Achladia Resort

Achladia is a nice popular recreational resort located only about 5 kilometres from the island capital. It lies on the east coast surrounded by green groves and offers udisturbed peace and relaxation, sought after mainly by families with children and couples of all age groups. In Achladia, there is a wide choice of catering facilities including tavernas, restaurants, bars and cafés. Given the character of the island and its location near the sea, on the menu you will obviously find fish. Another thing you should try is the local wine.

Achladia beach

The beach in Achladia boasts fine sand resembling a flood of gold under the reflection of the sun´s rays. The sea water glitters under the sun, calming down with its beautifully blue colour. Of course, it is clean and crystal clear, which will be appreciated especially by the parents who can let their offspring play on the shore with no worries. Also less experienced swimmers will be delighted by the possibility of swimming in the places where they can touch the ground with their feet comfortably. For those who like sports, there is a variety of water sports to choose from, too.

What to do in Achladia?

The resort itself does have some nightlife, yet given the proximity of the island capital, it is better to enjoy your stay on the beach during the day or go on trips and explore the island nature, and then set off for adventure to the bustling streets of the Skiathos metropolis. This is also why young people who are staying in Achladia won´t get bored, while those who are not really fans of this kind of holiday, can relax with all the comfort in the peaceful resort, go for a walk on the beach in the starlight, listen to live music or chat in a stylish taverna.

Shopping in the resort is limited to small shops and markets. You can find there souvenirs, basic foodstuffs and some other goods. If this doesn´t satisfy you, visit the island capital.
