SKIATHOS - the 'Pearl of Aegean'. The movie MAMA MIA was produced here.
The island, 17km in length and 5km wide, is known for its evergreen and wavy olive groves. Spring and autumn is the best period for hiking and various walks around the island.
Numerous beaches provide for crystal clear water and golden sand. At the nearby beach 'Paraskevi' (10 min walk) you have the choice between several watersport-activities such as water-skiing, sailing, paragliding and more. Other beaches - like Kokounaries - have scuba diving stations.
The picturesque small town has many cafés, tavernas and bars to visit.
Excursions to Athens, the Meteora monasteries, boating tours to the neighbouring islands and day trips to the marine parc (home of delphines and monk seals) can be undertaken starting from Skiathos harbour.
