Skiathos

This small Aegean island town has a café and restaurant scene that punches well above its size, with scenic viewpoints across the surrounding sea and hills. The capital of Skiathos island, it sits on the southeastern shore with a working port connecting by ferry to Skopelos, Volos, and Agios Konstantinos. The preserved house of the Greek prose writer Alexandros Papadiamantis is the town's main cultural landmark.
