24 Hours in Skiathos: Beaches, Culture & Adventure
24 hours in Skiathos, Greece. Beach hopping, Skiathos Town, Koukounaries, and the simple logistics that make this island way easier than it looks.
Skiathos is compact, insanely scenic, and basically built for a low-stress Greek island day. This is the fast version - where to stay, what to eat, how the bus system works, and what’s actually worth your time if you’ve only got one day.
