What to expect

Skiathos is among the most beautiful and best-known islands in the northern Sporades. It is blessed by nature like few others, which is also reflected in the friendliness of the people who live there.

Travel by coach to the port city of Glyfa. The ship that will take you to the Sporades is already waiting for you there. Sail along the Pelion peninsula to the open Aegean Sea, where the idyllic island of Skiathos is already visible amidst the deep blue water. Stroll through the original Greek village of Skiathos with its narrow white alleys up to the picturesque church on the summit with an unforgettable view over the endless sea. A visit to the church of Agios Nikolaos and the house of the island's most famous former resident, the writer Alexandros Papadiamantis (1851-1912), is particularly recommended.

Don't forget your swimsuit, because you'll also have the opportunity to dive into one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Of course, traditional taverns are also waiting for you to visit. Let yourself be captivated by the atmosphere of this enchanting island.
