The cute sandy beach of Elia (the word means “olive tree” in Greek) is situated at the western coast of the island some 15 kilometers western to the town of Skiathos.

Accommodation facilities are available in the near by area of Koukounaries (some 3-4 kilometers southern to the beach). Elia is not organized at all, but the sea is crystal clear and the landscape pretty exotic. It is an ideal place for relaxing within a wonderful natural environment, far from the noisy and crowded popular beaches.

For any problem you should address to the corresponding services of the town of Skiathos, 15 kilometers far away to the East.

The easier way to access the beach is by the excursion boats, departing daily from the town of Skiathos to get people to these remote beaches. If you wish to come by car, you have to park it some 2 kilometers before arriving to the beach and continue on foot, walking in a thick wood of pines and on sandy soil. Motorbikes can reach the beach, although via a difficult road.
