This week we have been focusing on Greece, firstly Zante now some interesting facts on Skiathos
The smallest of the big three Sporades islands and somehow still home to over 60 beaches 🏖️ Pine forest runs right down to the sand, the water turns that unmistakable aqua and not a chain store in sight.
Let Michael Carter Travel and Olympic holidays help plan your next adventure to this stunning Island.
Start in Skiathos Town, base yourself near Koukounaries or Agia Paraskevi, then let the boats do the work ⛵ Lalaria Beach, Tsougria and Arkos are all reached by water, and the local bus runs until midnight for everything else.
And when you're ready for more? Skopelos is only 30 minutes away by ferry 🚤 Consider the island hop !
