Skiathos

Skiathos is most famous for its glorious beaches.
Koukounaries is the fabulous pine grove after which the region is named. It fringes a long stretch of golden sand for 1.000 metres, and most of its 30 metre width is shaded by pines and shrubs. Behind the grove there is a lovely lagoon, wheat fields and olive groves.
From Koukounaries you can walk to the beach of Agia Eleni, which faces the southern shores of Mt Pelion. It is splendidly isolated and offers good fishing.

Kanapitsa is a small peninsula slightly higher in elevation than other sea front resorts. Glorious and breathtaking scenes can be viewed over the beach and the neighbouring islands. The beach took its name from the peninsula.

Lalaria is another famous beach with large pebbles on the N.E. side of the island, accessible from town by boat.
