Serviced Apartments in Skíathos

Skíathos is a wonderful tourist destination just off the east coast of mainland Greece. The name can refer to both the island of Skíathos itself - which is one of the Northern Sporades group of islands - and also Skiathos town, where most of the island's permanent inhabitants live. Skiathos self-catered apartments and apartment rentals are available all over the island, but most are located around the main town.

Skiathos as a town really began to be developed as a tourist destination back in the mid-1960s. During this period, a coastal road was constructed from Skiathos town to Koukounaries, 16 km away. Construction also began on serviced accommodation in Skiathos during this time, as well as maintaining the local beaches, such as Lalaria beach with its beautiful natural archway through a cliff. All of this redevelopment and investment has paid dividends, with the town now being an excellent tourist spot.

The town is also home to the main port on the island from which you can catch boats and ferries of various sizes to the other surrounding islands. Those destinations include Skopelos, a larger island which includes two reasonably sized mountains to which it is possible to take daily climbing excursions. Another potential destination from your Skiathos holiday rental is Volos. This port city is actually back on the mainland and has a population of over 100,000 people. Both these destinations can make a nice change from the somewhat smaller Skiathos itself.

Another great benefit to booking a serviced apartment in Skiathos is as a leaping off point to visit the rest of the island. Travelling south along the coast you will find beautiful coves and deserted beaches, as well as interesting villages such as Ftelia, Katsaros and Archladias. Slightly further south than that you will find a small peninsula which is home to numerous fishing villages and quaint little bays. With the island not being very big, all of these are within reasonable travelling time, great for if you have kids in tow.

As well as the traditional sunbathing and swimming in the sea, there are also plenty of companies offering watersports such as jet skiing, waterskiing, windsurfing and qualified instructors offering scuba diving classes. Best of all, all of this is right on the doorstep of virtually any Skiathos short-stay apartment. Cafes, restaurants, tavernas and bars are all to be found nearby, offering great food and entertainment in the evenings.
