| Map of Skiathos |
Skiathos is
a small island which belongs to Sporades
complex. It's the closest island to the mainland with 48km2 extension
and 6.000 population. The real business of Skiathos is beaches. By far the best
in Sporades. There are over fifty strands,
most with fine, pale sand. The main road along to the South and Southeast
coasts serves an almost unbroken line of villas, hotels, minimarkets and
restaurants. In Skiathos it's difficult to find anything particularly Greek,
but by hiking or using 4WD vehicle you can find anything relative solitude,
refreshing vistas and charming medieval monuments in the island's North.
Skiathos is a very popular destination for young ages due to nightlife.

Skiathos
Town, the only real population centre on the island, is set on a couple of low
hills around a point, with the ferry harbor and new town to the East, the
picturesque old port, with the old town rising above it, in the West.
