More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step aboard a 50-foot traditional wooden yacht as morning light slices across the harbor of Skiathos — teak underfoot, a low hum from the engine, and the captain giving a short safety brief. The boat eases away from the quay and the island’s pine-covered slopes drop away, replaced by bands of turquoise and the sharp white of limestone cliffs.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Protect skin and the marine environment — apply before boarding and bring a small bottle for reapplication after swims.
Wear water-friendly shoes
A short beach walk or climbing a ladder is likely; water shoes protect feet on pebbly beaches and slippery decks.
Plan for motion sickness
If you’re sensitive, take medication the night before or an hour before departure; the captain chooses calmer routes when possible.
Carry cash for extras
While most is included, small purchases or tips may be easiest to handle with euros on hand.
Swimwear & quick-dry towel
For swims and sunbathing; quick-dry towels save space aboard.
