Old capital of Kastro


Cooled by the meltemi winds and jutting out into the waters of the northern coast on an isolated headland are the clifftop ruins of Kastro, This old walled medieval town was the major inhabited town of Skiathos until 1821 although all that remains now are three small churches. Connected to the mainland by just a narrow strip of land, there are majestic views across to mainland Greece and also down to the beach below.

Byzantine monasteries


Dating back to the time of the Turkish occupation, most of the monasteries on Skiathos are now in ruins. Still standing, the monastery of Evangelistria enjoys a delightful setting poised above a gorge and is famous throughout the Aegean as being a former refuge for freedom fighters during the War of Independence and site of the first raising of the modern Greek flag in 1807.

Cruise the Greek Islands to Skopelos


The lush green island of Skopelos is the largest of the Sporades and lies a short ferry ride across the water from Skiathos. With glistening whitewashed houses set around a horseshoe shaped harbour, Skopelos Town has a much more relaxed and traditional Greek feel with some delightfully uncrowded beaches on the sheltered southern coast, the most popular being Stafilos and Velanio, the latter a favourite of the naturists.

Cruise the Greek Islands to Alonissos


One of the Aegean's most idyllic and unspoiled islands is Alonissos, further from the Greek mainland than Skiathos and, as a result, considerably less developed. Its rugged coasts yields secret beaches accessible only by local caique and its marine park, one of the first of its kind in Greece, harbours the endangered monk seal.
