Luxury Skiathos Holidays

Overview

On first impression, Skiathos makes a big impact thanks to its contrasting landscape of red-roofed houses, rolling green hills, and crystal-clear waters. Scratch the surface and you'll uncover even more character, such as remarkable historical attractions, local cultural charms, and a pulsating nightlife. Luxury holidays in Skiathos are a truly compelling proposition.

Despite its diminutive size, Skiathos has been blessed with an abundance of riches. More than 50 beaches and sandy coves line its shores, lapped by a sapphire-coloured sea. It's a similar story inland, where undulating hills of lush greenery make Skiathos one of the most scenic and verdant of the Greek islands.

 

When To Visit

Due to the island's location in the far north of the Aegean Sea, Skiathos has a shorter season than its compatriots. Even so, during the peak summer months of July and August, Skiathos enjoys impressive average temperatures of 26 degrees.

Most beach bars and seaside tavernas are usually 'open for business' between June and mid-September, but some may close sooner than this. In early October, flights become less frequent and hotels will start shutting their doors.

Food & Drink

Much like the rest of the country, Skiathos takes great pride in its food. Whether you're eating at a rustic restaurant in the heart of Skiathos Town or enjoying a romantic dinner at your luxury resort, most menus will feature a mix of traditional dishes and ‘modern taverna’ fare.

One of the best things about dining in Skiathos cuisine its use of home-grown produce. The island's fertile landscape is overflowing with olive groves and fruit orchards, whilst freshly caught fish and seafood are found in the nearby waters every day.

Passport & Visas

British passport holders don't need a visa to enter Greece and can stay for up to 3 months. Passports should be valid for the proposed duration of your stay. Visit GOV.UK for more information about passports, visas, and entry requirements.
