Flights to Skiathos

Find your cheap flights to Skiathos with Jetcost

Flights to Skiathos land at the small Skiathos International Airport. The main resort area Skiathos Town does become crowded but you don't have to venture far on Skiathos to discover friendly tavernas serving delicious food, pretty almost undiscovered bays and beaches and stunning scenery wherever you look. Start your visit with a drive or a boat trip to the atmospheric ruins of Old Kastro to the North of the island. This fortified settlement was built in the 14th-century to protect islanders from pirates but was eventually abandoned in 1830. Also on Skiathos:

• Visit the home of the famous 19th-century author Alexandros Papadiamantis
• Take a tour of the tranquil Panagia Eikonistria Monastery
• Visit the beach at Kanapitsa for its water-sports or swim in the crystal clear waters off Lalaria Beach.
• Take a boat trip to Skopelos where Mamma Mia was filmed
• Take a boat tour to the sea caves on the island's Northern coastline

As its a popular destination for both tourists and visitors from mainland Greece you won't have any trouble finding a good value hotel in Skiathos. Island accommodation runs from self-catered apartments and villas where you can set your own timetable to boutique hotels in Skiathos Town or beachside resorts with all-inclusive packages. For the best choices and prices reserve your accommodation when you book your cheap flights to Skiathos.

It's also a good idea to rent a vehicle when you book your flights to Skiathos. Arrange to pick your car hire Skiathos up at the airport when you arrive and your island explorations can start straight away. You will find surfaced and reasonably well-maintained roads around the coastline and to the South of the island but expect more rural conditions as you drive into the interior.
