Golden Soft Sands...
The capital of this stunning island is Skiathos Town, a popular break for rich Athenians, which has numerous chic designer shops, yachts moored along the harbour front and a buzzing atmosphere. Skiathos town looks more Italian than Greek and has a very cosmopolitan feel to it with many pavement caf's and tavernas overlooking the harbour. This town has a mixture of nightlife to pass away your evenings from bars and nightclubs to traditional Greek dancing and is the busiest place on the island. As well as the trendy modern side of the capital there's an old historic side with an interesting historic centre and narrow cobbled side streets dotted with traditional cottages, a lovely romantic place to take a stroll and look back in time at this perfect island.
Koukounaries also provides a popular base for Skiathos holidays, where you will find a spectacular beach resort perfect for soaking up those rays and developing a tan as golden as the soft sands. The resort has a selection of water sports, restaurants, beach bars and tavernas to while away your days and look in wonder at the amazing pine clad surroundings. Troulos Bay is the perfect destination if tranquillity is your cup of tea, the little village is as local as it is touristic and the hub of the local farming community. Daytimes are spent lazing alongside the perfect shores and evenings are renowned for leisurely strolls or chatting with locals in the small tavernas and apartment terraces.
