Koukounaries beach is one of the best beaches I have been to. It has a gorgeous sandy beach and the sea is very inviting- crystal clear. There are lots of amenities including takeaways, beach restaurants, WC, changing facilities, water sports and even a boat that will take you into Skiathos Town. This is a must see beach when you are... More

We have visited the beach no several occasions and love walkin in the nature reserve with its beautiful lake and wildlife. We even saw a peacock this year! The area is unspoilt, reflecting the care that the local community have for the environment. There are swans and ducks and a lovely little bridge, leading to the harbour and the beach.... More

We were here in may, the first week of the season so it was lovely and quiet, very few people on the lovely long beach which suited us fine! Sun loungers were very close together, so not so good peak season! nice walking beach!!

Very nice but busy in high season. Been coming here over 40 year period-just seems to get more crowded in the high season. Good transport, parking , bathing and facilities.

Koukounaries Beach is on of the good beaches of Skiathos. Clean, with incredible smelling pine-trees, friendly water. However, Kuokounaries is one of the most crowded beaches on the island and this ruins your pleasure. A solution could be to go in the morning, because the people are starting to come from 11:30-12:00. Another idea is to go to the other... More

Koukounaries is a beautiful beach but there are too many sunbeds for our liking. There are a number of small cafes and depending on where you sit, there may well be loud music blaring out. Great if that's what you are looking for but we much prefer the quieter beaches.

This beach is okay, but like some places in Skiathos, it is victim to slightly over-zealous marketing. It s not the best beach on the island. It is always crowded and noisy. A walk five minutes either side provides much better beaches. Skiathos is about more than just the south of the island. Try Mandraki, Asselinos, Kekhria - the list... More
