Skiathos Old Port (Bourtzi / Belvedere quay)

39° 9.7′ N · 23° 29.4′ E

The old fishing harbour west of the Bourtzi peninsula, lined with cafés and tavernas under the town — mainly tripper boats and gulets, but with occasional room for a visiting yacht.

Practical

No official visitor berths; in season the town quay is reserved for tripper boats and commercial craft, but there is room off-season (Sailing Issues). Harbour contact VHF 12, phone +30 694 5966755 (Sailing Issues); water, electricity and berths affordable — verify locally. Very safe in southerlies; ferry swell gets in, so keep the stern well off the quay. One MarinaTips contributor reports being refused a berth even when the quay was empty — call ahead and have an anchorage (Megali Ammos/Siferi) as a fallback.

Best for

Stern-to in the heart of town, mainly in shoulder season

Season

Best Apr–May and Oct; tripper boats fill it in summer
