The settlement of Aghia Paraskevi is a tourist resort extended around the homonymous sandy beach, at the southern coast of the island, well protected from the strong northern winds. The settlement is situated at a distance of some 8,5 kilometers southwestern to the town of Skiathos and half kilometer southern to Platanias. It owes its name to the homonymous small country church, hidden in the shade of huge perennial plane trees and tall aspens, which grow just by the sea.

You have a lot of alternatives for accommodation by the sea to choose from in the settlement; you will also find taverns and cafés for meals and cool refreshments.

Swimming is possible at the very well organized beach in front of the settlement that offers full facilities for swimming, sunbathing and sea sports.

On the 26th of July the locals celebrate the name day of Aghia Paraskevi with a local religious feast (“panighyri”). If you are around, don’t miss it!

For any problem the corresponding services of the town of Skiathos, 8,5 kilometers far away to the Northeast, are available for you.
