Monastery of Panagia Kounistria in Skiathos
The Panaghia Kounistra is the patron of Skiathos
''One of the famous monasteries in Skiathos is the Monastery of Panagia Kounistria.
In 1655 there lived a hermit in his cell in these mountains of Skiathos. He was very devoted and prayed day and night. He saw a strange but striking light one night deep away in the woods. He became curious and anxious at the same time. To satisfy his curiosity he walked up into the woods following the bright light. While he was walking, the light abruptly disappeared. He felt somehow that it is a sign from God for his prayers.
The hermit finally came across a pine tree and was amazed to see an Icon of something that looked like Virgin Mary. He could not believe this but high up in the branches there it was. He stayed at that location for the entire night praying below the pine tree and when day broke he walked to the nearby castle and shared this experience with other people here. These people formed a group and immediately went up to the same spot where the hermit had seen the icon.
Since that moment the Virgin Mary also known as Iconistria, meaning an Icon which shines like a star, has been considered as a protective deity the island. Locals here will tell you about several ways in which they have been healed and how different kinds of miracles have happened since then. After some years a monastery was constructed near the same place where the icon was seen and the icon found by the hermit was kept in the monastery.''
To reach the monastery, turn right off the road that runs from Troulos to Asselinos (3.8 km from Troulos bus stop 19).

Mikros Aselinos Beach Skiathos
The Small Aselinos Beach is located in the northern part of Skiathos after Megali Aselinos and on the route to beaches and Kechria Ligaries.
It is approximately 16 km from Skiathos Town, located in the path after the Monastery of Panagia Eikonistrias to Kechria.
Through a splendid route, with unchanging landscape of the island will really relax. A really beautiful beach accessible by path. When north winds blow and this beach like all the northern beaches can have large waves. You can drive (part of the route passable dirt road) to a point and then just follow the path

Skiathos road to Kastro Castle dash camera
Road from Skiathos town to Kastro Castle. Be aware of a chunk dirt road.
Under the old medieval town of Skiathos, at the northernmost point of the island, lies a beautiful beach called Kastro (Castle).
The castle was a refuge for the islanders over five centuries. The continuing and devastating raids of pirates and plunder was the main reason that forced the islanders to leave their ancient city near modern port and migrate to this natural fortress.
The combination of a swim in the crystal clear waters and a visit to the ruins of the castle, it is definitely one of the tours you should not miss during your stay in Skiathos.
In the castle you can get very easily on one of the boats running daily from the port of Skiathos or covering a chunk of dirt road and some distance away.
