Skiathos North Scooter Adventure Ride And Xanemos Airport Beach

The island of Skiathos is small and is just perfect to navigate around with a scooter (or a bike).

You get rewarded with views like this whilst you discover the island.

Because we both do not have a motor license, we had been most effective able to rent a scooter up to 50cc.

Skiathos, however, is a pretty hilly island so we had some issues scaling up the steep components. A 50cc scooter can't cope with a steep incline with a 2nd person at the lower back. Helaas, I had to get off and stroll for the few meters. We cannot allow the scooter choke to death. Even if I food plan, I will nevertheless need to get off, haha.

This become an afternoon when we explored the island with the condo scooter with out a agenda. We just went with the drift and the most effective manual we had were the street instructions and a small map on a traveller book we took from a eating place.

It is first-class to be spontaneous on holidays sometimes, you understand. We all want to interrupt the seaside and pool monotony and the rigidness of making plans (like I do maximum of the instances!).

Dutchman and I had been making plans to have dinner here at Platanos. The taverna guarantees a lovely panoramic view of the Old Town, the Aegean Sea and the nearby peninsula and islands. But after the scooter become coughing and bleeding with black smoke looking to get to the top, we determined now not to head the same route once more.

I controlled to persuade the Dutchman to visit any other restaurant, a better one in reality, also with a super view, so all is ideal.

The Skiathos Old Town.

We went to Kastro however didn't absolutely attain the destination due to the fact the gravel road become awful for the scooter. The beach is likewise down the bay and for a few motive that day we have been much less adventurous to scale the cliffs all the way down to the beach.

Sometimes you've got those days, and even extra frequent when you become old. Trust me, I have an intrepid soul and feature dared to do crazier stuff before, however these days I am afraid I am becoming a bit bit dull. This is what occurs while you are nearly 50 and have performed and seen lots within the international. At some point, your reviews can paintings in opposition to you.

So we persisted to drive around the northern and japanese part of the island and getting pleasantly faced with beautiful perspectives of the bright blue seas and skies towards the lavish inexperienced historical past. This is what we've come to know the Greek Islands; uncooked, traditional and now not (yet) bastardized by tourism.

We preserve coming returned, every year, to a exceptional island every time. But I am afraid we are able to be running out of islands soon so we are able to come lower back to a few.

Driving off the overwhelmed course on gravel roads.

Then we observed this seaside known as Xanemos that is positioned on a stunning and serene bay on the give up of Skiathos Airport's airstrip. The beach become stunning from our standpoint! We have observed "the" beach of the day! So off we went down for some needed relaxation on the seashore.

This is the landing strip of Skiathos Airport, simply behind Xanemos Beach.

There is a restaurant eating place that owns those beach pretty wicker parasols. Basically, you can hire them with 2 lounge chairs each. But because the taverna barely presented the front room chairs and there has been no music, we didn't cross beforehand with renting. We just camped at the seashore with our seaside towels and toes within the sand similar to what the others did.

This is quite a pretty seaside and very high potential specifically for the duration of high season, only if the proprietor of the cafe eating place and the parasols might do something with the location, i.E. Pimp up the taverna, add a few song, placed the front room chairs at the seashore, get some waiters serving, and so forth.

Just chilling at the seashore after the scooter trip.

Who else? None apart from moi.

We additionally checked the other seaside inside the north called Aselinos Beach.

We observed that the northern part of Skiathos has fewer tourism trends (fewer accommodations and restaurants, fewer roads and tourism infrastructure). We had been no longer that keen on Aselinos Beach so we did not in reality stay longer. We were given off the scooter, walked on the seaside a piece, sniffed round, and we left.

Not all locations have their charm. That's existence.
