The most famous beach of Skiathos and one of our country’s most internationally known. It is called "Chrisi Ammos” (Golden Sand) as its sand is very fine and shines under the summer sun. It has been nominated several times as being among the best beaches in the Mediterranean.
Out of the blue, crystal clear waters, this beach offers a unique opportunity for relaxation and enjoyment, as the forest of Koukounaries reaches down to the sea, with the Strofylia Lagoon (located therein), a rare wetland, which is now a protected area.
