Welcome to Skiathos Apartments!

To get to Koukounaries from Skiathos town, 9 kilometers away, take a bus from the landing stage. This goverment protected beach looks like a tropical Pacific paradise. It is a splendid setting, bordered by a forest of pine trees. For the most active visitors there is a large watersports complex right at the end of the beach.

To the far west of the island, 12 kilometers from Skiathos town. Banana beach actually comprises two sweet little beaches. If you want to sunbathe in the nude, head straight for the smaller of the two, behind the rocks. Watersports such as windsurfing, waterskiing and parascending are available.

Lalaria is a shingle beach with soaring cliffs, only accessible by boat. There are numerous fishing boats departures in the morning from the port. It is worth bearing in mind that there are no tavernas there. There is a big hole in the rocks. The hole is partly beneath the surface of the water and is big enough for the boats to pass through.
 

You can get to Mandraki beach on foot by a lovely path through the pine trees. A big, well preserved sandy beach, less crowded than others because it takes practically an hour to walk to it. This place is ideal for relaxing far from the noise of the popular crowded beaches, within a natural landscape.

Agia Eleni is on the right, before you reach Koukounaries beach, coming from the Skiathos town direction. It is a small, fine sand beach nestling in a pretty cove. The beach owes its name to the homonymous small church, whose white color goes very well along with the blue of the sea, the green of the trees and the golden sand.

This is the site of the medieval capital of the island. The walled town was built in the 14th century and eventually after much travail abounded in 1829 with the foundation of Independent Greek State. The restored Church of Christ gives you an opportunity to view some unique wall paintings of post Byzantine art.
 

An important attraction for any visitor to the island is the home of Alexandros Papadiamantis. This is where he lived and died and it preserves many of his belongings. The house was built by his grandfather in 1850-1860 and was bought by the Ministry of Culture in 1974.

Moni Evangelistria was founded during the Byzantine period (1790-1860), it is surrounded by beautiful country side. With three domes a truly magnificent iconostasis and many frescos, it gives strangers to the Greek church an idea of the strength and power that once held the people of Greece in such thrall.
 

Kastro is the site of the medieval capital of the island. The walled town was built in the 14th century and eventually after much travail abounded in 1829 with the foundation of Independent Greek State.

The founding of the monastery is related to the finding of the icon, around the end of the 17th century. Many legends are heard about the holy icon. It is called “Kounistra" (the Greek word for swingable) because it was revealed in a miraculous way, on a branch of a tree, swinging in the air.
