Holidays in Troulos Bay

Holidays in Troulos Bay are perhaps the best of coast and country Skiathos. On an island renowned for its beautiful beaches, Troulos is one of the best – a superb sweep of soft gold sand on the south coast of Skiathos. But the village isn't totally tourist-oriented. Surrounded by agricultural land and age-old olive groves, it was – and still is – the hub of a farming community.

Successfully meeting the needs of locals and visitors alike, there's a comfortable blend of quite simple amenities in Troulos Bay. Holidays here are divided between that gorgeous shore and the village centre – which lies some way inland. There's a sprinkling of tavernas in both places and a handful of shops in the village, so all the essentials are in place for summer holidays to Troulos Bay. But don't expect discos and karaoke clubs. This is all about lazy sun-soaking days and leisurely table-talk nights.

The morning catch is often the evening menu in the tavernas. Treat yourself to barbouni and Boutari … red mullet and the local wine. Or set sail on a sunset coastal cruise, passing the tiny Troulonissa isle and the twinkling lights of seaside villages. When you want something livelier, there are boats and buses to Skiathos Town.

And if you're searching for somewhere to stay, look at the simple Hotel Astoria or, for self-catering holidays to Troulos Bay, the Vila Rosa or Boudouriani Apartments. And don't forget our late deals for last minute holidays to Troulos Bay.
