Holidays in Megali Ammos

If your well earned break makes you justify being a bit greedy, you really can have the best of both worlds with holidays in Megali Ammos. The name, literally translated, means Big Beach … and it says it all. Well, not quite all. It's certainly a sharp description of the resort itself. But there's another big plus to this place ... It's a short and sweet 1km away from the buzz of Skiathos Town.

In Megali Ammos, holidays focus on the long water's edge. A thousand metres of shingle shore is more than enough to intersperse peaceful pockets of calm and patches lively with watersports. And it's just about the right length for leisurely strolls in the shallows …with timely punctuations to sample seafront tavernas. Stick to simple Greek dishes – souvlaki, say, and a seasonal salad topped with chunks of feta cheese – and your lunch is a treat that's tasty and cheap. Holidays in Megali Ammos are essentially quite quiet, but when you're ready to exchange barefoot casual for bustling cosmopolitan, the island's capital is your next door neighbour. There are gift shops and galleries, a pretty waterfront lined with eateries, a pair of ports for ferries and fishing boats, and bars and discos for party people.

Self-catering holidays in Megali Ammos include the easy tempo Nicolas Apartments – with their regular barbecues and palm-fringed pool. There's more than a touch of luxury at the Aegean Suites Hotel. And it's worth looking at our late deals for last minute holidays to Megali Ammos.
