                  Skiathos – Activities
                  Water Sports: at the beaches of Koukounaries, Banana, Kapapitsa, Ambelakia, Megali Ammos and Vromolimnos.
                  Diving: diving at the emerald waters of Skiathos with good underwater visibility. You will find 3 diving centers in Skiathos, the first in Koukounaries, the second in Tzaneria and the third in east-port Marina.
                  Boat Excursions: to Skopelos-Alonissos and the Marine Park. Also boats depart every day from the old port of Skiathos to Lalaria-Kastro-Tsougrias, ticket costs about 20euro.
                  Hiking: For lovers of nature and hiking trails having 25 paths which in total exceed the 197 kilometer distance.
                  Planespotting: The airport of Skiathos is the “Saint Martin” of Greece, the runaway is short and narrow and you can watch flights landing and taking off so close from you! Many ”planespotting” fans choose Skiathos because it’s cheaper than going to the airport of Sint Maarten. Read more and watch videos about planespotting in Skiathos here.
                  Horse Riding: You will find the horse riding center which operates for the last 21 years on the island behind the beach of Koukounaries. Also, every year on Easter Monday a horse race is taking place near the lake of Koukounaries in honour of Agios Georgios.
                  Of course we will not miss our report at the beach bar in Banana Beach where many young people choose to dance and drink cocktails.
