Tsougkrias Beach

Tsougkrias is a tiny uninhabited island sitting less than 2km south of Skiathos harbour, and you anchor off its sandy beach in beautifully calm, shallow water. It's the kind of spot that feels far more remote than it actually is — lush green hills tumbling down to clear turquoise sea. A small ferry runs day-trippers out from Skiathos town (around €10 return), so expect some company in peak season, but the island has two accessible beaches so you can usually find your own slice of it.
