Skiathos Megas Gialos beach

General information

Megas Gialos Beach is located on the northeastern coast of the island. It is a beautiful beach with fine white sand and some pebbles. The water is crystal blue, allowing for a clear view of the seafloor, which is quite rocky in some spots.
Megas Gialos is surrounded by steep, verdant slopes that offer panoramic views of the Aegean Sea.

The small and isolated beach is ideal for relaxing and enjoying some peace. It is also great for snorkeling and this is where the diving center of the island organizes some of its activities. The beach remains untouched by human activity, lacking amenities such as umbrellas and sunbeds. There aren't many facilities in the surrounding region either because it is difficult to access, except for a handful of restaurants and accommodations.

To the north of Megas Gialos, you will find the picturesque Lechouni (Nikotsara) Beach, while to the south lies the well-organized Xanemos Beach. There is a dirt road leading to Megas Gialos, which you can easily access by car from Skiathos Town. Alternatively, you can go by boat or water taxi that departs from the main port.
