Holidays in Agia Paraskevi take you to the pretty east coast of Skiathos. It’s a quaint, tranquil village where you can spend days relaxing and immersing yourself in the island’s fascinating culture. Located on the south coast it’s close to some of the area’s best beaches, as well as being just a 15-minute drive away from the capital, Skiathos Town, and some of the island’s beauty spots.
The town is all about long lazy days spent sprawled out on golden sands and enjoying watersports and delicious fresh seafood. There are long stretches of sand with gently shelving waters making it ideal for families, as well as quieter coves where couples can enjoy a picnic in a secluded setting. In the town itself you’ll find little tavernas which serve up traditional Greek platters, alongside fine local wines, warm breads, creamy dips, and more.
Luxury holidays in Agia Paraskevi
Agia Paraskevi is the quiet side of Skiathos. The whitewashed streets of the town date back to the island’s past and house little tavernas, friendly bars, and luxury hotels, and villas. The picturesque church is worth a visit, while boat trips from the beach give you the chance to explore the coastline from a different angle.
Going for night dive is one of the best experiences you can have on the island. The waters are so clear you can see all sorts of marine life from 30 metres. If you want to learn to dive as a beginner, or top-up your skills with more advanced dives there are plenty of PADI courses available.
Alternatively, you can spend your time shopping instead of in the water, as Platanias is only 5 minutes away, there you'll find all sorts of little shops selling souvenirs. For more variety you can make your way to Skiathos Town, where there will be plenty of boutiques, side-street shops, and jewellers.
