Things to Do

Pine-backed sands

Skiathos is one of the greenest islands in Greece, and many of its 60-plus beaches have pine forest backdrops. The beaches in the south of the island, where all the main holiday resorts are, have a lot more facilities than the ones in the north, but they’re also much busier.
    
The big beach

Troulos’ pale stretch of sand comes with an endless supply of tavernas and cafés, and there’s an equally long list of watersports on offer by the water’s edge. If you fancy a change from the beach, there are a few hotels behind the sands with sea-facing swimming pools, and some will let you drop by for a swim if you buy something from the pool bar.

The secret beach

Follow the dirt track from Agia Eleni Beach in Koukounaries for about 15 minutes, and you’ll come to a steep path that snakes down to the tucked-away bay of Kryfi Ammoudia. Few people know about this sandy expanse, so it’s perfect if you want to escape the crowds. There’s just one little taverna here, serving a few Greek dishes against a backdrop of surfing and fishing memorabilia.
