Skiathos at a Glance

Many tourists from all over the world visit Skiathos. For a bit more elbow room spring or late September is probably the best time to visit and enjoy the island.

With over 62 sandy beaches and stunningly beautiful vistas everywhere away from the main roads and the frantic press of tourists Skiathos has some of the best swimming in Greece. The island is unabashedly hedonistic and you wont find any Monasteries worthy of the name.

Easiest of the Sporades to reach being only 43 nautical miles from Volos Skiathos is a small island and has a population of 4,300 and a land mass is 48 sq. km with a coastline of 44 km.

Blessed by abundant (for Greece) water Skiathos is a wonderful and beautiful destination with many, many sandy beaches and forests. Unfortunately the island caters heavily to tourism and has lost any pretense of authenticity.

Because the island is so small there is not a whole lot to do here besides work on your tan, eat, drink and make merry.
