With forest walks, traditional tavernas and seaside views, Koukounaries holidays offer fresh air and relaxation on the popular Greek island of Skiathos.

Woodland walks

Peaceful Koukounaries is the ultimate rural escape on the Greek island of Skiathos. Backed by forest-covered mountains, it's all about tranquillity here. Horse riding is one of the best ways to soak up the scenery, and the local riding school offers forest trail rides. Or you could take a stroll through those trees – just don't forget to bring your camera.

Coastal comforts

The local beach is a real showstopper. Relax on the pristine stretch of sand or paddle in the warm, calm waters. If you're feeling more adventurous, there are plenty of opportunities for snorkelling, diving and waterskiing. Head to one of the watersports huts on the shore to arrange your splash of choice.

Local culture

For a change of scenery, head to lively Skiathos Town. Just a 20-minute drive away, it's packed with cultural gems. Wander the winding streets, stopping to admire the ancient Bourtzi fortress. Or, pop in to the maritime museum for a glimpse of the town's past.
