Skiathos – Top yacht charter destination
With over 60 beaches to choose from and
numerous coves and capes, you’re guaranteed to find a perfect spot
to drop anchor. Lalaria Beach, only accessible by boat, has
spectacular white cliffs rising out of the turquoise waters, sea
caves and a beautiful sandy beach. For a fun day out, head to
Koukounaries Beach, where the beach bars do a roaring trade, the
crystal-clear waters are inviting and the people-watching available
in all shapes and forms!
Skiathos – Things to Do
The crystalline waters make Skiathos an
excellent place for snorkelling, swimming and scuba-diving. Diving
excursions can be organised through Dolphin Diving Centre. The island
is a mountain biker’s dream – particularly the wilder northern
side, where one of the numerous trails can be combined with
refreshing sea swims. The 18th-century
Evangelistria monastery, about five kilometres out of Skiathos Town,
is a stunning stone building with commanding views of the sea.
Shopping in Skiathos offers some unusual items, including hand-made
jewellery and pottery from the Blue House Art Gallery in the main
town and contemporary décor from Saita Skiathos.
Skiathos – Gourmet Experience
You’ll be spoilt for choice in
Skiathos as the island is packed with restaurants, cafes and bars.
Lo&La, at the top of some steep steps, has the most spectacular
views of the bay and old harbour. Time your visit with a full moon,
tuck into a plate of squid-ink pasta with octopus and lobster, and
you’ll remember this moment forever. The Final Step, also
overlooking Skiathos bay, serves modern Mediterranean dishes,
including crisp salads and fresh seafood such a sesame-encrusted
salmon. For tavern lovers, Taverna Selini
is a laid-back spot
specialising in local seafood dishes.
Skiathos – Nightlife
Skiathos is known for its vibrant
nightlife, so you can either party down at one of the many beach
clubs or find a quiet spot for a cocktail. The open-air cinema in
Skiathos town is a romantic way to spend an evening under the stars,
sipping wine while watching a variety of movies. Up for some dancing?
Then stylish Jaguar, on the promenade in the old port, is a fantastic
place for a cocktail or two and some boogying. Funky Rock n Roll Bar
serves a range of excellent cocktails and has sublimely comfortable
seating on plump cushions as well as great harbour views.

Insider Tip: If
you’re thinking of renting a car to explore the island’s
interior, opt for a 4X4 as some of the dirt roads are fairly rugged.
