BEFORE YOU GO
A well-planned trip.
Getting around
If you mean Aghia Paraskevi on the island of Skiathos, you can reach it from Skiathos Town by bus along the southern coast; check the timetable and stop according to your accommodation. In high season the buses can be crowded, so consider a taxi or a rental car for more flexibility. Scooters and quads are common, but the roads can be narrow and require caution. For the beach and nearby services, it’s often convenient to get around on foot.
When to go
From June to September you’ll find the warmest weather and beach services in full swing, but July and August are the busiest and most expensive months. June and September are generally a good compromise for enjoying the sea with pleasant temperatures and fewer visitors. In spring and early autumn the weather can be changeable and some venues may have reduced hours.
Where to eat
In the area you’ll find tavernas and casual spots, often serving Greek food, fish, and simple dishes to enjoy after a day at the beach. For more options, head to Skiathos Town, where there are restaurants and cafés of all kinds. In high season, it’s advisable to book in the evening; ask about the daily specials and the catch available.
Quick tips
- 01In summer, check the bus schedules in advance and keep in mind that evening services may be less frequent.
- 02Bring beach shoes: along some stretches of the coast, sand can give way to pebbles.
- 03If you rent a scooter or a quad, wear a helmet and check the insurance coverage and the vehicle’s condition before setting off.
- 04For a quieter beach experience, try to arrive early in the morning or late in the afternoon, especially during the peak months.
