Welcome to Skiathos, the gateway to Greece's gorgeous Sporades Islands. While many just use this island as a jumping off point to other islands, it's worth spending a day or two to discover the treasures that can be found here.
Beaches: The biggest attraction in Skiathos is the selection of beaches. Koukounaries is the most famous beach. For young people, head to Big Banana, for naturists head to Small Banana, for more secluded head to Asselinos and for water sports head to Kanapitsa.
Kastro: For ancient history, this is your place. It's the site of the island's medieval centre which was abandoned in the 19th century.
Alexandros Papadiamantis House: There are few museums in Skiathos so if you want to see one, make it this one. The famous Greek author wrote more than 100 novels about island life and his former house is now a museum.
