To get to Koukounaries from Skiathos town, 9 kilometers away, take a bus from the landing stage. This goverment protected beach looks like a tropical Pacific paradise. It is a splendid setting, bordered by a forest of pine trees. For the most active visitors there is a large watersports complex right at the end of the beach.

To the far west of the island, 12 kilometers from Skiathos town. Banana beach actually comprises two sweet little beaches. If you want to sunbathe in the nude, head straight for the smaller of the two, behind the rocks. Watersports such as windsurfing, waterskiing and parascending are available.

Lalaria is a shingle beach with soaring cliffs, only accessible by boat. There are numerous fishing boats departures in the morning from the port. It is worth bearing in mind that there are no tavernas there. There is a big hole in the rocks. The hole is partly beneath the surface of the water and is big enough for the boats to pass through.
