9Tranquil Beaches

Skiathos is famous for its beaches—Koukounaries, Lalaria, Banana, and more—but in autumn, these coastal paradises transform.

The crowds disperse, leaving golden sands and turquoise waters mostly to yourself. It’s the perfect time for long, reflective walks along the shore, quiet swims in the sea, or simply relaxing while listening to the gentle waves. Photographers and nature lovers especially appreciate the softer light, which enhances the natural colors of the sand, sea, and surrounding pine forests.
