Big Banana is Skiathos's energetic southwest beach, combining sand, organised service and water sports, with quieter Small Banana beyond the headland.
Our take
Pine-backed sand, water sports and a social summer scene
Big Banana, also known as Krassa Bay, faces west beneath pines and is built around music, loungers and water sports. The sunset keeps people late. Small Banana lies beyond the headland and has traditionally offered a quieter, clothing-optional alternative.
Recent resort development can alter paths and access arrangements, so confirm the current public route before going. Swim inside marked zones and ask about all seating terms. The final walk is uneven and hot despite tree cover.
