The climate of Skiathos (Greece)
Skiathos is a Greek island which is part of the Northern Sporades
archipelago. Skiathos is situated in the northern part of the Aegean
Sea. The capital of this island is Skiathos-City also known as Chora.
A large part of the film Mamma Mia was filmed here. According to some
sources Koukounaries Beach is the most beautiful beach in Greece.
However, more beaches can claim this title. On the island several old
monasteries can be admired; among them are: Agios Charalambos and Moni
Evangelistria. Skiathos has a warm Mediterranean climate with warm and
dry summers and cold and wet winters. Because of its northerly
location it is slightly colder here than on the more southerly located
island. The higher parts of Skiathos are a little colder than the
lower parts. An ever blowing sea breeze makes the beaches pleasant to
stay on, even during the hottest part of the day.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
