What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Kechria Beach is widely praised as a beautiful and tranquil 'hidden gem' on Skiathos, offering stunning sunset views and a unique natural landscape. While the drive to access it is unpaved and can be tricky, most visitors find it well worth the effort for the peaceful atmosphere and the excellent on-site tavern. The limited availability of comfortable sunbeds is a common point of consideration.
"Very beautiful beach, quiet and not crowded at all; stunning sunset and nice tavern for lunch and dinner. Sunbeds were 20 Euro in June 2024 (2 sunbeds and 1 umbrella). To reach this beach you need to walk by car for 5 km on an unpaved road with some serpentines but is not that bad as other said in the reviews."

"Skiathos hidden gem! Every time I come to this beach I am in awe of how nice it is!
It is a bit of a trek and tricky drive to get there but it is definitely worth it!
The beach, with some grass on the side, the cute tavern, the rock with the Greek flag on it and the enchanted forest just behind it makes it the most unique place in skiathos in my opinion.
Also, because it’s on the North side of the island you are able to enjoy sunset views as well.
If you get to come here , I also recommend driving by to Kastro beach aswell. However this one is by far my favorite !"
