Big Aselinos

Big Aselinos is a beach on the northern coast of Skiathos with soft sand and a sheltered bay surrounded by forested slopes. The water meets a mix of sand and small pebbles along the shore, creating a varied swimming experience.

The beach has served as a shelter for fishermen since ancient times, who used the natural harbor to escape strong winds. This role established it as a traditional stopping point for seafarers seeking refuge from storms.

The beach maintains Greek traditions through its family-operated taverna, serving regional dishes prepared with ingredients from neighboring mountain villages.

You can reach the beach by a paved road from Troulos or by boat services that run during summer months from Skiathos Town. Plan your timing based on the available transport options and water conditions.

The location creates natural wind conditions that generate larger waves, attracting swimmers who enjoy more dynamic water. This sets it apart from calmer beaches elsewhere on the island.
