Great Skiathos - Best Beaches to visit

A different beach every day of your holiday! Koukounaries Beach Nature lovers will adore the lakeside setting and a beach of golden sand on the western shores of Skiathos. A beach of fine golden sand that backs onto a dense woodland and saltwater lake, Koukounaries has been winning over the hearts of visitors to Skiathos for decades. Troulos Beach There’s more to discover on the south coast so, hard as it might be, it’s time to continue your journey. Troulos is another strand of golden sand, crystalline water and a backdrop of pine trees. You’ll find sunbeds and umbrellas, but there’s also natural shade in which to sit and take it all in. Just try and resist the temptation of the aromas of chargrilled fish wafting over from the taverna! Vromolimnos Beach Another beautiful sandy beach with a great vibe. There's a lively beach bar scene and a water sports centre here (the first to open on theisland) that caters to all levels. It’s worth staying till the end of the day for the fantastic sunset.
