Nea Skioni holidays

With rolling mountains in one direction and the sea in the other, holidays to Nea Skioni set the scenic bar high.

Blue Flag beaches

The main beach here is like a scene from a postcard, with shallow waters and textbook golden sands. Not only does it have Blue Flag status, but there’s a playground for families and a volleyball court where you can let out your competitive side. When you get hungry, you’ll find tavernas serving traditional favourites like chicken gyros along the shoreline, as well as a handful of places serving local seafood dishes.

Turtle-spotting trips

If you fancy a day out, Mavrobara Turtle Lake is a top pick. It’s around 30 minutes’ drive away, and as the name suggests, it’s home to plenty of turtles. There are two rare species here, plus a web of picturesque walking trails leading up to the water. The routes are fringed by plenty of natural beauty – you’ll pass through pine forests and olive groves on the way to the turtles’ natural habitat.
