Reviewed By PMB1231 - Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
We make a point to visit this area ( through the back streets overlooking the old port ( keep the sea on your left all the time and you will find the area.) not the beach but the rocks that jute out and you see Skiathos port from a different angle as well as beautiful view of the sea and other beaches along the coast .. We also jump in and have a swim more often with the locals/ children who seem to enjoy jumping off the rocks. The beach is very small and not really well kept as the Taverna at the bottom is derelict. A lovely walk back down other back streets
3. Mandraki Beach

Our favourite beach, when on Skiathos, was the one at Mandraki. For it we took the bus to Koukounaries village, but got off at a stop called 'Mandraki Beach' just before the final stop at Koukounaries Beach. The bus leaves Skiathos town every 15 minutes and with many stops in between the whole trip takes about 40 minutes. Once off the bus we started a wonderful walk through a forest of umbrella pines, which are not very common in Greece, where forested coastal areas mainly consist of the nice smelling, but a bit less impressive Aleppo pine. There is a path for hikers, while drivers with a car or a bike will use a small unsurfaced road towards Mandraki with its limited parking space. Not too many people are usually found on this forest path, where one can observe various plants like strawberry trees, rock roses, heather, mastix, smilax or a not very common Daphne gnidioides with white flowers and red berries at the same time in September. Mandraki Beach has golden sand, which continues in the sea, making it easy to get into the water. In this respect just like Koukounaries Beach, but without the razzmatazz around it. There are stalls selling drinks and snacks and parts of Mandraki are covered with sunbeds and umbrellas, but there is also an area, where one can enjoy the beach without using these comforts. Walking the same way back we then loved to walk along the lagoon of Koukounaries with its interesting flora and birdlife to the final bus stop by the beach with a bigger chance to find a seat on the often crowded bus to Skiathos town.

Amazingly beautiful beach with seating on the pebbles or on the grass of the taverna property. We arrived as the sun was starting to set and ordered a delicious range of dishes that included grilled shrimp, fresh tuna, calamari and sea urchins. Every dish was delicious and we somehow found space for orange pie! I can't wait to return another year.

Great and unique spot. Easy to get to with a car from Koukounaries and Mandraki beach; the road is in good condition when coming from Mandraki, while after you park your car need to walk a bit, down to the beach. The small taverna has everything you need for a day at the beach. Enjoy this beach and lets keep its unique charm!

The family run taverna by the beach is outstanding.There is a fairly limited menu which means that all the food is home prepared and perfectly cooked,for example whole stuffed squid,octopus,large prawns and sea bass.There is also a selection of traditional Greek meat dishes.The service is super and the owners and staff are all delightful.

This secluded beach is a nice and quiet place with a very nice little taverna. Nothing fancy at all, but the usual menu at reasonable prices. Good service as well, they really want you to feel well.

Great beach, even better this year without an operative beach bar....just boats and people visiting on the commercial boat tours. Idyllic the few hours before sunset, clear waters combined with a tsipouro on the boat is unbeatable! A must visit when in Skiathos!
