I am petrified of flying but was so desperate to visit Skiathos that I travelled nearly 1900 miles by coach to get there. Took around 56 hours but was worth every minute. Beautiful Greek paradise. I’d do that journey again tomorrow to be back there
I have been going here for years mostly to the Troulos area, since my kids were very little (both much older now) our favorite Greek island and probably my favorite place ever!! The amazing Greeks are so welcoming and family orientated, stunning scenery, fantastic food, perfect bus system. That plane landing can be a little breath taking at times 😁
Great travel guide. Good to know about transportation costs on skiathos. Achladies beach was also one of my favorite and the boat trip from there to skiathos town
Great video! I am considering flying to the island solely for the excellent aircraft spotting opportunity! It is one of the best airports for aircraft spotting. There are maybe 2 or 3 like that in the world, but Greece is local to all Europeans! ;)
Yes its an amazing place for planespotting. The restaurant right next to the runway is worrh a visit while you wait for the next plane. Thx for stopping by 👍❤️
Thx ❤️ I hope You enjoyed the video. So You are from Puerto Rico? Such an amazing place with lot of history. Heard You have the best biloluminiscent bay "glowing plankton". (Mosquito Bay). Will for sure visit in the future! Thx for stopping by. 🙏💯
Hi thx for stopping by. Scooter/motorbikes from 10€-15€/ day depending on size of engine. Car from 20€ /day. During high season from 30€+. You get a small car. but If you're 1 or 2 person there should not be a problem. The Island is rather small and the car rides is not more than 1h normally. Enjoy Your stay!!! 🙌
Hi, In my Opinion,Yes. The buses are in time and most of them have AC. Some operating hours they might be crowded. I have been in Skiathos serveral times and only needed car once since we wanted to visit specific places where the bus did not traffic. Enjoy your time in Skiathos. 😃
@kneza96BG probably because of new regulations in Greece that says x% of the beaches must be without sunbeds. I think the number is around 60%. Good in many ways, but it has it cons as well. 😃
Spent a lot of time on skiathos! It will never be the same like 20 years ago! The airport ruined the greek culture! It's not greece anymore, It's tourist's something
I would say its one of the greek islands that is best suited for familys with kids/small children. The water/sea is normally shallow for a bit so you dont have to worry, and there are lifeguards on most of the beaches. Enjoy your stay! 😁

Skiathos is also the island where Papadiamantis one of the greatest writers was born and lived
@stbsabs4370 Yes indeed. All good things this amazing Island gives the world 🤩
Does Skiathos have good public transportation? Thanks im advance
Hi, In my Opinion,Yes. The buses are in time and most of them have AC. Some operating hours they might be crowded. I have been in Skiathos serveral times and only needed car once since we wanted to visit specific places where the bus did not traffic. Enjoy your time in Skiathos. 😃

Koukounaries no longer has sunbeds or bars .Your video needs updating.
I guess I'll have to give it a new visit. Thx for your comment. 🙏
What? Why not? Where did they all go?
@kneza96BG probably because of new regulations in Greece that says x% of the beaches must be without sunbeds. I think the number is around 60%. Good in many ways, but it has it cons as well. 😃
@@travelconleoIf it's nr 26(bustop) it has sunbeds and beer 😉 I was there last week.
@@lindatbackman wow. Thanks for updating us. Then we know, beers and sunbeds available 🙌🥳

Great vid, 3 weeks and counting......😊
Thx! So you are going there in 3 weeks? Enjoy your time there. Im sure you will have a wonderful time. 👍🙏
@@travelconleo Thanks, can't wait 👍
Is this island ok to travel with small kids? Or do u recommend another one?
I would say its one of the greek islands that is best suited for familys with kids/small children. The water/sea is normally shallow for a bit so you dont have to worry, and there are lifeguards on most of the beaches. Enjoy your stay! 😁
