Full of Greek flavour, Skiathos moves at a gentle pace, from the tavernas and bars of its traditional villages to the coast's little beaches and crystal-clear water. A jewel in the blue Aegean Sea, this is one of Greece's most popular islands.
Sipping wine in an outdoor restaurant on a cobbled street in Skiathos Town, watching the boats bobbing in the moonlit harbour below.
There are over 60 beaches to choose from on your Skiathos holiday, so you'll never be short of places to lay your beach towel.
A contender for the best beach in Greece award, Koukounaries' long curve of golden sand comes with crystal-clear water, many watersports, nearby bars and restaurants and a beautiful forest setting.
Other favourites include Agia Paraskevi, good for watersports, and Troulos, a perfect spot to relax in its beachside taverna.
Here's a little taste of what's on offer: for more excursion ideas, speak to your Rep.
Greek Night
For a real flavour of Greece, this fun-filled night out is a must. With traditional food, music, dancing and ouzo on the menu, you'll experience Greece in all its glory and have an evening to remember.
Kastro
With its exciting history filled with tales of swashbuckling pirates, the ruined medieval town of Kastro is a fantastic place to visit. Fortified to keep buccaneers at bay, you'll explore the ruins and taste the past on this trip to the north of Skiathos.
You'll find the biggest choice of international restaurants in Skiathos Town, with the best seats in the house overlooking the harbour, where you can choose a fish and watch it being cooked for you.
There are also some excellent tavernas scattered throughout the main resorts, especially in Koukounaries.
Try tasty Greek dishes like snapper baked with garlic and tomatoes; cheese pie from Skiathos's neighbouring island, Skopelos, and sweet pastries like baklava, made with nuts and honey.
In many restaurants, you'll even be given a complimentary liqueur with your bill: it's a lucky dip but you might get pungent Ouzo or, for the more discerning drinker, a 7-star Metaxa brandy.
Wherever you stay, make sure you head to Skiathos Town for a night out: large cobbled steps stretch up from the old harbour, lined with chill-out bars, where you can lounge on beanbags around candlelit tables.
If you prefer something more lively, along Papadiamanti and Polytechniou streets, there's a fabulous choice of music bars and clubs.
For a really relaxed experience, watch beautiful sunsets from the hammocks and beanbags of trendy bars along Banana Beach, near Koukounaries.
For those who like their shops to sell more than just sunglasses and suncream, head to Skiathos Town, where there's a choice of craft and gift shops, boutiques and galleries. Take home ceramics and glassware, beautiful pieces of jewellery and designer leather bags, shoes and belts.
With olive oil, local wines and the Greek brandy, Metaxa, on the shelves, you can find something for everyone, whatever their taste.
