About the Beach

Agia Paraskevi Beach is a beautiful and long sandy beach on the southern coast of Skiathos, also known as Platanias beach. It features fine golden sand and very shallow, crystal-clear turquoise water, which has earned it a Blue Flag certification for 2026. The beach is well-organized with many sunbeds, umbrellas, and a wide range of facilities, including water sports, jet skis, and boat rentals. A unique feature of this beach is the presence of local swans that often swim near the shore, adding a charming touch to the scenery. The surrounding area is lush with greenery and features several traditional tavernas and beach bars that provide a vibrant social atmosphere. It is a top choice for families due to the smooth entry and the safe, calm water. The atmosphere is friendly and reflects the modern yet authentic spirit of the island. You can easily reach the beach using the local bus from Skiathos Town. It is a central part of the island's seaside life and offers a wide, welcoming horizon for all.
