Some attractions
On a relatively small area, just over 47 sq. km, there are many historical sights, a visit to which will add variety after the wedding ceremony. For example, you can visit:
| Attractions | Short description |
| Burtzi | On a small peninsula, you can visit the main city fortress, located near the central harbor. The Venetians were involved in the construction of the fortress, later it served as their residence. Today it houses a house-museum with a city library and a theater. |
| Annunciation Monastery | Its second name is Evangelistria. Its construction was carried out by ascetic monks, who then lived on Mount Athos. The monastery dates from the 17th century. The uniqueness of the impressive building is given by its location – the inability to see from the sea. This was done in order to protect against pirate invasions. |
A visit to the Azure and Dark Grotto, natural attractions will bring special pleasure. Climb the majestic Kastro Rock. Here at the top rises a fortress (once consisting of 300 houses, 30 churches), built by the Scythians in the 16th century.
Beach holiday
Skiathos, with its small territory, is dotted with beaches – there are about 60 of them, many of which are considered the best in all of Greece. The beach, with the interesting name “Leaky Rock” (Tripia-Petra), has an interesting feature – a rock-arch, the photo of which can be found in various tourism catalogs and guidebooks.
The beach of Koukounaries, whose coastline is sandy, has the shape of a horseshoe. It is distinguished by magnificent picturesque landscapes, because in addition to the sea, a river flows nearby, and visiting a pine forest you can stumble upon a lake.
Why Skiathos
