Koukounaries beach (Thessaly) is located outside the Koukounaries settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Skiathos island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Koukounaries beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone.

User reviews
"Skiathos boasts of a stunning beach that exudes natural beauty. It is well-maintained with ample sun beds that can be rented for a reasonable price of 10€, inclusive of an umbrella. The sand is fine and silky, and the waters are transparent and pristine, making it an ideal spot for swimming and other water activities."
Nikola Zupančič
"Truly, this beach is a marvel to behold. Despite the throngs of people and abundance of sun-beds, its natural splendor remains unspoiled, and the crystal-clear waters continue to glisten. A mere €10 will secure you a set of sun-beds, and even during the busiest times, you can still snag a spot if you arrive before noon."
