What to expect
Skiathos is bursting with rugged Aegean charm, and there are few better ways to explore the island's secret spots than with this 60-kilometre, off-road 4x4 tour. You'll venture to Evangelistria Monastery and the former capital Kastro first. Then, take wow-factor photos over Elias Bay, swim at Kechira beach and drive through the famous Mandraki forest.Start the morning by hopping into your 4x4 and heading deep into Skiathos along paths and roads that only an all-terrain vehicle can pass through. First up is the beautiful Evangelistria Monastery, where you'll visit the museum. Next, is the former capital, Kastro. Abandoned two centuries ago, its eeriness is matched by the spectacular beauty of its location on a rocky headland.There's a quick photo stop at the church of Agios Alexandros – famed for some of the best views on the island – after some time at Kachira beach. Here, you'll have free time for lunch, a spot of sunbathing or a swim. Finally, you'll pass by the easy-on-the eye Elias Bay and the island's tallest peak, Koukounaries, before driving through Mandraki's pistachio-green pine tree forest back to resort.

Dimitra was the best driver ever, excellent knowledge and a lovely person for our guide.
Platonas taverna did amazing moussaka and had the best view of Skiathos town ever.
Happy to recommend the 4x4 tour to anyone interested in Kastro, Evangelistria monestry and learning about the local flora.

Nikolas the tour guide was fantastic! Very knowledgeable about history and the island of skiathos! He was enthusiastic and fun and told us a lot about the culture. We visited churches, a monastery, a beach, drove through the forest and had a lunch stop (not included in price). The view from lunch was amazing over the cliff. Fantastic day. Ran from 0930-1730pm. Fantastic! Well done Nikolas!

Lunch is as lovely in a taverna with outstanding views , trip finished with a lovely swim , a really good day!

Best day of our holiday by far. Nicholas and Dimithra (I hope I pronounced that right) were fantastic. Nicholas has huge knowledge of the islands plants and history and helped me get my orthodox cross blessed at the monastery (an emotional moment for me). The perfect mix of history, island knowledge, seeing sights and a final swim. If you only book one excursion on your holiday, make it this one. Thank you both!

We had an excellent day out, one of the best TUI day trips we have ever been on. The guides were so lovely and genuine and told us so many interesting things about Skiathos. I was a little apprehensive as my husband is not a good traveller if he's not driving, but our guide was such a skillful driver so he was absolutely fine!

Absolutely fantastic day! Comfortable car - glad not to be doing the driving myself. Our 2 guides were so interesting and really made the day. Full of information about history, plants, literature, wonderful ambassadors for the island. Stand-out day of our trip and would really recommend it.

We had this trip cancelled last year and as it was the end of our holiday we couldn’t rebook. It was cancelled twice again this year and then we weren’t on the list when the cars picked up from our apartments. However our driver Nickolas sorted it for us and we had a great day. He was a fantastic guide and driver., and both guides gave us a lovely mix of historic and biotanical information. This trip was much better than we thought it would be and we would recommend this great experience.

Booked via the app and price was considerably cheaper that if we'd booked with the rep...even without the additional 10% discount. Think perhaps the reps should be able to offer the same prices.

The whole day was a great success, from pick up to drop off. The 2 guides made you feel at ease and were very knowledgeable, we would never have visited those parts of skiathos island. The lunch stop was perfect as was the visit to the monastery and beaches, all in all a great fun packed day.

Guides were very good and informative. We didn’t particularly like the beach at the final stop. Toilet facilities a hole in the ground. Not a good experience!

The most remarkable and unforgettable days out. One of the very best guided excursions we have every been on. Nikolas was nothing less than outstanding. A wonderful host, driver, storyteller, botanist, with a wealth of knowledge on the island, flora, fauna, history and myths and legends. We visited places we'd never have seen unless with a study 4x4 and the bravery to take the mountain paths we did! Highly recommended.

Nicholas was an excellent, knowledgeable guide. He drove the safari at our pace. We never felt pressured to keep up. There were plenty of stops and Nicholas gave us time to shop and use the toilet facilities at the monastery, which I fully recommend as the facilities at the beach where you can swim are primitive to say the least. Frills and spills isn’t how I would advertise it, educational, definitely with Nicholas.

What can we say that hasn't been said before? Nikolas is the best of company and a very skilled guide: during the trip, his knowledge of history and botany shine through as well as his humour! We can hand on heart say that you will enjoy a fabulous day that you will remember for years to come.

Nico was an excellent guide and driver. The only draw back was we had a full vehicle with 6 adults five of which were taller than average so it was a bit of a squeeze in the vehicle.

Nikolas the guide was fantastic! Very knowledgeable of the area, especially the plant life giving good information about all the edibles around which was an added bonus to the trip. He was also very friendly and made sure everyone in the car was well looked after. The only thing I would potentially change would be the beach at the end of the day. Not the best beach on the island but was still nice to sit and relax for a bit after the journey

This was a fantastic trip. We saw so much you wouldn’t have seen without a vehicle like this. The guides were so knowledgable and we learnt a lot. A shame that Kastro was closed but the trip was still filled to the brim with things to see and do.
