1.) Ramble around Kastro

Once here, make sure to stop off at the Castle ruins and see the Little Church in the Castle that’s so quaint. 

The whole area is filled with religious buildings and castle which dates all the way back to the 14th century. Climb to the top of a rocky hilltop, and look out to the sea.

Oh, and don’t forget to stop off at Kastro Beach which, although small, is well worth stopping off at as part of a wider boat tour around Skiathos.
