Maratha Beach Bar in full
Maratha is a narrow golden-sand beach shaded by pines, roughly 500 metres before Koukounaries, and this is the only food and drink on it. Cocktails, cold coffees, light snacks, salads and fresh fruit are served to your sunbed on the sand, with showers and changing cabins on site.
It is operated by the Skiathos Palace Hotel above the beach β guests can charge back to the room β and it opens seasonally, roughly 15 May to 27 September, 10:00 to 19:00. Sunbed sets run around β¬20.
Our researchers initially placed this venue in two different locations, one near Troulos and one at Koukounaries Bay. The Skiathos Palace attribution is the better-evidenced, and Maratha sits between the two, which is the likely source of the confusion. Reviews are polarised β some call it a gem, others find it average and overpriced.
