Fine sand in a pretty little bay, backed by pine trees, Banana has clear protected water and a couple of tavernas, one of them [pictured] being the funkiest establishment on any island in Greece.

The beach is not a long walk from the bus terminus at Koukounaries Beach - which is also excellent though much busier.
Next to Banana is Little Banana, a popular nudist beach.

Skiathos is a favoured destination of the British and claims to have 65 beaches. Pah! But they do have enough space to burn Brits by the dozen without having to stack them in tiers.

Less crowded but needing personal forms of travel are the beaches on the north of Skiathos, where Mandraki and Elias stand out with their wide swathes of uncrowded soft sand and funky tavernas.
