More about Koukounaries Beach
Another option is to rent a boat and explore the beauties of the island’s coastline, while, if you choose to stay on the beach till the late evening, you will be rewarded with one of the most glorious sunsets in Skiathos.
Before leaving Koukounaries, don’t miss out on strolling through the thick pine tree forest and discovering the hidden gem that lies right behind the forest: a biotope of stunning natural beauty, known as the Strofilia Lagoon. Covering an overall surface of 68 acres, it is home to a number of animal species, many of which are migratory. Along the banks of the lagoon, you will have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet such bird species as white and black swans, herons, cormorants, moorhens and, with a little luck, even rare flamingos!
The area around Koukounaries is one of the very few places besides Skiathos Town to be inhabited and offers plenty of facilities including beach bars, taverns, rental rooms and large hotel complexes. A local bus links the beach to the capital every 30 minutes, but you can also get there via one of the water taxis departing from Skiathos Port.

ivana26 04 Dec 2008Beach bars and sport clubsKoukounaries is one of the most famous beaches on Skiathos. Surrounded by a lot of greenery, it looks great from above. The water is very clean and there are some beach bars and sport clubs around. Kounanaries gets very busy and lively in summer. If you are an active type, you will love it. If you are looking for some quiet, better go in May or September, when the peak season is off but the weather is still good. In a small cove close to Koukounaries, I saw some naturists. I don't know though if it is an official naturist beach.
