	Kastro beach Tip Rating:

Updated By StefanosS on November 16, 2003

Kastro beach - Skiathos
island

by StefanosS

Not really a lovely beach to write about, more a place to cool off in the sea after walking across the old Castle to see the ruins. This beach is situated on the northern tip of the island, under the old medieval town of Skiathos. The beach at Kastro is pebbly but nice, a wonderful spot to view the old town of Kastro and contemplate how life must have been for Skiathitees in the days before independence from Ottoman empire. In the high season boats stop here with tourists who have come to see the place. That means refreshments and possibly a lift back to the town if the thought of walking back is too much to take. There is a traditional small taverna-cafe (not seen in the photo), in a lovely situation, selling omelettes and sandwiches. The combination of a swim in the bluish transparent waters and a visit to the old city of Kastro is a unique experience you must not miss while you are in Skiathos.

	Christos sto Kastro (=Christ At The Castle) Tip Rating:

"Christ At The Castle" church
- Skiathos island

by StefanosS

The famous "Christos sto Kastro" church (=Christ at the Castle), devoted to the Nativity of Christ, was the cathedral of the medieval city. It is a basilica with a wood curved roof, built in the 17th century. It has worthwhile frescoes and a nice wood cut icon screen dated in 1695. This is the church which has been praised the most by Alexandros Papadiamandis and Alexandros Moraitidis in their Christmas novels.

	Koukounaries beach I Tip Rating:

Updated By StefanosS on November 16, 2003

Koukounaries beach -
Skiathos island

by StefanosS

"Koukounari" = pine cone. Koukounaries is the most famous beach of Skiathos and reputed to be the best in the Aegean if not the whole Mediterranean. "The Times" of London rated it #3 in the top ten beaches in the world. It is known also as "Chrysi Ammos" (=Golden Sand) since the sand there is extremely fine and shines under the summer sun. This beach offers the visitors its deep-blue, crystal-clear warm shallow waters and a unique chance for a midday rest since the pine tree shady forest (umbrella pines) of Koukounaries reaches down to the sea. It is almost a kilometre long. The beach shelves very gently so it's fine for children and non-swimmers.

	Koukounaries beach II Tip Rating:

Updated By StefanosS on November 16, 2003

Koukounaries beach -
Skiathos island

by StefanosS

On the beach are 3 beach tavernas, 3 water sports schools and 2 kiosks for cigarettes, soft drinks, etc. Behind the forest is a large flat valley with green fields, more pine trees and fig trees. A large area between the road and the beach is a protected area for birds and wildlife. The locals and the authorities have managed to preserve this paradise keeping this corner of the island intact, away from big investors the sole objective of which is constructing big hotel complexes. It is like a mini National Park and is a great place to walk your dog or just stroll around the lagoon which is connected to the sea by a narrow channel. The whole area is unique, take your time and enjoy it.

	Tsougria - the desert island Tip Rating:

Updated By chazgilbert on July 17, 2005

The boat docked at Tsougria

by chazgilbert

Taking a trip to the tiny island of Tsougria is well worth it. Three boats a day leave from Skiathos town harbour, giving you a whole day on the island. Boats return to pick you up at 4, 5 or 6pm. (8 Euros).

The beach is fantastic with a lovely Taverna. It's best to go here in early or late summer - I went in the first week of July, just as the crowds started arriving.

The swimming is fantastic, and it's well advised to take a snorkel. You'll probably have to hire a lounger and sun-shade to keep out of the sun, this was 8 Euros.
