In fact, the beach is largely regarded as one of the best and most unspoilt in the Mediterranean.

Things to do

There are plenty of activities that will keep you engaged while staying in this Grecian dream location such as water skiing, banana boat rides, or maybe you just want to hire a paddle boat and take a gentle excursion where you can take a swim just where you fancy. For some land based excitement, pony trekking is a popular past time, too, along the area's picturesque mountain trails with their magnificent views. For a change of pace, Skiathos town is only a 30 minute bus ride away from Koukounaries should you wish to experience its charming narrow streets replete with chic boutiques, cafes, bars, Greek tavernas and restaurants that cater to every taste and palate. Not that you can ever wary of the sparkling Aegean that faces Koukouneries, but if you wanted a slight diversion from the sea, nearby is a picturesque lake and park which make a great alternative to the beach. Wildlife lovers will love spending time under the summer sun spotting the various birds that seek sanctuary amidst this peaceful location.

In the evening there's a good selection of bars, too, including some right on the beach where you can enjoy a cocktail or a cold beer just a stone's throw away from the sea. What could be better than enjoying your favourite drink as the evening sun sets the sky aflame over the sea?
