Trip around Skiathos: Lalaria beach

Lalaria beach Skiathos Greece

Next stop in our trip by boat was famous Lalaria beach, which is perhaps the main reason I agreed to this trip!:D It can be reached only by boat, as the high and steep cliffs block the beach and thus prevent the access by land. Strange experience these rocks offered me- as I was lying on the beach and watched the sky it seemed to me that the whole beach along with the cliffs was moving and not the clouds... I started to get dizzy at one point...
Lalaria is a beach known for its white and smooth pebbles (which locals call "lalaria" so the place is named after that), the enchanting light turquoise water, choppy waves caused by the winds from the north. The winds which are sometimes so strong that you can only dream of access to the beach. And one big rock with a natural passage (or we can simply say: the "hole") for which is believed that you will become younger if you swim twice through the passage. I did not swim that day so I skipped the opportunity to become "younger and sweeter", but the images of nature that takes your breath away- will forever remain in my memory...

Sledeca stanica tokom naseg putovanja brodicem je cuvena Lalaria plaza, koja je mozda i glavni razlog sto sam pristala na ovaj izlet!:D Do nje se moze doci samo brodom, jer visoke i strme litice zaklanjaju plazu i samim time onemogucavaju pristup sa kopna. Cudno iskustvo mi dadose ove stene- dok sam lezala na plazi i posmatrala nebo ucinilo mi se da se citava plaza sa sve liticama pomera a ne oblaci... zavrte mi se u glavi u jednom trenutku...
Lalaria je plaza poznata po svojim belim i glatkim kamenim oblucima (koje lokalci zovu "lalaria", te je po tome i dobila ime), ocaravajuce svetlo tirkiznoj vodi, nemirnim talasima koji nastaju usled vetrova sa severa. Vetrovi koji su ponekad toliko jaki da mozete samo sanjati o prilazu plazi. I jedna velika stena sa prirodnim prolazom (ili prostije receno "rupom") za koju se veruje da cete postati mladji ako dva puta preplivate kroz prolaz. Nisam plivala tog dana te preskocih priliku da postanem "mladja i sladja", ali slika prirode od koje zastaje dah ce mi zauvek ostati u secanju...

Trip around Skiathos: Dark cave

Trip around Skiathos: Dark cave

And here begins our little adventure by boat. On the way to Lalaria beach is one of most photographed attractions called "Dark Cave", or in Greek "Skotini Spilia". Beautiful sea cave with a low and narrow passage where only small boats can pass, is about 20m deep and as its name implies very dark. We did not have enough time to enter the cave, but we approached close enough to indulge in this natural beauty...

I ovde pocinje nasa mala avantura brodicem. Na putu ka plazi Lalarija nalazi se jedna od najfotografisanijih atrakcija pod nazivom "Dark cave" (u prevodu "Mracna pecina") ili na grckom jeziku "Skotini spilia". Prelepa morska pecina sa niskim i uzanim prolazom gde jedino manji brodici mogu proci, je oko 20m duboka i kao sto i samo ime kaze veoma mracna. Nismo imali vremena za ulazak u pecinu, ali smo dovoljno blizu prisli kako bismo uzivali u ovoj prirodnoj lepoti...

Kassandra Bay Resort Hotel | Skiathos island

Kassandra Bay Resort Hotel

After several years of staying in the modern boutique and resort hotels in destinations such as Santorini and Mykonos, it seems to me that I have set up certain preferences regarding the selection of hotels where I stay. Now I can easily recognize which hotel would fit my personality or be able to meet some of my specific needs and desires with its aesthetic appearance and content. One of them is definitely "Kassandra Bay Resort" in Skiathos...
"Kassandra Bay Resort" is a luxurious 5-star hotel located on the shore of Vasilias beach, some 5km from the capital of Skiathos. It has 120 rooms and 7 suites, its own beach, two outdoor saltwater pools and one pool for children. More information you can find on their website!

Nakon nekoliko godina letovanja u modernim boutique i resort hotelima na destinacijama kao sto su Santorini i Mikonos, cini mi se da sam formirala odredjene preferencije sto se tice izbora hotela u kojima odsedam. Sada vrlo lako mogu da prepoznam koji bi recimo hotel prijao mom karakteru ili bio u mogucnosti da svojim estetskim izgledom i sadrzajem zadovolji neke moje specificne zelje i potrebe. Jedan od takvih je definitivno "Kassandra Bay Resort" na Skijatosu...
"Kassandra Bay Resort" je luksuzan hotel sa 5 zvezdica koji se nalazi na obali Vasilias plaze, nekih 5km udaljen od glavnog grada Skijatosa. Ima 120 soba i 7 apartmana, sopstvenu plazu, dva otvorena bazena sa slanom vodom i jedan bazencic za decu. Vise informacija mozete pronaci na njihovom sajtu!

Vasilias beach | Skiathos island

Vasilias plaza Skijatos ostrvo

Vasilias beach is one small and pleasant summer location, that offers intimate atmosphere. Its biggest part belongs to "Kassandra Bay" hotel, so it's mainly intended for the guests of this resort hotel. To its left is the beach called Mikros Vasilias (meaning "little Vasilias") which is again mostly used by the guests of another resort hotel "Golden King".
Vasilias beach is nicely organized, very clean and awarded with a blue flag. It is located exactly after Megali Ammos beach and some 5km from the town of Skiathos, so it's very easy to come here walking...

Vasilias plaza je jedna omanj i prijatna letnja lokacija, intimnijeg karaktera. Veci deo pripada "Kassandra Bay" hotelu te je uglavnom namenjena gostima upravo ovog resort hotela. U nastavku tj. s njene leve strane nalazi se plaza Mikros Vasilias (u prevodu "mali Vasilias") koju opet najvise koriste gosti jos jednog luksuznog resort hotela "Golden King".
Vasilias plaza je fino organizovana, izuzetno cista i nagradjena plavom zastavicom. Nalazi se odmah nakon Megali Ammos plaze i nekih 5km od grada Skijatosa, te se do nje moze doci i peske...

Megali Ammos beach | Skiathos island

Megali Ammos beach Skiathos

Translated from the Greek language, Megali Ammos means "big sand" which is quite a suitable name for this long sandy beach that is only 2-3km far from the capital of Skiathos. Therefore we can say it's the most popular among the locals...
Well organized and packed with sun beds (and tourists) in the initial part, where is also a school for the water sports. The second part is quite isolated with the smaller number of sun beds, but equally beautiful- in this part you can definitely find your peace! Extremely soft sand and crystal clear water are the reasons why people return again and again to this beach!
Coastal part provides an exceptional offer of the hotel and apartment accommodation. There are also several taverns and restaurants, plus a couple of supermarkets nearby. In my opinion Megali Ammos region is the best location for staying in Skiathos: it has its own beach, the city is only 10 minutes walk away, and all the other beaches are available whether you use the bus or your own transportation (taxi, rent-a-car, motorbikes, etc.)!

U prevodu sa grckog jezika, Megali Ammos znaci "veliki pesak" sto je sasvim pogodno ime za ovu dugu pescanu plazu koja je udaljena svega 2-3km od glavnog grada Skijatosa. Samim tim je i mozemo reci najpopularnija medju lokalnim stanovnistvom...
Odlicno organizovana i krcata lezaljkama (i turistima) u pocetnom delu, gde se nalazi i skola za sportove na vodi. U drugom delu je poprilicno izolovana sa manjim brojem lezaljki, ali podjednako lepa- u ovom delu definitivno mozete pronaci svoj mir! Izuzetno mek pesak i kristalno cista voda su razlog zasto se ljudi iznova vracaju na ovu plazu!
Obalski deo pruza izuzetnu ponudu hotelskog i apartmanskog smestaja. Tu se nalazi i nekoliko taverni i restorana, plus dva-tri super marketa u blizini. Po mom misljenju Megali Ammos regija je najbolja lokacija za smestaj na Skijatosu: ima svoju plazu, grad je udaljen svega 10min hoda, a sve ostale plaze su dostupne bilo da koristite autobuski ili sopstveni prevoz (taxi, rent-a-car, motori i sl.)!

W7 Honolulu bronzing powder :: my most used bronzer!

W7 Honolulu bronzing powder

We could freely say this is a bronzer that I used the most over the past year! Unlike everything else in my make-up collection, which contains (more or less) some shimmering/reflective particles, W7 "Honolulu" bronzing powder is completely matte and super convenient for both the day and the night! I apply it below the cheek bones, and for the purposes of contouring and shading on the other parts of the face: forehead, nose, neck... The bronzer's shade is a bit darker so I recommend it for the ladies with medium and dark complexion!

Bice da je ovo bronzer koji sam najvise koristila u poslednjih godinu dana! Za razliku od svih ostalih u mojoj make-up kolekciji koji imaju manje-vise svetlucave/reflektujuce cestice, W7 "Honolulu" bronzer je potpuno mat te super pogodan kako za dan tako i za vece! Ja ga nanosim ispod jagodicne kosti, a za potrebe konturiranja i sencenja i na druge delove lica: celo, nos, vrat... Nijansa ovog bronzera je tamnija, te ga preporucujem damama sa srednje tamnim i tamnim tenom!

Kanapitsa beach + Nostos beach | Skiathos

Kanapitsa beach Skiathos island

In Kanapitsa bay there are three beaches. The first and the closest one is Nostos beach, where is also located one of the two biggest diving schools called "Dolphin Diving Center". Nicely organized beach with sunbeds, on which tourists and locals often come to enjoy the specialties of the nearby tavern.
Tucked away and surrounded by greenery, Kanapitsa beach lies on the other side of the cape. Reaching it requires a little more than a 10 min walk (uphill) from the bus station, or even easier if you rent a taxi. Hidden among the trees from the curious eyes of tourists, in this area you can find a couple of hotels and villas, and another well-known tavern. The beach is somewhat narrower and finely organized, the water is crystal clear, the sand has golden color...

U Kanapitsa zalivu postoje tri plaze. Prva i najbliza je Nostos plaza, gde se nalazi jedna od dve najvece skole za ronjenje pod nazivom "Dolphin diving center". Uredjena plaza sa lezaljkama, na koju turisti i lokalci cesto svracaju i da bi uzivali u specijalitetima obliznje taverne.
Ususkana i okruzena zelenilom, Kanapitsa plaza lezi sa druge strane rta. Da bi se doslo do nje potrebno je malo vise od 10min hoda (uzbrdo) od autobuske stanice, ili jos lakse ako iznajmite taxi. Skriveni medju drvecem od radoznalih pogleda turista, u ovom podrucju se nalazi par hotela i vila, i jos jedna dobro poznata taverna na samoj obali. Plaza je nesto uza i lepo uredjena, voda kristalno cista, pesak zlatne boje...

Troulos beach | Skiathos island

best Skiathos beaches travel guide and tips

Troulos beach is, for me, one of the most pleasant beaches of Skiathos. The soft, golden colored sand into which you simply immerse as you walk along the coast. During that walk it often happens that some friendly seagull joins you. There are enough sunbeds, and if you want the peace then- book in your hands and find the escape in the rich shadow of the nearby trees.
Although we came there by the boat, Troulos beach is certainly reachable by the local bus or car. Not very far there are hotel, tavern, restaurant and several bars... Yet for complete enjoyment it needs more than an hour and a half which is the exact amount of time we had that day...

Troulos plaza je, za mene, jedna od najprijatnijih plaza Skijatosa. Mekani, zlatno obojeni pesak u koji prosto uranjate dok setate obalom. Cesto se desava da vam se u setnji pridruzi i poneki druzeljubivi galeb. Lezaljki za najam sasvim dovoljno, a ako zelite mir- onda knjigu u ruke pa beg pronadjite u senci obliznjeg drveca.
Iako smo mi do Troulos plaze stigli brodicem, do nje se svakako moze doci i lokalnim autobusom ili kolima. U blizini se nalaze hotel, taverna, restoran i nekoliko kafica... Ali za potpuno uzivanje je potrebno vise od sat i po vremena koliko smo mi tog dana imali na raspolaganju...

Skiathos Town: The Port

Skiathos Town the port

Every day in the main port of Skiathos town you can see the different ferries that connect the island with Volos, Skopelos, Alonissos and other places in Greece. But the real beauty of the harbor is actually shown through the numerous ships and yachts (small and big ones) which arrive daily, as well as a number of boats that are used for day trips and other organized tours...

Svakog dana u glavnoj luci grada Skijatosa mogu se videti razliciti trajekti koji povezuju ostrvo sa Volosom, Skopelosom, Alonisosom i drugim mestima u Grckoj. Ali lepotu luci zapravo daju brodovi i jahte (male i velike) koje svakodnevno pristizu, kao i brojni brodici koji se koriste tokom dnevnih izleta i drugih organizovanih tura...

Vromolimnos beach | Skiathos island

Vromolimnos beach Skiathos

Vromolimnos beach is the second one (after Koukounaries beach) when it comes to the popularity, especially among the younger population. I overheard that there is a louder music during the day and that it's very lively, but around 20th of June, the situation was anything but a "lively"... Who knows, maybe the season here starts a bit later, as in the whole of Greece this year...
All in all a very beautiful and long beach with fine golden sand and extremely clean water. Water sports are very popular here 'cause the conditions for skiing are more than good...

Vromolimnos plaza je druga po redu (nakon Koukounaries plaze) kada se radi o popularnosti i posecenosti, narocito medju mladjom populacijom. Nacula sam da se tu pusta glasnija muzika tokom dana i da je vrlo zivo, ali oko 20og juna situacija je bila sve samo ne "ziva"... Ko zna mozda sezona tu pocinje malo kasnije, kao i u citavoj Grckoj ove godine...
Sve u svemu vrlo lepa i duga plazica, sa finim peskom zlatne boje i izuzetno cistom vodom. Sportovi na vodi su vrlo popularni ovde jer su uslovi za skijanje na vodi i vise nego dobri...

Koukounaries beach | Skiathos island

Koukounaries beach Skiathos

Koukounaries beach is one of the largest, and therefore one of the most visited beaches of Skiathos. It is located some 15km from the town of Skiathos, and it's very easy to get there 'cause the local buses run every 30 minutes. It's known for its soft white sand, crystal clear water and fragrant pine forest that surrounds the beach, and which the whole region is named after. The beach is well equipped, there are many bars that have their own sunbeds and umbrellas, while the "gourmet break" you can find in the nearby restaurants and taverns...

Koukounaries plaza je jedna od najvecih, a samim tim i jedna od najposecenijih plaza Skijatosa. Udaljena je nekih 15km od grada Skijatosa, a doci do nje je izuzetno lako jer lokalni autobusi saobracaju na svakih 30 minuta. Poznata je po svom mekom belom pesku, kristalno cistoj vodi i mirisnoj borovoj sumi koja okruzuje plazu, i po kojoj je citav region dobio ime. Plaza je dobro opremljena, postoje brojni barovi i kafici koji u svom sastavu imaju lezaljke i suncobrane, a "gurmanski predah" mozete pronaci i u obliznjim restoranima i tavernama...

OOTD: Tropical Bouquet

floral tropical print maxi dress

What's the summer period in the fashion sense without tropical prints? Void, right? Not to "spice up a bit" at least one of your summer outfits with an exotic pattern is like not wearing a swimsuit while being on the beach! Very simple logic... Luckily I can not live without summer, nor without tropical prints, and even without a bikini... Happy beginning of the summer!!

Sta je letnji period u modnom smislu bez tropskih printova? Praznina, zar ne? Ne zaciniti barem jedan svoj letnji outfit nekom egzoticnom sarom je isto kao i ne nositi kupaci kostim a biti na moru! Vrlo jednostavna logika... Srecom ja ne mogu ni bez leta, ni bez tropskih printova, a ni bez bikinija... Ziveo pocetak leta!!!!!
