The Skiathos coast is full of gorgeous towns and secluded swimming spots that are best accessed by boat. Sit back, relax and let a seasoned skipper sail you some of the best bits aboard this exclusive cruise that comes complete with a light lunch and wine. And with maximum groups of just 16 on board, you've plenty of space to soak up some sun.

Climb aboard at Skiathos port, and you'll be warmly welcomed by the crew. As you enjoy a mid-morning snack with complimentary coffee and tea, your captain will plot a course for some of the best swim spots and beaches in the area. And after working up a sweat with some serious tanning time on deck, the bluer-than-blue seas will beckon you in.

There'll be a light lunch served with a glass or two of local wine before more swimming and beach relaxing awaits off the remote islets of Arkas, and Tsouggria. This day-long excursion is filled with beautiful views, landscapes, and incredibly Instagrammable locations.

    Just book it. If you’re looking for a sailing trip and a relaxing, intimate experience where you get to relax on a beautiful sailing ship with the wonderful Maria and captain exploring multiple beaches then this is a perfect trip. Plenty of snacks, drinks and a hearty Greek lunch. I couldn’t fault it. Book it.

    We were not picked up to enjoy what was meant to be the highlight of our honeymoon. After waiting 45 minutes, we contacted TUI customer services and 2 hours later were told it was an error by the operator and we could book another day. We asked for Monday and were told that should be fine and we would receive tickets. Later a message was left on our app saying it was fully booked on Monday so a refund was being processed. Spoilt our honeymoon!!

Skiathos town evening tour with local liqueur tasting

Skiathos town evening tour with local liqueur tasting

Are you ready to fall in love with the charm and character of Skiathos Town on this laid-back town walk? We'll kick things off by wandering along Papadiamantis Street – the heart of the town, packed with shops, cafés and everyday local life. From there, we'll stroll up to the Church of the Three Hierarches, a striking slice of island history. Vasilis, one of our expert guides, says, ‘Only a few steps from the centre of town are hidden corners, with beautiful churches and peaceful cobbled streets. Skiathos played a hugely symbolic role in Greece's fight for independence – our first flag was raised here in 1807.'Next, we'll swing by the Skiathitiko Spiti – an old home-turned-museum where you'll get a feel for how islanders lived back in the day. After a nose around, we'll sip a little local liqueur made by the owner – trust us, it's a treat. Then it's on to the maze-like Plakes quarter, with its narrow lanes and timeworn houses, bright splashes of bougainvillea and classic blue shutters. Limnia is next, where you'll have the chance to pop into either Panagia Limnia or the Holy Trinity Church – both full of stories and island spirit.We'll follow a coastal path down to the Old Port, soaking up the sea views before heading back towards the start. But not before one final stop – the House of Alexandros Papadiamantis, one of Greece's literary legends. Just next door is Café Nostalgos – said to be his old haunt – where we'll wrap up the tour with a drink and some dreamy views.
