As home to most famous beach in Greece, Koukounaries, a Skiathos summer holiday isn't short on resorts. Most are purpose built rather than integrated into existing settlements so although they may lack a traditional atmosphere they are sympathetically built and are well fitted out with plenty of amenities. Beaches are gorgeous, sandy, on safe waters and with a terrific offering of the whole range of water sports, a Skiathos summer holiday appeals to families and couples alike.

Most people don't head to this island for the nightlife which is fairly low key and based around the resorts. A summer holiday to Skiathos is about revelling in the delights the island has on offer. The guaranteed sunshine for lazy days, the evenings that start with a stupendous sunset and the nights that culminate with an alfresco munch up on the waterfront under a starlit sky. A Skiathos summer holiday is totally dreamy.
