Thessaly is a region of central Greece that stretches from the mainland out to the Aegean, taking in the green island of Skiathos with its famous beaches. It offers warm Greek summers, clear water and the laid-back island feel that draws British holidaymakers back year after year.

UK couples and families come here for sun, sandy beaches and the relaxed, friendly atmosphere that Greek holidays are known for.

Where to stay in Thessaly

The Magic Hotel is a hotel in Skiathos, near the Aegean coastline, making a comfortable base for exploring the island's beaches and enjoying easy access to the sea.

Getting there and when to go

Food and things to do

Greek cooking, fresh seafood and friendly tavernas are everywhere, with relaxed seafront dining a highlight. Beyond the beach there are boat trips, coastal walks and the chance to explore both the island and the mainland.
