Eleni Beach

Eleni Beach is a sandy stretch roughly 300 meters long on the western coast of Skiathos with fine golden sand and clear waters. Pine trees border the beach and provide natural shelter and shade for visitors throughout the day.

The beach takes its name from a Byzantine chapel dedicated to Saint Helena that was built on an adjacent hilltop overlooking the waters. This religious heritage has shaped local identity for centuries.

The beach serves as a gathering point for both locals and visitors who appreciate this quieter side of Skiathos. Simple seaside tavernas along the shore reflect the local way of enjoying meals with fresh seafood under the shade of pine trees.

The beach is accessible by public bus from Skiathos Town, with a short walk through the pine forest to reach the shore. The waters slope gradually, making it a safe entry point for swimmers of all abilities.

The beach develops regular waves during summer months that attract beginner windsurfers to the area. From June through September, these conditions create favorable learning opportunities for those trying the sport.
