Some More Beaches...

Hi again!

I just wanted to share a couple of photos from the beaches I’ve been to recently. All of the beaches on the island are easily accessible by bus, car, motorbike or boat. Some you have to walk a little bit further from the bus stop, but it's never longer than a 10 minute walk.  If you take the bus, depending on where you are going, it could cost up to 3 euros for one way. There are 24 stops along the way and from the first stop to the last stop it’s about 20 to 25 minutes. Not too bad! Once getting to the beach of your choice, you have a selection of using one of the umbrellas with two lounge chairs that’s already there, which is usually 8 euros for the day or you can find a place in the sand and bring your own umbrella and chairs.

Abelakia beach.
Abelakia beach.  Officially my new favorite beach!  It wasn't too crowded and looking out into the water you could see Koukounaries beach, Maratha beach, Troulos beach and a couple of others.  Talk about a view!
Me and my new friend Jenny at Abelakia beach!
Vromolimnos beach.  This beach had clear water as well as a guest appearance from a famous Greek singer, Sakis Rouvas!  The beach goers were going crazy for him!
The path to Elias beach.
Elias beach.  All I can say is WOW!  It took a while to get to this beach, but you definitely can't come to Skiathos and not visit this beach.  There were newly dug out dirt roads in the mountains to get to this beach, but the views of the water were amazing on the way.  
Agia Eleni beach.  This is a quieter beach that is a little ways from bus stop 24.  If driving by car or motorbike, you can go on a dirt road to get to the parking lot, otherwise there is a walking path that gets you to the beach just as easily.  It's 100% worth going to and it has a little taverna (very good!) that is right behind all of the umbrellas on the beach.
I hope one day you readers will be able to visit some of these beaches!
