Skiathos Hotels and Accommodation

Skiathos is one of the most visited islands in all of Greece. It is one of the favorite holiday destinations for both the Europeans and the Greeks themselves. This small island of 4,000 inhabitants attracts as many as 70,000 visitors every summer weekend. Skiathos is home to the famous Koukounaries Beach, which is considered one of the finest in Greece. This white sanded beach can be quite crowded during summer, and if you wish to find a quieter spot to relax, there are about 60 beaches in Skiathos to choose from. For night entertainment, you can visit the numerous taverns and pubs that are located near the harbor where you will find the Bourtzi, a 13th century fortified place where most cultural activities are held. Other places of interest include the ruins of Kastro which can be reached by boat, and the the Evangelistria Monastery which is known as the place where the first Greece flag was flown.
