Whizzing past Skiathos town on the 10-minute boat ride to Arkos island is exhilarating and well worth it. This tiny island is very relaxed, with only 10 sun beds and one taverna.

Make a day of it, have some tsipouro (clear Greek wine brandy similar to raki), watch the sun go down and get picked up by the speed boat that brought you earlier.
