Off Road Safari

Unveil the secrets of the Aegean paradise of Skiathos on an amazing 60kms route to explore the island and witness the hidden beauty of nature that can only be found on the island. 

This exciting day begins with a visit to the historical “birthplace” of the Greek flag, The Monastery of Evangelistria is the first stop of our journey. In the newly renovated monastery you can see a functioning distillery that produces wine and “tsipouro” (in limited quantities) that are not available anywhere else in the world.Also, a museum with a number of historical items relevant to the island’s past and the Greek revolution.

After leaving the monastery our second stop will be at the Kastro(Castle) at the old city of Skiathos. There an amassing imaginary voyage in time awaits,a glance at the lives of the locals of the 13th and 14th century. Troubled times for the people who used to seek shelter and protection at the Kastro, when the town was attacked by pirates, that used to rule the Aegean Sea surrounding the Sporades islands. On our way to the top, we can see many old and very picturesque churches.

The beautiful scenery of the unspoiled nature continues, as we drive through the forest-like wilderness on our way to our next stop, Kechria beach. There you will havethe chance for a quick swim and enjoy the crystal waters on one of the most famous beaches of the island. Guests will also have time to have lunch in the beautiful beach taverna that is situated there (lunch is not included in the price).

On our way from the northern part of the island to the western part, we will pass the Monastery of Kounistra and go to the “postcard-picture” bay of Elias. On the way to the west peak of the Island, Koukounaries we will pass the beautiful Mandraki beach famous for its golden and glittering sand. With the final drive through the famous Mandraki forest you will begin your return and the trip will end at approximately 18:00.
