A beach on an uninhabited islet (boat only)

A small beach of white sand and pebble with crystal-clear water, on the uninhabited islet of Sarakiniko off southern Skyros (not to be confused with Athens’ Glyfada).

No road — only by excursion caique (from Pefkos beach or Linaria port, often with the "Blue Cave"). Essentially wild.

About this beach

Glyfada usually stays sheltered when the meltemi blows. That comes from the measured shape of the coastline around it and our curated wind records — a seasonal picture, not a live forecast, so check live wind and waves before you go.

The shoreline at Glyfada faces south-west, so it usually has natural cover from northerly, north-easterly and north-westerly winds.

Glyfada has sand underfoot.
