Opposite of Skiathos lies a group of little uninhabited islands that can be visited for day trips, as they offer lovely beaches and a supremely relaxed atmosphere.

The most visited island is Tsougria, the biggest one of all. It has a couple of beaches, but the most popular one lies in a sheltered bay and offers amazingly clear turquoise water, that remains shallow for al long time, making it a very safe place for little children. there is a nice kantina where you can find food, drinks and shade. It is very popular amongst people that have their own boat to go there, as it is easy to moor in the bay.

On the back side of the island there is another beach with a recently established kantina, very atmospheric, and only accessible by private boat, or when you walk from the other beach through the woods. Its beach is not as nice, but it is always quiet and relaxing.

When you go there with a (rental) boat beware of the rocks, there are some very tricky rocks just out of the coast line, that you can see with clear water, but not when there are waves. This applies mainly to the first beach you will encounter when you reach Tsougria coming from Skiathos.

Traditional Greek boats (kaiki) make day trips to Tsougria from the harbour of Skiathos. The leave in the months of July more or less every hour. During the early and late season the schedules are less frequent.

 

On the right side of Tsougria lies Tsougriaki, a very small and rocky island where many birds nest. It doesn't have any remarkable beaches, but it feels like discovering a new place when you end up there alone with your company, having the small beach all to yourselves. It is just fun to visit for a few hours of sun, swimming and relaxing.

Arkos is a small island left of Tsougria. There you have great views to Skiathos Town and the whole island. The atmosphere is relaxing and laid back, and it is even fun in the night time, as the kantina remains open until late during the summer season. Only private boats go to Arkos, and it is great to rent a boat for a day and visit all these lovely places by yourself.
