Big and busy, Koukounaries has reasons to be one of the island's most popular beaches: It's at the end of a bus route, it's backed by a nature reserve [note: allergy sufferers may have problems with pine trees in Skiathos and some other islands in Greece], the sand is unusually soft, the water's clear - as always in Greece - and watersports are on offer.There are plenty of tavernas around, hotels too, within easy walking distance.

If the crowds and noise are not to your liking, ten minutes walk away is the more relaxed Banana Beach, or grab some wheels and head for the north of the island for more isloation.
