Sail from Skiathos to Skopelos for a full-day cruise that visits Kastani (the Mamma Mia beach), Panormos for lunch, and Milia for a final swim. Expect clear water, pine-fringed bays and easy shore landings on a roughly 7.5-hour shared boat trip.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Step aboard at Skiathos Port and feel the harbor ease away—the bow parts a glassy Aegean that dares you to dive. The boat cuts a north-easterly line toward Skopelos, green slopes rising from the sea and pine trees leaning toward the water as if to listen. Kastani arrives first: a compact sweep of pale sand and turquoise water, the beach made famous by the 2007 film and framed by cliffs and umbrella pines.
