Unwind on the beach or up the ante in nearby Skiathos Town – Vasilias holidays are as thrilling or as chill as you choose.
Time to slow down
As relaxing beach destinations go, it's hard to beat Vasilias. Fronted by the deep-blue Aegean Sea and backed by rolling hills, this little village on Skiathos – one of Greece's North Aegean Islands – is all about peace and quiet. Think terracotta tiles, whitewashed walls and a gentle, sandy shoreline.
A host of havens
Skiathos' southern coast has sandy beaches by the bucketload. You've got local favourite Megali Ammos a 10-minute walk from town, with sunloungers and shaded areas at the ready. Alternatively, take the 10-minute drive to Blue Flag award-winning beach Koukounaries – its tree-lined shore is sure to delight.
