Curious as to how Banana Beach got its name? Look no further, as soon as you lay eyes on the curved coastline and golden sandy shores, it becomes instantly obvious. The main Banana Beach is split into two crescents, and is located about 13.6 km from the city of Skiathos and just a short distance from Koukounaries. For the young and the young at heart, the hyped and energetic atmosphere makes Banana Beach the perfect place to cast aside your worries and lose yourself in the music. Just a couple of beach bars keep the entire beach alive with fun tunes blasting throughout the day and serving up refreshing drinks and snacks. Admire the idyllic views and soak up the sunshine on one of the numerous sunbeds that dot the beach before cooling down in the glittering, blue ocean known for its crystal clear waters.

There are activities for the whole family to enjoy, with watersports such as wakeboarding or water skiing available for those looking for adventure, and the generally calm waters being suitable for swimmers of all ages. Stick around for the chance to catch the beautiful sunset or to dance the night away at one of the lively evening parties hosted on the main beach. South of the main beach lies the well-hidden Little Banana Beach. Not one for the more conservative among us, this nudist beach gives you the freedom to truly let loose and embrace nature, becoming one with the sand and sea. Just don’t forget to load up on the sunscreen!
