A few steps to go out, the stairs are a bit big (at least one of the ways up, there's another set of stairs with smaller steps not much further from the port), so if you have trouble walking or knee pain maybe take it slow but the view up there is gorgeous.
Fantastic views! Some steep steps to get there though! Bonus ! Go in the evening and what mama Mia in the local open air cinema for free! You look into it from above!
From this viewpoint, you get a stunning panorama of the city – you can see everything from here. It’s the perfect spot for photographers. It's a bit tiring to go up, but it's worth it. The city itself is amazing, full of authentic Greek charm with its blue-and-white houses, narrow streets paved with stones, stairways, and beautiful buildings. Skiathos is the most beautiful and authentic of the Sporades islands. You shouldn't miss this place if you are on the island. I really fell in love with it.
A wonderfully quaint little church overlooking the town of Skiathos. Yes, there is a bit of a climb up steps, but the view of Skiathos town and the harbours is well worth the effort. Ideal place for those memory photos to be taken.
Good view of both ports of Skiathos town, not much of sunset though as obviously they look south!😆
Here you can find the MOST exclusive view of the Skiathos Town. The Bell tower Is so cute and the terrace Will give you the opportunity to take wonderful photos of the Sea in front of the Town. From the Town you can reach the little church by walking along typical greek alleys, passing through typical greek houses.
Great spot, superb view, amazing tiny streets and houses to get up and down, use another way to the way back
There are quite a lot of steps up but absolutely worth it! The views are beautiful. Great place to watch the sunset.

I only went in for a browse but the woman who owns this shop was absolutely lovely!! All of her pieces (made herself) are stunning and she was so lovely; showing me pieces that I might like based on my current jewellery and she seemed so passionate about what she does. Definitely worth a visit!!
Beautiful shop / gallery / art space. Harriet is lovely and extremely informative. She helped us choose 2 special rings and gifts to take home. Highly recommended for quality, original pieces. We’ll be back. Thanks Jo & Becky
Located right on the harbour front,The Blue House Art Gallery is simply a must visit destination in Skathos Town! As the name suggests,the items in this establishment are pieces of art which,even if your not purchasing are well worth casting your eyes upon!. Along with many bespoke,finely hand crafted rings,necklaces,broaches and earrings you can also discover beautiful pictures,ornaments and a stunning array of 'objets da'art'. The wonderful lady who greets you upon arrival is extremely helpful and knowledgeable as she sources many of the metals and stones for the jewellery herself from far flung corners of the globe. With many of the pieces being designed and constructed 'in house',items can be adjusted or tweaked during your stay on the island. Well worth a visit...
Wonderful place with unique pieces of jewellery and ceramics. The lady running the shop is a total professional and knows her trade. She creates jewellery herself and can find the best piece for anyone. Very knowledgable. I advise everyone to take a look at the shop and its contents.
My Husband and I absolutely love this shop I have some beautiful pieces of jewellery from here and absolutely love them we had great customer service and so much help in choosing the right pieces. We have become friends with such a lovely couple and we can’t wait to return next year. Thank you so much for. Maria & Dan ❤️
Amazing jewellery and art. Could have bankrupted myself in there but so many beautiful and unique pieces.
Great reviews and well worth it. Designer owned with some exceptional silver, gold and titanium pieces. Not your average tourist-market jeweller, not by a long way. Fabulous.
Great jewellery shop with lots of beautiful and unique pieces. At first we've walked in just to have a look but from the multitude of option it was impossible not to find something to like. Areti was very friendly and helpful showing us everything we wanted and also trying to understand what we want. I've loved a pendant with a raw shaped aquamarine stone with a beautiful color and transparent. Also I've fount a nice silver chain that was very nicely done and Vassilis was able to customise it together with the pendant so that both have a matching silver raw polish and work with a ring that I was already having. All were ready after one day and I loved the result. My fiancee got a pair of earrings, simple and elegant but in the same time very artsy done with silver and gold. We recommend this shop, it's definitely worth to be checked if you are around.

On tour with my colleagues to learn about Skiathos the lovely family welcomed us with a filoxenia spirit. Marena and Fotini are lovely. Highly recommended visit.
Stepping into the Skiathitiko Spiti Museum is like being transported back in time. This beautifully preserved, early 20th-century traditional house is a true testament to the rich heritage and way of life on Skiathos. It's not just a collection of artifacts; it's a living, breathing story of a family and an island. From the moment you enter, you're enveloped in an atmosphere of genuine charm. The meticulous care taken to restore and maintain the house is evident in every detail. The ground floor, with its traditional furnishings, fireplace, and vintage textiles, truly paints a picture of daily life. The hand-knitted bamboo chairs and the stunning 1883 chandelier are particular highlights that showcase the craftsmanship of the era. Upstairs, the exhibits continue to captivate. The family loom, old photographs spanning generations, and personal heirlooms offer an incredibly intimate glimpse into the lives of those who once called this house home. It's fascinating to see documents from the late 1800s and early 1900s, adding a layer of historical depth. What truly elevates the experience is the personal touch. The owners, who are descendants of the family that lived here, often provide guided tours, sharing anecdotes and insights that bring the house and its history to life. Their passion for preserving their family's legacy and the island's traditions is infectious. The Skiathitiko Spiti Museum is a private initiative, and it's clear that this is a labor of love. It offers a unique and authentic experience that you won't find in larger, more impersonal museums. If you're looking to delve deeper into the cultural tapestry of Skiathos beyond its stunning beaches, this museum is an absolute essential. Allow yourself to be enchanted by this charming piece of living history – you won't be disappointed!
A very unique experience, of a traditional Island Greek house. The owner ( great great grand daughter an absolutley friendly lady )of the original owner showed us around the house,telling us about the history of the house, up untill 5 or so years ago they used to live in that house Before they opened it to the public. The owner, told us of the history, and also the historical items in the house, especially one vase (over 2200 years old) stands prominent in the downstairs living room. The tour continues upstairs showing how her great great grandmother lived and her sea faring ancestors. The tour finished with a drink brewed by the family. If you are ever in Skiathos and want a unique insight, I thoroughly recommend this.
Historic house museum looked after by the descendants of the family that originally owned it. They give a short tour and are very knowledgeable. They charge a small fee€2.50. Would recommend.
A really lovely little museum put together with so much love and care by the great grand children of the original owners of the house. One if the family showed us round in a guided tour and gave time and attention to answer our questions! We even got to see their lovely tortoises! A bargain at 2.50€! Well worth a visit! Thank you so much.
Absolutely gorgeous!! The family is so kind and the museum is stunning. Recommended for a visit!
The house turned into a museum is a real treasure. We were impressed by the stories we heard, the kindness of the host, the wealth of objects passed down from generation to generation and which recreate the atmosphere of the old times. To better understand the island and its inhabitants, you must visit Skiathitiko Spiti and learn about their history!
Great experience of being inside an authentic house of a rich family from Skiathos that lived there for the last two centuries. A very cheap admission ticket includes a short excursion in English and Greek and even a shot of a homemade liquer. All artefacts are original and carefully collected by several generations of this family. Definitely recommended to visit! Books are offered too.
