Skiathos Harbor provides excellent shelter. There are several anchoring possibilities. Anchor in the old harbor, which is the most sheltered. This is frequently impossible because of the large number of day-trip boats. Dock stern-to the concrete quay of the new harbor (N of the old harbor). The bottom is sand with good holding.

The newer pontoon or floating dock has essentially been taken over by charter companies. It is unlikely you will find a berth here during weekends (Thursday through Saturday nights) but there is a better chance on other nights.

There is a small area off the eastern end of the pontoon where a few boats can anchor without encroaching on the permanent moorings (to the north), the airport flight path (to the east) or the ferries` maneuvering space in the new harbor (to the south). Anchor off on the eastern side of the bay. Good holding.
