We went there for my aunties wedding and it was gorgeous!! Quite a touristy place with many back streets and lots of things to do like eating, island hopping, snorkelling etc. I felt very safe walking around at night although there was one incident were some guy touched one of my friends a bit inappropriately. Apart from that it was a lovely experience! It is quite touristy and there is a limited night scene with some clubs. Overall I do recommend it.

I had a great time! Touristy but not overwhelming. More expensive than the other Sporades islands but with loads to see. I recommend a tour with a boat to the outside of the island, a visit to the Monastery and you can definitely get cheaper food if you look. Always more expensive options but everywhere I ate it was great. Good public transport if you don't want to rent something. Very clean waters and lovely people!!

My first solo trip was to Skiathos in Greece, I can't recommend it enough. It's a beautiful island and I felt really safe there as a solo female traveler. Besides, it's not too expensive there.

I have been to many Greek islands and my absolute favorite is Skiathos. It's a beautiful place, people are extremely nice, and moreover, the island was not crowded. The local nightlife is also at a very good level. I definitely recommend it 100%.
