Skiathos Old Town Plakes Neighbourhood

Skiathos Old Town Plakes Neighbourhood

Take a stroll behind the Old Port and discover one of Skiathos’ oldest and most charming neighbourhoods named Plakes. Characteristically, the picturesque old houses with balconies seem to drip off their perch on the rocks into the sea.

Get lost in the maze of its colourful backstreets. Breath in the peaceful atmosphere. At every other turn, you will happen upon a delightful little square, featuring a tiny shop, a chair to linger on, or an unexpected sea view.

The ancient cobble-stoned alleys will finally lead you to the steps of its western most point, a serene, pine covered peninsula reaching into the crystalline, blue-green Aegean waters.

This enchanting setting is sure to leave a lasting impression, capturing the heart of Skiathos visitors.
