Skyros Sea Caves & Snorkel Boat Trips
38° 50.5′ N · 24° 32.2′ E · approximate
Local boat trips along the Skyros coast to sea caves and hidden beaches, with swim and snorkel stops, including Sarakino islet. They are a way to see the wild south coast without risking your own boat on it.
Practical
Travel in Skyros lists Skyros Sea Tours 'Hydrobates' (caves, snorkelling, Sarakino; book via its Facebook page or feelingreece.gr) and the Apollon II boat trips run by Captain Christos Psariotis. No departure point or phone is published, so the position is set at Linaria quay as a placeholder. If you sail the south coast yourself, Glyfada on Sarakino has good sand holding (see that entry). Grecosailor warns that the south coast is rugged and exposed, and to avoid anchoring on posidonia.
