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.

Necessity and practicality are words rarely associated with beauty, but our selection of 10 of the world’s best bridges could make you see these majestic structures through new eyes.
