OVERVIEW
You’ll understand as soon as you step foot on Lalaria beach what makes it so special. Scrunching underfoot are little blue-white pebbles, silky smooth to the touch, and above you is a near vertical rockface, creating a long sea-locked bay with unbroken views of the blue-green Aegean Sea.
Accessible only by sea, Lalaria is like no other beach on Skiathos. The wild setting is completely different to the greenery and lower-lying hills found elsewhere on the island.
There’s a remoteness and tranquility here, made all the more special by the sense of anticipation that comes with sailing to the northeastern tip of Skiathos and dipping in and out of sea caves and other beaches on the way.
But Lalaria is undoubtedly the highlight. There’s a drama and mystery to the scene. At one end, the cliff extends into the sea, with a portal-like rock (Tripia Petra) through which you can swim or kayak into another world.
