Laidback and pretty as a picture, Troulos holidays are all about chilling in the forest-edged bay and savouring tasty Greek treats.
On the shore and inland
Picture sandy beaches and twisting country lanes, and you've got Troulos – located on Greece's North Aegean island of Skiathos. At the Blue Flag award-winning beach, you can choose to work on your tan or take up a new watersport. A village taverna's never far away, plus the capital – trendy Skiathos Town – is under a 20-minute drive.
Pick your beach
Troulos Beach is a showstopper, or you can hire a speedboat to take you to a more secluded strip of shore – they're tricky to get to on foot. Aim for the smaller stretches at the headlands of the main beach. Koukounaries Beach is on a lagoon, and you can't get more private than that.
