Natural beauties, scenic landscapes, a combination of green and clean sea, religious and historical monuments, appropriate tourist infrastructure and intense nightlife. It is the closest island to the mainland and is located near the southern coasts of Pelion, Volos and Euboea island. The island is full of dense pine forests and olive groves that reach its shores.

The green island of Skiathos has approximately 70 beaches, among them the famous Koukounaries (in Greek ‘pine cones’) beach with its extremely fine sand, also known as Chrissi Ammos (‘golden sand’). Many of them are awarded the coveted ‘Blue Flag’ for their clear waters. It is the most cosmopolitan of the Sporades, with a lively atmosphere and busy nightlife. Its main town and port is simply known as Skiathos town.

The largest and southernmost island of the Sporades offers quiet holidays, rich tradition and untouched landscapes. Finally, the charming Skyros is another authentic Greek island where nature thrives, and the green of its lush vegetation is harmoniously married to the stunning blue of the Aegean all around. The landscape, where rocky and mountainous, is, typically for the Sporades, interspersed with little churches and chapels, villages and farmhouses. Such is the island’s southern part, where the unique Skyrian Pony Horses, the trademark of Skyros, used to live free and wild. Today they are a protected species. Skyros has a particular, contradictory charm. The island seems to have two completely different faces: half is green and the other half is wild and rocky.
