Skiathos, Greece
Bourtzi Beach

An idiosyncratic little “beach” with scenic views and a diving board.

Located on the very tip of a peninsula near Skiathos Port, Bourtzi Beach is small rocky outcropping bisected by a set of stairs that lead straight into the sea. Unlike most other beaches, Bourtzi Beach consists of tiled ground with a smattering of rocks to perch on as you admire the stunning ocean view.


While Bourtzi Beach is a beach only in name, it is a great location to have a relaxing swim uninterrupted by others. A diving board affixed to a nearby rock presents a challenge for the daring and a scenic set for Instagrammers. Its seclusion and calming scenery induces an unbroken tranquillity that is reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the nearby port. From here, you can dine at the lovely café, wander through a music museum, or even visit the open theatre that hosts a variety of events and exhibitions throughout the year. Not a place to be missed, Bourtzi Beach is the perfect place to admire the sea view or take a dip in the waters without the icky feeling of wet sand.
