The family-friendly Skiathos Palace overlooks the sandy Koukounaries beach on the island of Skiathos.

The Best Hotels in Skiathos are primarily located in the island’s capital town, Skiathos Town, but mostly on or around the stunning beaches of Koukounaries, Troulos, and Mandraki Beach. The island is a little gem with a completely different landscape from the Cyclades islands, covered almost entirely in pine trees.

Skiathos belongs to the Sporades group of islands in the northern Aegean Sea, and it has recently been discovered by many international celebrities who now visit it yearly (such as Kate Hudson). Skiathos combines unparalleled natural beauty with unspoilt beaches and one of the clearest sea waters ever.

Skiathos island is not that close to Athens and you can reach it by a 3.5 hours ferry from Agios Konstantinos port, which is 2 2-hour drive from Athens, or you can alternatively (and easier) just take a direct flight from Athens or a few European cities like Stockholm, Milan, or even Bristol. There is an international airport on the island of Skiathos. Still, international flights operate only between May and October (always check Ferryhopper for the latest ferry schedules and Booking.com Flights for the most up-to-date flights to Greek islands).

I think you’d be better off renting a car in Skiathos, as you will have more flexibility to explore the island, but it’s unnecessary, and a taxi or the local bus should be ok.
