Skiathos (population: 6,088 ) is the major island and access point to the Sporades Islands. Although it is neither the largest nor the most beautiful of the Sporades islands, most visitors do not travel beyond Skiathos since it is the first port of call for most boats and has the only airport.
While it is undeniably the most visited island in the Sporades, it has several faces, so don’t be deceived by the bold cover of this book packed of great Greek secrets. Away from the main road, you’ll discover breathtaking views, small tavernas, and plenty of lush green terrain suitable for moderate strolls or more strenuous climbs.
On Skiathos, there is a village known as “The Village” by the inhabitants, or Skiathos town. It is situated on the east end of the island and is home to the airport, port, a variety of stores and sea fronts, as well as pubs and clubs.
