SKIATHOS TOWN

DISCOVER
THE COSMOPOLITAN
ISLAND

With some of the Aegean’s most stunning sandy white beaches, backed by rippling hills carpeted in scented pines and olive trees, Skiathos is the most sparkling gem of the Sporades. Skiathos Island attracts thousands of visitors every year especially in summer! It is not only loved by youngsters, thanks to the crazy Skiathos nightlife, but it is also an ideal destination for families.

Skiathos town (“Chora” in Greek), the capital and port of the homonymous island, is the biggest and most popular settlement of the island!

Feel Skiathos’ heartbeat, walking at Papadiamanti Street, named by the famous 19th-century Greek novelist and short-story writer Alexandros Papadiamantis, who is looked on as the father of modern Greek literature. Over the last years, the house of Papadiamantis has turned into a museum dedicated to the writer’s life and work. The area is surrounded by many café, bars, restaurants and boutiques and tourist shops.

Skiathos’ port is divided in two separated parts by pine covered Bourtzi peninsula, the ruins of the Venetian fortress built in 1207 until the late 17th century. Today, Bourtzi is a popular place for rest and recreation offering breathtaking views, the home to a maritime museum and a stylish bar-restaurant.

The island’s premier, dedicated in the late-18th century to the Annunciation of the Virgin by the monks, The Monastery of Panagia Evangelistria is located about 5 km north of Skiathos Town. Surrounded by fragrant pines, fir trees and cypresses, the monastery has a high wall that once kept pirates out. During the Greek Revolution, monastery used as a shelter to the fighters and refugees. Another important religious center in Skiathos is The Holy Monastery of Panagia Kounistra (or Ikonistra) , where the monks discovered an icon of the Virgin miraculously dangling from a pine tree (Kounistra meaning the swing movement).
