Maratha Beach

Maratha Beach, situated 11 kilometers from Skiathos Town in Greece, is a well-organized, small, and tranquil beach. Located just 500 meters before Koukounaries, one of the most well-known beaches on the island, it offers a peaceful alternative for visitors. The natural environment of Maratha Beach is characterized by its warm waters and a narrow strip of sandy shore. The landscape is further enhanced by tall, surrounding pine trees that provide shade and contribute to the serene atmosphere of the beach. Despite its small size, the beach is typically not crowded, partially due to the limited availability of sunbeds for rent. However, visitors have the freedom to bring and set up their own umbrellas and towels on the sand, ensuring ample space for everyone. Maratha Beach offers a variety of amenities for the convenience and comfort of its visitors. These include a beach bar, a shower, and a changing cabin. Additionally, the beach provides umbrellas and sundecks for rent. While visitors are discouraged from moving the rented deckchairs or setting up their own umbrellas next to the rented ones, they are not denied the right to set up their own umbrella given the public nature of Greek beaches. To reach Maratha Beach, visitors can take advantage of the public buses that run frequently from Skiathos Town to Koukounaries. Given the limited availability of sunbeds, it is recommended to arrive early or make a reservation, especially for those wishing to rent one. Despite its proximity to popular tourist spots, the area around Maratha Beach also offers various accommodations and entertainment centers, making it a convenient location for vacationers.
