever since, Skiathos has become a favorite place for my summer holidays. This year my work didn't allow me to spend more than 4 days here but I was still happy that I enjoyed all of them. For those who don't know this place, I can o...

General: Beautiful island for families

Hello, I wanted to comment on Skiathos because it might be the best island if you like very good sandy beaches combined with lots of flora. We stayed at Troulos location with our 2 kids in June 2010 at Zachos Hotel. It doesn't have a view to the sea (apart from one or two rooms I think) but it was cheap, and nicely located in the middle of the island (Troulos), close to Koukounaries beach. Trou...

Skiathos became one of my favorite places to go for summer. Minutes before we reached the port I was surprised by the green beauty outspread to my eyes and I was looking forward to explore every little corner of the island. Skiathos Town is the only tourist settlement of this small island. However, in the peak season...

As a traveler I am never sure if it was geting a package holiday just to relax somewhere without any sightseeing or new experiences. Last year, I felt like trying to be a lazy tourist abroad and guess what, I got so lucky for a last minute booking. First time in Skiathos and I have to say I don't know if the 2010 summer will look like after the Greek financial crisis but the august of 2009 was ...

The beaches and the crystal clear sea are a huge draw to Skiathos. They are all blue flag. The main ones are all reachable by frequent local bus service. Skiathos Town, whilst very busy in July/August, is picturesque with lots of nice yachts in the harbour and is nice to stroll around. It also has its fair share of clubs and some nice bars. There are plenty of places to eat. If not staying in t...

General: Superb island

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:45 GMT

I am going to Skiathos 6 years in the row and my sister loved it so much that she and her husband had a villa built there. The beaches on Skiathos are faultless and there are plenty of monasteries to visit. There is also a Dog Shelter where you can go and walk the dogs or just go for a visit. Skiathos is very green, ...

General: For fun and good beaches

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:45 GMT

Skiathos is a small island and you can see most of it in 3 or 4 days, so you will have time to island hop in the other two islands, Skopelos and Alonissos. Skiathos has definitely better beaches from the other two, because they are more organized and it is easy to go. Instead, the beaches of Skopelos and Alonissos ar...

General: Beaches for every taste

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:45 GMT

Skiathos town and island is one of the best places I have ever seen and visited. Small traditional island, perfect for rest and doing nothing on the beach, more than 60 beautiful beaches. I think that the main quality of the island are beaches for every taste, clear water, traditional town and restaurants. Food was good and cheap except port restaurants. Lot of very good fast food, gyros pita r...

General: Enjoyable holidays

It was a long trip from Thessaloniki to Agios Constantinos by car and then by ferry to Skiathos, but we had the chance to see lovely places in Greece. We rented a car from Thessaloniki airport and had to go to Agios Constantinos, about 7 hours away, to get the ferry because ferries from Volos don't take cars, only passengers. The first thing to see as you arrive in Skiathos also has great bars and very nice tavernas...

General: Romantic and green

Skiathos is a very nice island with lot of green. It's graphic and you can have wonderful time there. You can have fun either you like calm holidays or wild one. You can walk in the village of Skiathos which is very romantic and you can eat at a restaurant near the port. Skiathos also has great beaches where you can ...

General: Have more flights

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:45 GMT

Why is there only 1 flight from Athens to Skiathos during the peak season and this flight leaves late at night. We arrive in Athens very early in the morning and then have to wait all day for our flight to Skiathos.

General: Plaza Hotel Skiathos

This hotel has been our home from home for the past 2 years and this year we have recommended it to 10 of our South African friends who are all going to stay in July The manager, Angelo, is really friendly and most accommodating in every way and nothing is ever too much trouble for him
