    This beach is probably one of the most photogenic in entire Greece. And you will immediately know why. The sea is almost emerald and the beach is really unique and unforgetable. Few of them are have such impressive strength.

    Skiathos Culture
  • Tip Rating:
  • By dimilag on June 21, 2007
  • Skiathos Island Page by dimilag
  • The island’s traditional architecture,does not have a severe island character.On the other hand,it is a combination of a traditional village in Greece and an island village,with neoclassical elements. Influenced by the attitude and the needs of the local people,local architecture is one of a kind and will undoubtedly cast a spell on you.

    With small white houses in their majority,built close to each other you will feel the hospitality of the island taking over you from the minute you step on the island .Built of stone with external whitewashed walls,the local houses will amaze you.The narrow streets,the corners of the houses are cut in such a way so that walking through them is easier and at the same time they give you a sense of unforgettable hospitality.As far as the fashion tradition goes,be aware that a hundred and twenty years ago,everybody in Skiathos,men and women were wearing the local,traditional clothes but nowadays we could say that fashion is totally updated.The rich cultural background of the island is obvious in every corner and will undoubtedly cast its spell on you.
