Skiathos

Skiathos Marina sits right in the heart of this buzzing Aegean island town, putting you steps away from the waterfront bars, restaurants, and the famous Papadiamantis Street. Reach the dock on VHF Channel 9, but know that most slips are snapped up by locals and charter fleets, so guest berths are limited — call ahead. The setting more than makes up for it, with the old town, golden beaches, and regular ferry connections all within easy reach.
