About Skiathos

Skiathos is the most glamorous and most internationally celebrated island of the Northern Sporades — a small island of 6,000 inhabitants (rising to over 50,000 in summer) in the Northern Aegean whose extraordinary combination of 62 beaches (including Koukounaries — the most famous beach in the Northern Sporades, its golden crescent of fine sand backed by a protected pine forest lagoon and consistently rated among the finest beaches in Greece), a beautifully preserved Venetian-era old town (the Chora, with its warren of bougainvillea-draped alleys, the Venetian Kastro on the northern headland — the most dramatic medieval fortification on the island, accessible only by boat) and the cosmopolitan resort character of a long-established international beach destination give it a quality of island experience unmatched in the Northern Aegean.

Skiathos's most celebrated cultural asset beyond its beaches is the birthplace and house-museum of Alexandros Papadiamantis (1851–1911, the most important prose writer of modern Greek literature, born and buried in Skiathos, his short stories depicting the island life of the late 19th century — particularly 'The Murderess', his masterpiece, and the stories of Skiathos fishermen and women — forming the foundation of modern Greek fiction). The island's airport (with its beach immediately adjacent to the runway threshold, creating one of the most dramatic and most photographed aircraft approach experiences in the Aegean) and its vibrant Papadiamantis Street nightlife give Skiathos a liveliness and an international atmosphere quite distinct from the quieter Sporades islands.

Koukounaries Beach — Most Famous Beach in the Northern Sporades: Koukounaries (the most celebrated beach in the Northern Sporades, its golden crescent of fine sand backed by a protected pine forest lagoon, 12km from Skiathos town) and the island's 62 beaches — many accessible only by boat, several of exceptional natural beauty with crystal-clear turquoise water — give Skiathos the finest beach range of any small island in the northern Aegean.

Alexandros Papadiamantis — Foundation of Modern Greek Literature: Skiathos is the birthplace of Alexandros Papadiamantis (1851–1911), the most important prose writer in modern Greek literary history — his short stories of island life and 'The Murderess' (1903, the masterpiece of 19th-century Greek prose) are essential reading for any visitor to the island. The Papadiamantis House Museum (his preserved home in Chora) and his grave in the island's main church give Skiathos a literary pilgrimage significance unique among the Sporades.
