Megali Ammos holidays
Holidays to Megali Ammos whisk you to one of Skiathos's best beaches. And with the capital right on your doorstep, there's plenty of culture and nightlife, too.
A beach near the city
This little village on Skiathos’s south coast is all about the beach, which is one of the best on the island. Away from that, you’ll find narrow streets and alleys dotted with tavernas and minimarts. But the best part is that you’re only a 20-minute walk from the capital, Skiathos Town, with all the bars, culture and shopping that delivers.
Blue Flag beach
This popular sand-and-shingle beach – the nearest one to Skiathos Town – might be narrow, but it stretches for nearly 2 kilometres. Here you’ve got clear, shallow waters and plenty of loungers on the sands. There are tavernas and hotels nearby, where you can have a spot of lunch. And if you want to find a secluded spot, head east along the sands and walk around the rocks.
Near Skiathos Town
It’s just over a kilometre to this cosmopolitan town, where you’ll find an old town full of cobbled, winding streets and whitewashed buildings. There are museums, a cultural centre and theatre, plus an open-air cinema that shows English films with Greek subtitles. And when you need somewhere to eat, try the harbour, which is dotted with tavernas and seafood restaurants.
