Skiathos Info
Skiathos is the westernmost island in the Sporades group of islands. It consists of the main town (Skiathos town - pop. 4,988 in 2001), and the communities of Koukounaries, Kanapitsa, Vromolimnos and Troullos. The island of Skiathos has 70 beaches all around it, including one nudist beach at south end of the island in a resort called Banana. Skiathos town is a port which shelters small boats and from where ferry services connect to Skopelos, Volos, Agios Konstantinos and the rest of Greece.
Much of the island is forested. The area around the villages and Skiathos Town are farmland. The island's forests are pine and are located in the southeastern part of the island. The island of Skopelos can be seen from Skiathos with the more distant islands of Euboea and Skyros also visible in clearer conditions.
The island is linked to mainland Greece with sea routes from Thessaloniki, Volos and Agios Konstantinos and also to the rest of the Sporades (all by hydrofoil). There is airline connection (Olympic, approx 45 mins) to Athens throughout the year.
