Skiathos Town Things to Do

Perfect Location
Skiathos Town offers everything you would expect from an exciting capital. What’s more, excellent neighbouring resorts, such as Megali Ammos, Kanapitsa and Kolios are close-by.

Old & New
Skiathos Town can boast a wonderful blend of old and new: the vibrant cosmopolitan atmosphere of the new town, where bars, restaurants and nightclubs can all be found, interestingly contrasted with an atmospheric old quarter, with its cobbled lanes and simple flower-decked white houses with their traditional red-tiled roofs.

Beach
Your holiday in Skiathos Town can include enjoyable days on the sand and shingle beaches at the capital itself, as well as trips to Megali Ammos beach and Xanemos beach nearby. Why not take advantage of the small fleet of boats that ferry visitors to virtually every beach on Skiathos Island? With all these beach options available (many with fine sand and clear, shallow water), there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Shopping
At Skiathos Town, you’ll love the colourful shops and boutiques. Treat yourself to something nice, or pick up little gifts for family and friends back home.

Eating Out
Eating well is an essential part of any holiday. You need a selection of bars and tavernas offering tasty light snacks, and also good restaurants offering hearty three-course meals. Skiathos Town can offer you all this and more.

Excursions
As well as catching the bus to a string of resorts along Skiathos’s south coast, other excursion options from Skiathos Town include trips to the caves of Spilia Kaminari, and visits to the deserted medieval town of Kastro – recognised throughout all of Greece as being of important historical significance.
