The beach has lovely sand, a beautiful view, and the road leading to it is also quite nice. However, it might be a bit challenging to get there by car after it has rained.

This beach is a hidden gem that can be reached by a peaceful stroll through the woods from the main road of Koukounaries. The restroom amenities are quite rudimentary, but the picturesque views make up for it. A small food and beverage shack is available, but be prepared to wait in a lengthy line. For a mere €8, you can rent a pair of comfortable loungers and soak up the sun. However, it is important to note that this beach tends to fill up quickly, becoming quite bustling by around 11am.

If you prefer a serene seaside spot with a picturesque vista, then this beach is the perfect destination for you. It's not overrun with crowds or youthful revelers, ensuring a peaceful atmosphere. However, reaching this hidden gem requires traversing an unpaved path that winds through a tranquil pine forest.

To access Krifi Ammos, Mandraki, and Agistros beach, take the unpaved road and turn left towards Mandraki, where you'll be greeted by a breathtaking pine forest. There's ample parking space for your vehicle. The beach boasts a warm ambiance with its yellow sands, but the water can be a bit murky at times due to the waves. However, you can always lounge on the sunbeds provided or visit the taverna for refreshments.

The beach is an exquisite haven of tranquility and splendor. There are no adrenaline-pumping activities like paragliding or water sports to distract from the natural allure of Skiathos. Instead, visitors can bask in the sun and relish the calming sound of the waves. The cost of an umbrella and two sunbeds are quite reasonable at only 8€ per day.
