Nearly 200 km of hiking routes cover the entire island of Skiathos, which can take you up to the island’s peaks, through fragrant pine forest, and along meandering streams.

Trails are clearly marked and well-maintained, and range between 1 and 6 hours to complete.

There are guided group hikes covering just about everything, from the island’s history to its unique ecosystem.

One of Skiathos’ most rewarding hiking trails highlights the medieval castle on Kástro, which was built to protect the island from pirates.
Alternatively, you can take the path east of Skiathos Town that leads to Agios Georgios Beach, offering beautiful views of the coast.
