Skiathos, part of the Sporades archipelago, is one of Greece’s greenest islands, boasting dense pine forests that extend right down to its golden beaches. Nearly 70% of Skiathos is covered in vegetation, making it a haven for nature lovers.
The island’s lush terrain is perfect for hiking, with trails leading through fragrant pine groves, past hidden monasteries, and towards dramatic coastal viewpoints. Koukounaries Beach is backed by a rich pine forest, offering a stunning blend of greenery and golden sand. The Mandraki Forest is an untouched nature reserve with walking paths, and the Evangelistria Monastery is nestled in the hills with surrounding greenery.
