Skiathos, Greece?

Question

Anyone been there, if so whats it like?

Answer 1

I've been!

It's tiny, so you can visit everywhere.  But there's lots of places to go.

Make sure you eat in the town.  The food is delicious, and I got ill from local restaurants.

The people are extremely friendly.

There are beautiful beaches, beautiful restaurants on beaches, a very regular bus into town and back.

Go, it's worth it.

Answer 2

Small, beautiful beaches but very commercialised & crowded.

Depends what you like, if you don't mind wall to wall beach umbrellas, It's fine. If you want a more traditional Greek holiday, go elsewhere.

Answer 3

I went a couple of years ago and it was lovely, can't remember what part I stayed in though, sorry!! But it was nice! :o)

Answer 4

It is beautiful with a lot to see and do.  There is a little boat that goes all around the island stopping at different beaches for swimming.  I recommend that.  Also from Skiathos it is easy to hop a boat to the very nearby islands of Skopelos and Alonissos.  

A Google search or travel book will tell you about these places and what you can see and do there.

Answer 5

very nice island

Answer 6

bros in law has been all over greek islands and says skiathos has by far the best beaches and is the nicest island hes been to.

  only one slight downside as the islands airport is so small when you are on the return flight they have to take off and then land on the mainland to take on more fuel but its not really much hassle.
