Skiathos: Tribute to the birthplace of the famous Greek writer Alexandros Papadiamantis




Diving in beautiful beaches, walking in picturesque alleys, enjoying local delicacies and intense night life! We are talking about the island of Skiathos with the incomparable natural beauty and the sandy blue beaches, the birthplace of the famous Greek writer, Alexandros Papadiamantis!



There are more than 60 sandy blue beaches in the island! Koukounaries beach, at the southwestern tip of Skiathos, is considered to be the third best in the Mediterranean. The beach is known for the forest of Koukounaria which almost reaches the sea and the lagoon Strofylia, a rare wetland, which is a protected area.



Many beaches on the southern side of the island have watersports centers with fun games, ranging from banana slides to paragliding and waterski. The lush countryside of Skiathos island offers great chances for hiking. Old footpaths cross the island, leading to secluded beaches, old monasteries, and hilltops with a great view to the Aegean Sea.



The most interesting site is probably the Medieval Castle of Skiathos, accessible by tour boat, and the Museum of Papadiamantis, an important Greek writer who was originating from this island. There is also a biotope is Strofilia lagoon, preserved under E.U. environmental programs.
