Beach Skiathos - Xanemos Beach

Xanemos Beach is located at the far end of the Skiathos Airport. You need to take a few back roads past old boats, a boat yard or two, some fields being used to store speed boats, the ubiquitous olive tree groves, and some pretty well looked after horses before you arrive at the sandy beach.

Frequented by locals and with a nice chilled vibe, this remains one of my favourite beaches.

 

Next to Xanemous beach is a little hill you can hike up which reveals panaramic views of the nearby islands as well as a birds eye view of the beach in question.

At the top of the hill we discovered that some of the ground had been demarcated and what appeared to be old ruins were being uncovered.

 

The beach its self was clean and pleasant to lie on. You have a choice to laze on sun beds for a few EUR or to bring your own umbrella and laze on the sand, as we did.
