Skiathos is undoubtedly famous for its beautiful beaches. The island has over 60 beaches covering all tastes. You will find beaches where pine trees hug the sea, creating a unique blue-green color. Organized or quiet, with sand or pebbles and all with crystal clear waters.

For adventure lovers there are 15 ski schools in Skiathos. Most of the southern beaches offer the possibility for water sports of all kinds (ski, wakeboard, jet ski, kayak) but also for more relaxed activities such as tubes, sup, banana or water biking.

Most of the beaches are easily accessible by road but also by boats that depart from the old port of Skiathos.
