What to expect

Skiathos is bursting with rugged Aegean charm, and there are few better ways to explore the island's secret spots than with this 60-kilometre, off-road 4x4 tour. You'll venture to Evangelistria Monastery and the former capital Kastro first. Then, take wow-factor photos over Elias Bay, swim at Kechira beach and drive through the famous Mandraki forest.

Start the morning by hopping into your 4x4 and heading deep into Skiathos along paths and roads that only an all-terrain vehicle can pass through. First up is the beautiful Evangelistria Monastery, where you'll visit the museum. Next, is the former capital, Kastro. Abandoned two centuries ago, its eeriness is matched by the spectacular beauty of its location on a rocky headland.

There's a quick photo stop at the church of Agios Alexandros – famed for some of the best views on the island – after some time at Kachira beach. Here, you'll have free time for lunch, a spot of sunbathing or a swim. Finally, you'll pass by the easy-on-the eye Elias Bay and the island's tallest peak, Koukounaries, before driving through Mandraki's pistachio-green pine tree forest back to resort.

Skiathos Town Evening Tour with Local Liqueur Tasting

Are you ready to fall in love with the charm and character of Skiathos Town on this laid-back town walk? We'll kick things off by wandering along Papadiamantis Street – the heart of the town, packed with shops, cafés and everyday local life. From there, we'll stroll up to the Church of the Three Hierarches, a striking slice of island history. Vasilis, one of our expert guides, says, ‘Only a few steps from the centre of town are hidden corners, with beautiful churches and peaceful cobbled streets. Skiathos played a hugely symbolic role in Greece's fight for independence – our first flag was raised here in 1807.'Next, we'll swing by the Skiathitiko Spiti – an old home-turned-museum where you'll get a feel for how islanders lived back in the day. After a nose around, we'll sip a little local liqueur made by the owner – trust us, it's a treat. Then it's on to the maze-like Plakes quarter, with its narrow lanes and timeworn houses, bright splashes of bougainvillea and classic blue shutters. Limnia is next, where you'll have the chance to pop into either Panagia Limnia or the Holy Trinity Church – both full of stories and island spirit.We'll follow a coastal path down to the Old Port, soaking up the sea views before heading back towards the start. But not before one final stop – the House of Alexandros Papadiamantis, one of Greece's literary legends. Just next door is Café Nostalgos – said to be his old haunt – where we'll wrap up the tour with a drink and some dreamy views.
