Idyllic and isolated
You'd think a beach this incredible would be packed to the edges with visitors, but Lalaria Beach has a barrier to entry: The Aegean Sea. This striking spot's isolated setting means you need to rent or ride a boat to reach it, so compared to many of the 60-plus beaches here on Skiathos island, getting to Lalaria can be an ordeal. Even still, Lalaria's famous rock arch and calm, sapphire waters make it one of this Greek isle's must-see sites.
