Pick up souvenirs in Platanias
In Platanias, a 5-minute walk from Aghia Paraskevi, you’ll find a handful of shops and minimarkets selling souvenirs with an authentic slant, from glass eye beads to leather bracelets. If you’re really looking to splurge, a 10-minute taxi ride gets you to Skiathos Town. In the side streets between Papadiamanti Street and the old port you’ve got gift shops, where you’ll find cabinets heaving with jewellery, and model boats made from driftwood.
