Skiathos is a small Greek island situated in the Aegean Sea near the east coast of the Thessaly Region and also quite close to Pelion area. It boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the whole of Greece, lively summer nightlife and a wealth of tourist facilities. The most popular beach is the Koukounaries one, which has a reputation as one of the loveliest beaches in Greece. Much-photographed Lalaria beach, on the island's north coast, is also a quite beautiful beach, which is only accessible by boat.
In order to get to the island, you may take a direct charter flight from several European destinations such as UK, Germany, Austria etc., or fly to it from Athens.
