Skiathos History

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.

If you take a one kilometre stroll along the New Port of Skiathos towards the old shipyard - you will come upon the lovely small church of Agios Georgios - in English, St. George. Built in 1871, the small church is set on a beautiful piece of land with stunning sea views.
