Mykonos and Rhodes.
Package tourists from Europe and wealthy visitors from all over the world are the main clientele of Skiathos.
The island has only one settlement, Skiathos Town, which is the port and capital of Skiathos.
The rest of the island consists in beautiful large beaches, churches, archaeological sites, many supermarkets, villas, restaurants and numerous huge hotel units. |

Nevertheless, the impressively crowded Skiathos and the heavy touristy atmosphere creating a scene a bit artificial don't take away the island's beauty:
picturesque walks, hidden valleys, a few quitter beaches, caves, sculpting rocks and small coves are the many jewels one can find in Skiathos if he takes time to explore the island.

In fact, Skiathos recently provided the setting of a Hollywood film, the famous Mamma Mia movie. |
