Enjoy some dreamy summer scenery on Skiathos island in this short clip from the Skiathos Life channel on YouTube

Sunny distraction: If you’re feeling down from winter cold and snow, or news of startling Omicron statistics, this short promotional video for Skiathos island should give your mind and mood a welcome break.

Published to the Skiathos Life channel on YouTube in mid-December 2021, the film is only 1 minute and 15 seconds long, but shows plenty of enticing island images that will briefly distract you from present-day doom and gloom, and instantly put you in a summer-on-Skiathos state of mind.

You’ll see uplifting scenes of sailing, swimming and other water sports fun at beautiful beach spots like Koukounaries and Lalaria; mountain biking along trails that wind through lush pine forests; hiking to vantage points overlooking dramatic coastal landscapes; romantic dining at a seaside taverna; and exploring the nightlife and cultural entertainment in Skiathos Town. 

If the video inspires you to plan a trip to Skiathos this summer, consider beginning your research with a look through Skiathos — The Aegean Paradise, the official website for the Municipality of Skiathos. The site contains a wealth of general travel information about the island, ranging from things to do, places to visit, how to get there and get around the island, types of accommodations available, photo galleries, and much more.
