Flights to skiathos.
easyJet and Jet2 operate direct flights to Skiathos from London Gatwick and Stansted on Saturdays for the majority of bareboat charters. TUI and Jet2 also have direct flights to Skiathos from London Gatwick, Birmingham, Manchester and Nottingham (East Midlands) on Fridays and Sundays but as most bareboat charters run Saturday-Saturday you can choose to spend some time on land either side of your charter. British Airways also have direct flights to Skiathos from London City on Fridays during the high season.
There is no direct service to Volos from the UK so the nearest airport is Thessaloniki which has regular direct flights with easyJet , Ryanair and Jet2 .
The transfer time from Skiathos airport to the harbour is only 5 minutes so it usually works out better to simply jump in a taxi when you arrive. The transfer time from Thessaloniki Airport to Volos harbour is 2.5 hours. You can also fly to Athens but the transfer time is 3.5-4 hours.

We have just landed in what appears to be the middle of a military base. Looking out of the airplane window we see a lot of decommissioned helicopters and jets. We are in Volos airport and it feels a little like landing in Greece 20 years ago, yet Volos is the 6th biggest city in modern-day Greece.
Our taxi transfer takes us on service roads before joining the main road and heading into town and to the base, which is in the main harbour at the centre of town. The charter office is on a small pedestrian street just behind the harbour and staff are awaiting our arrival with cold mineral water and fresh fruit. We board our yacht for the week, a 2016 model Hanse 505, receiving a technical briefing from the local technician. The base manager then shares information about the local area and his tips for where to visit.
The town of Volos itself is bustling with locals. A busy port town with sailing steeped in its history. The town’s symbol is of the Argos, the Argonauts legendary ship from 1600BC. We decide to enjoy our prime position in the harbour by taking in the promenade and exploring the town.
Once we are in the back streets we find a fantastic meze and tsipouro restaurant full of locals. We are the only tourists there and it is packed! Luckily, the staff squeeze us in and we enjoy never-ending courses of local seafood and traditional dishes alongside a couple of glasses of tsipouro (a strong traditional distilled Greek spirit). We discover most tsipouro tavernas involve simply ordering a drink and a selection of meze appears with it, so as long as you keep drinking, the meze will keep arriving! It is fantastic, very reasonably priced, and a great first night in Volos!
Our provisioning is delivered by the local supermarket so once it has been stowed we get underway. The sun is shining and we have glorious late season temperatures between 22-25 celsius with a steady breeze blowing. This area is known for its consistent winds as the bay is surrounded by hills and we can see Mount Pelion looming in the distance. The wind is blowing over our port stern so once we are outside the harbour walls, we get the sails out and enjoy a leisurely broad reach at 5 knots towards the middle of the Pagasetic gulf.
We sail to Pythos bay on the small island of Trikeri. There are just two other boats in the anchorage so we can happily drop the hook in the middle of the bay and swing freely. The water is aquamarine blue so in go the paddle boards and out come the snorkels. We enjoy a couple of hours of sunshine, paddleboarding, swimming and lunch before setting sail for the town of Agia Kyriakis. There is a small quay right in front of the two fish restaurants. It is a stern too mooring using the anchor and the restaurant staff are happy to help take our lines. They must have just received a good catch as octopus can be seen hanging around the veranda of the restaurant and the chef is on the end of the quay descaling a large fish. We stick a pin with our boat name in the next fish and pick a table right on the waterfront overlooking the channel. What a great way to start our trip around the Volos gulf.
Today we are up with the sunshine to explore Agia Kyriakis. We find a couple of pretty beaches complete with palm umbrellas and fresh-water showers so we seize the opportunity of a morning swim. Walking around the harbour we discover a local products store selling honey from the nearby hills, perfect for our breakfast. Whilst out walking, a man comes out of his house to speak to us. He is English and has been living here for 20 years. Rarely hearing English voices in the area, he welcomes a chat and gives us some great tips for the best tsipouro restaurants in the area.
It seems a shame to leave this tiny port town but we are heading out to Skopelos island today. There is a lot of wind predicted so we are aiming for the bay of Panormos, known for its great shelter. Heading into the channel there is plenty of wind so we reef our sails and a series of tacks gets us set on a close haul towards Skopelos. We are prepared for larger swells between Skiathos and Skopelos, so have an exhilarating sail in between the islands.
Once in the shadow of Skopelos’ hills we can feel the wind start to drop and the sea start to calm as we navigate into the southeast side of the bay to our spot for the night. We drop anchor and take long line to the rocks ashore with a spring for good measure, knowing the winds are due to come in the night. There is a lovely sandy beach in the corner of Panormos so we tender over to enjoy the last of the sunshine on the sand and then make our way to one of the beach tavernas for dinner.
As predicted, there is quite a lot of wind so we were glad of our long lines and spring line last night. We head carefully out of Panormos to see what the conditions are like. The swell is substantial and the winds are hitting 30 knots plus, so after getting the sails out we decide to have an easy day making our passage downwind on just a reefed genoa to the tiny village of Agnontas. The small quay should be sheltered from the winds and swell located at the bottom corner of Skopelos island.
After the daily ferry has departed we come alongside the quay where there are four other boats also sheltering from the wind. Once we are safely moored up the sun comes out and a tiny café behind the beach opens for an Aperol spritz in the sunshine. We are the only people on the beach for the afternoon as we enjoy the mid-20s temperatures in October and a hiatus from the wind.
There is a wonderful seafood restaurant at the end of the quay where we try some local octopus, homemade whipped taramasalata and other beautiful traditional dishes, alongside some excellent local wine.
The wind has dropped a little today so after topping up the water tanks we set sail for the island of Skiathos. Once we are out of the shadow of the island of Skopelos, we need to reef the sails in 20-25 knots of wind blowing on the starboard beam which makes for a fabulous beam reach sail over to Skiathos.
We have heard how busy Koukounaries beach can be in the peak season but by sailing in October we are able to enjoy the bay minus the crowds. Koukounari is the Greek word for pine trees, which line the shore of this huge anchorage. We anchor on the sandy bottom with depths of 5-7m, sitting comfortably facing the beach. There are only three other boats in the bay and while we can see sun beds on the long expanse of sand, there are very few people - what a treat!
We take the dinghy ashore, tie up in the tiny harbour and then enjoy an ice cream on the quiet beach. Before the sun sets, we head for a walk around Lake Strofila, which sits just behind the beach, to see some of the local bird life and wetlands. We also find a reasonably sized supermarket to stock up on a few supplies.
Dinner tonight is a short walk to one of the roads behind the beach where we find a fantastic traditional taverna somewhat strangely called ‘The Big Bad Wolf’. We all tuck into hearty Stifado, Kleftiko and Moussaka enjoying some classic Greek hospitality from the manager.
We are looking forward to returning to the tiny island of Trikeri but this time we will stay overnight in the port. This will be our last stop before heading back to Volos town. We sail down the channel towards the gulf with many other boats which all look to be heading in the same direction. The sails are set on a broad reach with one reef, hitting a steady 7.5-8 knots and managing the gusts coming over the hills. At the entrance to the gulf, we can see the little green island of Trikeri and a series of tacks gets us towards the port.
A restaurant has been recommended to us so we have booked a berth and a table for the evening since the owner has a small quay that holds just three boats. It’s a stern too with anchor on to the very end of his little quay. We have time for a walk before dinner so head up the hill towards the very top and the huge old monastery. There aren’t any vehicles on the island so it is lovely to just follow the paths amongst the olive trees until we’re at the top of the hill with beautiful views of the gulf. Then it’s back down the hill to the taverna for a fish dinner on the edge of the harbour.
It is time to return to base today. As we head out of Trikeri to go around the island and into the gulf, the wind immediately picks up and we have 20 knots blowing again so the sails come out and it's time for some fun. We take our time sailing in the gulf and enjoying a last sail before heading into port.
Anchoring on the northern side of the gulf, just outside of Volos, we have a late lunch and one last swim before heading inside the harbour walls. Once we have paid for our 20 litres of fuel (it has definitely been a week of non-stop sailing!) we navigate to the quay where base staff are waiting to assist with our mooring for the last time. It is a little windy still so the staff have got their work cut out for them, but with a little patience we are in safely and there is still time for one last G&T on board whilst watching a beautiful sunset over the harbour wall.

Popular for sailing holidays on the Northern Aegean, the island of Skiathos is a renowned holiday island
The western most Sporades island, Skiathos Island is a very traditional, laid back Greek island in the Northern Sporades. The island has 50km of beautiful beaches that make it one of the best tourist destinations for a seaside holiday in the country. One example - of 26 - is Koukounaries Beach which is a sandy beach and one of the most popular on the island with its pine forest.
Skiathos Town itself is a laid back affair with traditional Mediterranean architecture and is very appealing in its own right.
History (ancient and modern) has passed through the island but you won't find lots of Minoan or Athenian relics. It focuses more on the present, though at a pace where time almost stands still rather than blazing into the future. People have longer lifespans here and that's because of their diet and laid back culture thoughnot from high octane, high paced living.
Skiathos itself is widely held as one of the best places to begin a yacht charter in the Sporades. Thanks to its airport and ferry port (in nearby Loutraki Port) it is well connected to the rest of the world.
In the Northern Sporades Islands, Skiathos is a great place to sail off into the Northern Aegean. Skiathos Marina in Skiathos Port is a major charter yacht hub and is easily accessed from the island's airport.
A Skiathos yacht charter is great for exploring the Sporades archipelago by sailing yacht or motor yacht including nearby (and larger) Skopelos Island where the movie Mamma Mia was first set in Skopelos Town. To the NE is Alonnisos, a forested and hilly island with beautiful winding dirt roads that is so laid back it makes Skiathos look like Kos.
The strait between Alonnisos and nearby Kira Panagia is a national marine park where you will see a wide range of marine flora and fauna including the mediterranean monk seal and different turtle species.
Heading north toward Thessaloniki on the mainland there is also the Chalkidiki Peninsula. There are three 'fingers' to this peninsula and for those seeking to genuinely escape, we would recommend the Athos 'finger', the northernmost of the three where only Greek tourists tend to visit.
Do consider a trip on a yacht charter Skiathos to Pagasetic Gulf with Volos either the end point or part way of a longer-legged 7 day trip. You will get a mix of pace of life on this trip from the frenetic Volos Port to fishing villages where you wonder if time has touched them at all.
Skiathos Airport
This is a holiday airport that only operates international flights between early May and October. It is a short hop from there to the marina.
Athens Airport
With considerably more airlines flying into the country's capital city you can catch a bus or taxi to Agios Konstantinos and then catch a ferry to Skiathos Port. This takes a few hours from end to end but given the quality of the luxury yacht charter holiday you're likely to have, could well be worth your time.
Skiathos Marina:
This is the main yacht hire marina for the Sporades archipelago. A number of yacht charter companies have fleets there that include crewed yacht charter, a skippered and bareboat yacht charter of catamaran , monohull sailboat, motor yacht and luxury yachts .
Berth Characteristics:
Max Length 65m (213 Feet)
Max Draught 10m (32.8 Feet)
List of additional services: Water, shore power, WiFi, laundry, waste water collection, garbage and recycling, doctor's surgery, bar, restaurant, market, rent-a-car, ATM, shipyard
Being the main boat rental centre of the Sporades Skiathos Marina is the perfect place from which to explore these sleepy, laid back Greek islands on a sailing holiday. There are opportunities to go to the mainland too, both on a skippered or bareboat charter.
7 days - Sporades archipelago: This is more about getting ashore and exploring as against blasting out to sea on long legs. Alonnisos will be your port on Day 3 with stops in Loutraki on the same island and then Skopelos. After the rugged island of Allonisos you head out on a longer leg to Skyros. You then head across the Aegean back to Skiathos.
14 days - Skiathos to Volos one way: This is an opportunity to explore the Pagasetic Gulf, where the tale of Jason and the Argonauts is based in part - he built his trireme in Volos. Volos itself is a busy modern port - a bit of a shock to the system after a week of tiny fishing villages and unspoilt harbours. You will find some astoundingly beautiful, deserted beaches and safety from the Meltemi for much of the trip - with the exception of the leg across the Aegean Sea into the gulf.
The sailing season runs from mid May to mid October with July and August being the busiest months for yacht charter.
The sea is cooler at the beginning of the sailing season but there is rainfall in Spring. As the days lengthen you will still see green fields and flowers in May and the winds can be quite benign too.
Come September and October the seas are still like a warm bath.
In the Northern Aegean the climate has a fairly short, hot summer by comparison to more southerly areas of Greece.
April to mid June: There is rainfall and the temperatures build steadily from the mid-teens to the mid 20 degree C range. There are sometimes gentle southerly winds, thoough these are replaced by ever stronger N-NW Meltemi winds that are rarely hazardous but make for exciting sailing at times.
Late June-August: You'll be unlucky if you see any rain, though it could be welcome in the summer heat! Temperatures are from 30s with recent hot days exceeding 40. The northerly Meltemi winds can be fierce and can hit F7 for a solid few days.
September-October: The seas remain warm and the Meltemi eases. These months can be the best time of year to sailas the temperatures are often in the comfortable low to mid 20s. In mid-October the tourist season ends.
The main points to consider are what is your budget, have you got the necessary sailing experience and qualifications to manage the boat if it's not going to have a skipper, whom you are taking sailing, where exactly you wish to go and what will the weather be like on the proposed dates of your trip.
Skiathos Marina is in Skiathos Town, just below the final approach of aircraft flying into Skiathos Airport.
May to June are the best times of year to go on a sailing vacation out of Skiathos thanks to the comfortable heat and gentler sailing conditions. July and August are hotter and the Meltemi winds can make for exciting sailing, but even so are the most popular months for a boat rental in Greece.
You will typically pay 50% up front on booking the yacht hire and the balance on arrival. You will either pay a security deposit with your credit card on departure or can get insurance covering damage in advance. In some cases (such as the recent Covid situation) charter companies may be more flexible but this depends on the individual charter companies themselves.
If you are at sea and in danger, call MAYDAY on VHF Ch16 or ring the coast guard on your phone if you have reception. If you have a mechanical fault and can make it to or are on a mooring you will be able to phone a help line number given by the boat charter company.
You should consider do you have the experience to handle the yacht charter or boat hire before you book and where do you want to go along with what the weather will be like. Bring warm weather and cool weather clothing if it looks like the weather can be cool as well as warm and remember at sea it can be cool on most evenings.
If you want to sail without a skipper then you will need relevant qualifications like RYA Day Skipper/International Certificate of Competence (ICC)/ASA 104 Bareboat certificate or the US Sailing Certificate. For small 'day boats' or if you choose to have a skippered on board your yacht charter you typically don't require licences.

In 480 BC, the fleet of the Persian King Xerxes was damaged on the rocks off Skiathos while he was on his way to fight King Leonidas of Sparta and his 300 soldiers; Leonidas and his men later beat the Persians at Thermopylae. Over a thousand years later, in 1807, the first Greek flag was created and hung on the island’s Evangelistria monastery. Subsequently, many leaders of the Greek Independence war were sworn in at that very spot.

We can help you find the perfect yacht or catamaran to sail from Skiathos!
Skiathos has such incredible scenery and weather that it's a major tourist island for landlubbers, but it's also a phenomenal place to sail from. You can join the crowds by slickly mooring your yacht just off the heaving beaches, or completely escape them by heading off to nearby Skopelos (where Mamma Mia was filmed, and which is, incredibly, even more beautiful than Skiathos!) or further afield to the quiet fishing village of Patitiri or the super remote anchorage at Kira Panagia, where you'll share the bay with dolphins and seals.
There's almost always glorious sunshine from May to October, reliable winds, and it's easy to explore the rest of the Sporades from here - which makes it the perfect starting point for your sailing holiday! We can help you find and book your ideal yacht or catamaran, with one of our trusted Charter Partners - just get in touch or search in the pink box with live prices and availability !
SAILING RATING: Beginner / Intermediate - With easy line-of-sight navigation, clear waters and light winds it's a great start point for novice sailors most of the year - though conditions can be more challenging in July & August when the Meltemi comes to play. Peak season is July & August, but you can sail here from March to October.
MUST-SEE: Our full suggested itinerary is further down the page, but we'd highly recommend taking in the stunning island of Skopelos (made famous by Mamma Mia ), watching the sunset from Loutraki , and getting away from it all at the quiet anchorage of Kira Panagia .
WHAT WE CAN OFFER: We have a great range of yachts and catamarans available for charter from our trusted Charter Partners, all available bareboat or Skippered. We can also arrange a Hostess, Personal Chef and other crew.
GETTING THERE: The Marina is c. 35 minutes from Kos airport. We can organise transfers for you - a 4 person taxi is c. €50 - 60.

Skiathos is a brilliant starting point for discovering the Sporades islands – and there is much to discover! There are 14 islands which make up the Sporades islands - it would be great to sail around them all inside a week, but given the distances involved, it's simply impossible, unless you sail all day, every day, from dusk till dawn. And that would leave little or no time for exploring the villages, beaches, bays, cliffs, monasteries, tavernas and bars along the way, and it wouldn't feel like much of a holiday!
The islands being reasonably close, it's not as easy as you think to get a decent amount of sailing miles in there, but this route clocks in at 108 nautical miles, which means an average of around 18 nM a day. Yachts and cats can travel at 5-6 knots, so that means you should be able to do the sailing in about four hours of meaningful sailing a day, which leaves plenty of time for leisurely meal-times, spending time exploring the things you find interesting at the start and end points each day, or spending time adventuring in bays and finding beaches on the way. You are on holiday, after all...
If you look to your port side as you leave Skiathos marina, it possible to see our destination in the distance on the nearest island because it’s only a few miles away in a straight line – however, we’re on a sailing holiday, and we want to get some sailing in and get to grips with the boat, so we’re going the long way around, basically circumnavigating the whole island of Skiathos.
We'll start by heading South-west, keeping the coast on your starboard side, as we work our way round. As well as practicing sailing at pretty much all the points of sail, you'll be able to get more of an idea about what Skiathos is all about. You'll pass a multitude of beaches, including the ever-popular Koukounaries beach on the South-west, the party beach of Big banana beach and the neighbouring nudist Little banana beach on the West coast, and the beautiful Lalaria beach on the North of the island. Stop a while at one of the smaller beaches if you fancy, or if things are getting hot.
From Lalaria beach, we’re going to hop across due East to Skopelos island, and the small fishing village of Loutraki. Loutraki is a beautiful little village, and the local beach was made famous by being the shooting location for the recent Mamma Mia film. There’s a couple of tavernas here (or more up the hill in the nearby village of Glossa), but the best thing to do here is to settle down and watch the sun setting over the island of Skiathos. Glorious.
To get there, we’re sailing North from Loutraki to the northernmost tip of Skopelos island, likely reaching against the prevailing wind. Once you’re round the top of the island, it’s a single tack and a broad reach to follow the coastline South-east to Skopelos Town, which you’ll find nestled in the bottom half of the island. One the way you’ll pass plenty enough bays and beaches, which might be worth a look – the most popular are Agios Ioannis and Glysteri.
Pulling into Skopelos Town might well be the highlight of your trip, with the town surrounding the marina like a giant amphitheatre, so get your camera handy. Now is also a good time to try to remember to take a group shot of your crew!
Once focussed on fishing and growing vines and olives, nowadays, Skopelos is principally a tourist town, with people flocking here from around the world, and some arguing that it is the most beautiful island in the Mediterranean. That said, it attracts a different crowd to those in Skiathos, and you’ll find it a relaxing place to be, and it’s said that people actually walk slower here. There's a good range of shops and services, and it's worth stocking up because we're going remote for the next couple of days.
From Skopelos, we’re heading north-east, into the prevailing wind, and basically sailing along the length of the West side of Alonissos island, then onwards to Kira Panagia. You should be beating your way up the wind, and by the end of the day you should have a well-trained crew, and you’ll understand the boat so much that you’ll be communicating about tacks by just nodding at each other.
The best and most sheltered anchorage on the island of Kira Panagia is on the North of the island, where there’s a narrow channel that leads into a large bay area, which has plenty of space for throwing down the anchor, and good holding conditions. Pay attention to your charts and plotter when sailing the narrow channel inwards as there are some shallow reefs along one side.
Kira Panagia is part of the Alonissos national marine park, and it is a very tranquil place to rest awhile. The only building on the whole island is a monastery. It was originally built in the 16th century and renovated in 2017, but there has been something on that site for much longer (there are graves outside which date back to 500 AD), and there are a couple of signs that a couple of Roman and ancient Greek buildings were once built on the island.
From the bay on the South of Gioura, head South-west and head around the south side of Kira Panagia, enjoying the wilderness of it all. Continue South-west, running with the prevailing wind, to the Eastern side of Alonissos, and our destination, Kalamakia, is halfway down on your starboard side.
Kalamakia is a quiet fishing village with a population of just 66 people which has some amazing fish restaurants along the waterfront, a small beach, and a pretty view overlooking the channel to nearby Peristera.
Peristera is like a nature reserve. It’s completely uninhabited (save for a few shepherds who tend to their flock every once in a while), and overrun with wildlife. The bay you're in should have monk seals swimming and flopping around, plus plenty of birds (look out for Falcons), sea-turtles and it's possible to spot dolphins in the Alonissos national marine park (if you haven't already). The island is also famous for an ancient shipwreck that was found opposite the town of Steni Vela which dates back to 500 BC – it’s an ancient Greek cargo ship which was heading to Skopelos with 1,500 vases of wine from Halkidiki. You need scuba gear to see it properly, but it's only 30m below, and the crystal-clear waters mean you can spot something down there.
From Peristera, we’re heading to the picture-postcard Patitiri, further south-west down the coast of Alonissos. The prevailing wind should be behind you as you run with the wind down the straight, and it's only a short sail away.
You'll find the pretty town of Patitiri nestled in between the pine trees. It’s a relatively modern village that was only built in 1965 – people moved here after a nearby town was destroyed in an earthquake. It's a delightful place to sit, reflect and people watch, and the people here don't seem to have a care in the world. As well as a few Tavernas, there's a couple of bakeries and a mini-market, and a small beach. The marina tends to fill up quickly in peak season, but you can also anchor in the south side of the bay.
Over the past few days we’ve gone from an uninhabited island to a small village (Kalamakia) to a big village (Patitiri) and now it’s time to return to the sights and sounds of a town (Skiathos). Skiathos is obviously still a world away from being a big city, but it will feel big and busy after the last few days, and you won’t be able to believe the constant noise.
From Patitiri the journey is a simple hop around the South side of Skopelos island, and up to Skiathos. You could also go to Skopelos and over the northern side of it, but going around on the south side of the island means that we’ll have completed a circumnavigation of all four of the main islands we have visited on this itinerary, and seen all there is to see on each island. The first half of the leg will see you running with the prevailing wind (bonus points for throwing in a goose-wing, by the way), before reaching across the wind to Skiathos when you get beyond Skopelos island. Work your way back into the marina, returning the yacht to the vague area you picked her up from, make the lines good, shut down the engines, and we’re done. High-five the rest of the crew for doing a great job!
There's no fuel berth in Skiathos marina – usually a mobile tanker will come around at some point, but check how your charter operator would like you to refuel. Someone will come along and inspect the boat (often with a diver to look at the hull), but you’ll still be able to sleep on-board tonight, before checking-out and returning to dry land proper in the morning.
If you've not had chance to explore Skiathos then now is the time to get out there. It's a lively place to be all week, but Fridays are particularly boisterous affairs as a lot of the package operators (both for sailing and for beach holidays) have changeover day on Saturday, so this will be a lot of people's last night. Have a safe trip home, thanks for the memories, and we'll count on you to be at PlainSailing.com soon – to start to plan your next great adventure!
The Meltemi winds tend to arrive for 2-3 days at a time, and when they do arrive, they can be anywhere from Force 5 to Force 8 (hence needing to check the weather before heading out – don’t just assume it will be a perfect day for sailing if you don’t appreciate this sort of drama!). They're strongest in August.
There’s not really any such thing as prevailing winds in winter, and weather systems are as likely to arrive from the tropical regions to the South of the Med as they are from the cold mountain passes to the North. But the temperature is still warm, and sailing can still be pleasant.
Skiathos marina is located just five minutes walk away from the old town of Skiathos, which is a popular tourist town offering everything a sailor could wish for: places to pick up supplies, a myriad of bars and restaurants, and lively nightlife.
If your flights land on a Friday or Sunday, you'll be looking for a place to stay on dry land before you start or after you finish your holiday. When we're in town, we like the Babis Hotel , Skiathos Somnia or (if the boss is paying!) Skiathos Luxury Living .
Latest skiathos yachting news.
The ancient Greek of Skiathos has been transformed into a bustling contemporary holiday location and a fantastic place to cruise to on a Greece luxury yacht charter . The island is best experienced by water, where you have your plush accommodation, top quality entertainment and sumptuous meals with you for every leg of the journey as you cruise from the scenic towns to uninhabited isles.
This Mediterranean superyacht charter holiday destination is a haven for sun worshippers in the summer months, and Skiathos is considered by many to hold the distinction of having the best beaches in all of Greece: Amongst the 65 beaches on the island are some of the most secluded in the region, where motor yachts and sailing yachts of all sizes can sunbathe and party in privacy, even at the busiest times of the summer yacht charter season.
Skiathos Town is the main port of call for bars clubs and a nightlife away from the beaches, however there are plenty of landmarks across the island to draw culture lovers and the artists and photographers in your group. With such an emphasis on sand and sunshine, there is also a strong selection of water toys available at the most popular beaches to complement your own collection on board, and diving and snorkelling sites are myriad for swimmers of all ability levels.
Fantastic beaches, Wide variety of water sports on offer, Tranquil surroundings, Unique local landmarks, Active nightlife
The Sporades Islands are located within the Aegean Sea north of Athens and are a quieter charter grounds than the popular Cyclades , just a short cruise to the south. Although the Sporades are still a favourite tourist destination in Greece, there is an emphasis on nature tourism and the nightlife is mostly concentrated in Skiathos Town and beach clubs at the most popular sites. The northern beaches tend to be quieter and once you've had enough of the parties you can simply sail away to a quiet anchorage to awaken to the sounds of nature.
Nearby, Skopelos, Alonissos and Peristera have plenty more stunning beaches with a shipwreck and national marine park to explore. The islands provide excellent Scuba diving and snorkelling sites with crystal clear lagoons and interesting caves, while inland there are hiking trails that will take visitors through scented pine forests, up hills and along coastal tracks to showcase the very best that the island has to offer.
Skiathos Town is the largest settlement on Skiathos and has features and a character that is typical of old Greek towns, including neo-classical designs, seaside forts such as Venetian Bourtzi or Il Kastro to the north and atmospheric monasteries. Aside from the typical whitewashed houses and narrow alleyways of the old town, sailors and other yacht charter enthusiasts should include in their day itinerary the local churches in the Island, and these include the Madonna the Limnia and the Three Hierarchs. A walk around Skiathos Town will also take you to Agios Nikolaos Church and Clock Tower and the Maritime & Culture Tradition Museum to immerse yourself in the local culture.
Owing to the number of beaches - 65 in all - on the Island of Skiathos, most of the major events in this popular yacht charter destination happen along its shores. The majority of the fun activities and events take place in the preferred beach locations such as the Banana Beach and those at Platanias, Megali Ammos, Achladies, Vromolimnos and Koukounaries.
What makes Skiathos unique is that there are no 'villages' on the island, only small settlements that are concentrated along the coast which have sprung up in response to the booming tourism on the island. Each of these settlements has accommodation, food venues, cafes, bars, boutiques and local shops whose opening hours may be season dependent, therefore affecting how many tourists are in the area. This being said, there are plenty of beaches accessible only by water, giving you excellent options for a quiet charter with family and friends hidden by high cliffs and verdant forests.
As soon as the sun sets the towns and beaches of Skiathos turn into vibrant and effervescent night spots, comprised of several bars, cafes clubs catering to different musical tastes and providing an ambiance from high energy to low key. Food and wine tours can also be organised for the afternoons or evenings to ensure that you taste the true flavours of the Sporades during your stay.
Skiathos offers the perfect balance between nightlife and nature for superyacht charters in Greece. For those looking to spend their days kayaking, paddleboarding, taking thrilling high-speed rides on the towable toys and jet skis, exploring under the waves or just enjoying some well deserved rest, there are few luxury yacht charter destinations this perfect.

Nestled in the northern Sporades Islands of Greece, Skiathos is an island like no other.

In fact, there are over 60 beaches in less than 50 square kilometres of land. Whether you are with your family and friends or on a romantic getaway, there is no better place for a private yacht charter than in Skiathos.

Skiathos experiences a very typical Mediterranean climate with long, hot summers and mild winters. However, unlike other Greek islands, the large mount Pelion affects the regional climate by cooling some parts of the island and blocking winds on others. Therefore, the best time to visit Skiathos is from June to September. During these summer months, the temperatures can average around 30 degrees Celsius or more during the day, but with cool refreshing breezes during the night. This makes it ideal for a private yacht charter, as you can enjoy long hours of sunshine by the waters without getting too hot.
When searching for yacht in Skiathos, you will notice that many come with the option of hiring a skipper or not. While it is possible to charter a yacht bareboat, there are many advantages to having a professional skipper onboard with you. Firstly, they will take care of all the technical aspects of navigation such as sailing, docking, and anchoring the yacht. This will leave you with more time to relax and enjoy the ride. Moreover, a skipper will be familiar with the surrounding area, making sure to show the very best of Skiathos. Ultimately, having a skipper on your private yacht charter will provide you with the most luxurious and relaxing experience, making for an unforgettable holiday.
With such beautiful natural scenery, it is difficult to know where to go and what to see in Skiathos. This is why we have constructed a list of ideas that can help inspire your holiday.
Skiathos is undoubtedly one of the greatest Greek islands to sit back and soak up the sun. The peaceful ambience provided by the sea and the pine forests is ideal for relaxing and spending quality time with your party. We recommend going to what has been named the third most beautiful beach in the Mediterranean: Koukounaries Beach. This beach is on the western coast of the island, just 20 minutes away from Skiathos Town. Our suggestion is that you spend the day navigating around the island on your private yacht charter, snorkelling and scuba diving at your own leisure. Then, during the evening you can moor in Koukounaries and enjoy some fresh seafood at one of the local restaurants. Finally, you can end your day by heading to Skiathos Town and wandering along the historic centre. You can dock your yacht in the natural harbour which is centuries old. Alternatively, if you prefer to leave the island for a day trip, we suggest you visit Bourtzi, a small peninsula with a Venetian fortress from 1207. You can hike around the area until the sun sets in the evening or catch a glimpse of the breathtaking panoramic view of Skiathos.
One of the biggest advantages to chartering a private yacht in Skiathos is that the island is close to other amazing locations. If you have time to take a longer journey, we highly suggest you navigate around the Mediterranean and explore as much as you can! If you have less time, you can circle around the other Sporades Islands such as Skopelos and Skyros. However, you can also take your yacht to neighbouring archipelagos in Greece such as the Cyclades, the Dodecanese, or the Ionian islands.
