It is an excellent sandy beach area with a beautiful sea and is not crowded. Avoid going when the wind is northerly. The guys on the right side, especially those renting umbrellas, are a prime example of Greek hospitality.

Dirt road to there, but worth it. Quiet sandy beach, could be windy at times. 2 sunbeds and umbrella cost 13 EUR. The restaurant is good although the menu is limited. Nice souvlaki.

Elia Beach in Mandraki on Skiathos is unique and renowned for its very wide shoreline. The beach features a shallow entry into the water that extends for a considerable distance. Additionally, the waves at Elia Beach tend to be larger compared to most other beaches on Skiathos, adding a final touch.

The beach is beautiful, quite big. There are 2 large areas with sunbeds, 13 euros/day. There is also a bar with a restaurant, but it only opens at 11:00. You park in the forest and you have a long walk to the beach. If you arrive in the morning, you will find plenty of free seats.
