By renting one of our mountain bikes at Villa Karina, you can experience these routes firsthand and discover the island’s hidden gems at your own pace.
Recommended Routes to the Best Beaches
Our central location, just 150 meters from the beautiful sandy beaches of Agia Paraskevi and Kolios, offers the perfect starting point for your bike tours. Here are some of our favorite routes:
- Route to Koukounaries Beach: Start from Villa Karina and follow the coastal road west. After about 7 kilometers, you'll reach the famous Koukounaries Beach, known for its golden sand and clear waters. Along the way, pass through dense pine forests and enjoy stunning views of the sea.
- Tour to Mandraki Beach: For the more adventurous, we recommend a ride to the secluded Mandraki Beach. This route takes you through untouched nature, giving you the chance to discover the island’s flora and fauna.
Tips for Your Bike Tour
- Start Early: Especially in the summer months, we recommend starting your ride early to enjoy cooler temperatures.
- Equipment: Our mountain bikes are well-maintained and suitable for the island’s various terrains. We also provide helmets and, if needed, additional accessories.
- Take Breaks: Use the numerous viewpoints along the routes for short breaks and photo opportunities to fully soak in the natural beauty of Skiathos.
After the Tour
After an exciting day of cycling, relax at our café with a cup of the island’s best coffee and reflect on your experiences.
We are looking forward to providing you with unforgettable nature experiences on Skiathos with our new mountain bike rental. For more information or to book your bike, feel free to contact us at any time.
