Skiathos is a small island but blessed with many fantastic beaches.
The best of them all is the magnificent Koukounaries on the western tip of the island. It’s by no means undiscovered and if you come here in July or August you’ll find it packed to the rafters, but the shallow waters are a delight and the area is alive with birds and wildlife.
Is your idea of paradise soft white sand beaches and clear blue waters? Shallow, warm seas lapping at your feet, exotic lagoons, the breeze gently ruffling your hair? You don’t need to leave Europe to find idyllic tropical-style waters.
