See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: ferries to be organized and beaches loaded in summer. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Skyros
Skyros belongs to the Sporades but has a tougher personality, between perched village, scattered beaches, craft traditions and arid southern landscapes. The island attracts those who accept slower distances: skyriot horses, pottery, coves and wind give a less seaside atmosphere than Skiathos.
Town or village
Skiathos
Skiathos combines a lively harbour town, pine-covered hills and a succession of beaches easy to access. The island is suitable for seaside stays without complicated logistics, with boats to coves, coastal bus and possible departures to Skopelos.
Town or village
Koukounaries
Koukounaries is one of the best known beaches of Skiathos The golden sand, shallow water and equipment make it a popular place in the summer, but the plant decor remains richer than on an ordinary beach.
Town or village
Skopelos
Skopelos is a quieter and greener island than Skiathos, with white villages, chapels, orchards and coves often framed with pine trees. Its sloped Chora, its wooded roads and its small beaches give a cooler Aegean, ideal for alternating swimming and villages.
