   Skiathos ("The Island of Poets"). Skiathos is a beautiful, wooded
   island, far greener than one would expect a Greek island to be, which
   has between 60 & 70 fine sandy beaches, many of which have not become
   overcrowded & some of which can be virtually empty, even in the height
   of summer. The environment is incredibly varied & can range from
   hidden, wooded valleys (like our own in Zorbathes) to Monasteries set
   against a backdrop of barren rock, from shallow beaches with pastures
   behind to plunging cliffs with beaches nestling below them, only
   accessible by boat. There are several offshore islands which are worth
   visiting and where you will find beaches with less people on them than
   the main island ones.
   At the eastern end of the island is the main town, also called
   Skiathos, surrounding a well sheltered harbour which fills in the
   summer with every type of vessel from 3 metre fishing boats to 11
   metre yachts to 40 metre motor yachts. In Skiathos town you can find
   everything. It is a thriving, cosmopolitan centre that hums with
   energy during the summer months contrasting nicely with the lazy beach
   days. You can have a slow ouzo on the waterfront, boogie all night,
   shop 'til you drop or fill yourself at one of the many of tavernas &
   restaurants. Whatever you fancy, there will be someone catering for
   it. Places of interest & beauty worth a visit are: The church of
   Aghios Nikolaos, The Old Castle, The Bourtzi, The Plakes, The
   graveyard (where my father was buried for 3 years), The boatyard by
   Megali Ammos Beach, Papadiamantis House A walk through the upper west
   part of Skiathos, from the Health Centre down to the Plakes and up &
   back to the fish market and Old Port. This is the most original part
   of Skiathos and the narrow streets give it a lot of atmosphere. The
   main road follows the south coast until it reaches the west end of the
   island & terminates at Koukounaries beach. Many famous Artists of
   Greece, like Alexander Papadiamantis and Alexander Moraitidis were
   born in Skiathos ("The Island of Poets").
