Flights to Skiathos

Sunsets, sandy beaches and clear blue seas make this Aegean island a summertime favourite. But look past these charms and you’ll soon discover there’s more to Skiathos than just good looks. It’s the scent of pressed olives, the monasteries draped in bougainvillea and the tales of mythical heroes wound into the history of the ancient, sun-bleached ruins.

Unwind on this Greek island

Fly to Skiathos with British Airways and wander around the historic Old Town. Here narrow cobblestone streets, chalk-white buildings and bustling tavernas offer a warm Greek welcome.

While there, pop into a bakery for a sweet slice of baklava before heading towards the church made famous in the film Mamma Mia!, Agios Nikolaos. You can climb to the top of its clock tower for panoramic views. 

Make sure to make the most of the island’s 60 beaches too, many of which boast Blue Flag status. Forest-fringed Koukounaries, tranquil Elia and remote Krifi Ammosare are all popular spots. 

Evenings can be enjoyed in Skiathos Town, where waterfront bars offer sunset views and the opportunity to dance all night. Book your holiday to Skiathos today.
