Big Aselinos Beach
Μεγάλος Ασέληνος
An open, long sandy beach on the north coast, surrounded by a valley and pine forest. It is windy and waves are larger, and it is far from the crowds.
Big Aselinos is one of the few large sandy beaches on the north coast of Skiathos that can be reached by car. It lies at the mouth of a wide valley, with farmland and pine forest behind it, and the environment feels natural. The beach is open, with fine sand mixed with small pebbles. On windy days from the north, the waves are large, and you will often see surfers and kiteboarders. When it is calm, the water is extremely clear. There is a small taverna and simple sunbeds. The smaller Little Aselinos beach next to it is more secluded. From the south coast road, turn near Troulos onto a northbound mountain road. The drive takes about 15 minutes, so a car or motorbike is best. Be mindful of wave conditions when swimming.
