Skiathos is the jewel of the Sporades, famous for its lush green landscape, turquoise waters and more than sixty sandy beaches scattered along its coastline. The island is home to legendary Koukounaries, regularly ranked among the finest beaches in the Mediterranean, and the otherworldly Lalaria beach with its smooth white pebbles and towering rock arch reachable only by boat. A YachtHop cruise from Skiathos takes you to secluded bays, sea caves and swimming spots that remain untouched by the summer crowds, with plenty of time to snorkel in crystal clear waters. The neighbouring islands of Skopelos, made famous by Mamma Mia, and the protected marine park of Alonissos are also within easy reach for longer day trips. Back on land, the cobbled streets of Skiathos Town and the picturesque Bourtzi peninsula come alive in the evenings with waterfront tavernas and lively bars. Whether you are after a relaxed family day on the water or a private charter to the wider Sporades, Skiathos is one of the most rewarding sailing destinations in Greece.
