Holidays in Aghia Paraskevi

An introduction to Aghia Paraskevi

In a sheltered bay on the southern coast of Skiathos, a gorgeous belt of golden sand sweeps westward from Kolios Beach to Aghia Paraskevi. Holidays here take full advantage of this soft and sun-bleached shore.

Aghia Paraskevi means St Friday … but this is no longer a Man-Friday place of castaway calm. The beach is abuzz with watersports – so, while there's plenty of space to toast yourself to a deep tan, you could go for something to work-up an appetite and get the adrenalin flowing …waterskiing, paragliding or whatever else floats your boat. And, speaking of boats, there are several sailing from here to the lovely Lalaria beach or the village of Kastro. You could opt for a water taxi to Skiathos Town too – though there is a regular bus service for a more conventional journey.

So holidays in Aghia Paraskevi are a lively playground during the day … but the tempo does change to nice and easy once the sun has set. Nearby Platanias village is a popular place for evenings – a peaceful spot for good Greek food in unpretentious tavernas.

For 4-star summer holidays to Aghia Paraskevi, look at the Hotel Atrium – just a stone's throw from the beach.
