7-day itinerary Β· Bus and boat, no car required
A full week on Skiathos, with a day trip to Skopelos and a walking day built in. Arrive and walk the town, then the near beaches, a round-island boat, Skopelos, the north by car, a walk or a swim, and a last morning in town. Bus journeys cost €2 to €3.
Standard package length. Enough time to leave the island for a day without losing the holiday.
Waterfront, Bourtzi, dinner at the old port.
Megali Ammos, Achladies or Vromolimnos β close enough to get to slowly.
Caves, Kastro, Lalaria.
The neighbouring island by ferry from the new port. Check the timetable the day before: the crossing and the port it lands at both vary by vessel.
Evangelistria, Kastro by land, and Aselinos if you have a vehicle that suits the track.
Either the ST6 trail towards Kastro, which is a serious 13km day, or the far west beaches at stops 25 and 26 if you would rather not.
Papadiamantis house, the shops on Trion Ierarchon Square, and the runway if your flight is late.

No. This itinerary is built around the bus, which serves every south-coast beach for β¬2β3, and the boat trips that leave from the Old Port. A car is only worth hiring for the northern half of the island, and then usually for a single day.
Most guides tell you July and August. Those are the hottest, busiest and most expensive months, which is not the same thing as the best.
Half of Skiathos has no road on it, and the island itself is reached by sea or by air and nothing else.
Half the island has no road on it. That half holds a medieval capital, three sea caves and a white pebble beach with no way in but the sea.
