A pretty beach but still needs some tidying up. Flotsam and branches from trees still on beach. Toilets still not open except by cafe by bus stop 26 . Cafe prices on high side but very good capucinno Visited on grey day so not seen at its best. Look forward to returning by bus when sun shining- but popular stop (end of line) so be prepared to wait!

Lovely crystal water, very calm, sandy beach and just absolutley beautiful. But...the sand is covered in what looks lime bean bag balls, bits of plastic (be careful as a bit stuck in my foot) everywhere and needs a good clean up. There are only a few sunbeds and charge €35 and the beach bar charged us €11.50 for w tiny, almost cold coffees. There were 2 other beach bars up along but they were closed. It also got very crowded and we left after a couple of hours. Shame as it has to be one of the best beaches, it needs cleaning up, affordable sumbeds and not a rip off beach bar.

This is a lovely beach ( provided by nature ) but it appears tourism and lack of care has spoilt it. There was only a handful of sunbeds which out stripped demand by 10 fold .....the taverner was open and nice but only offered drinks and very light snacks. It also seemed that the local authority wasn't keeping it tidy and clean....litter around. It's a shame as I think this "was" a popular beach but others in Skiathos outstrip it by far. We gave up and went to big banana beach , a 15 walk from koukanaries , up a hill , it was more expensive but very much worth it , money well spent. My next trip to Skiathos won't include this over rated beach.

We came back a week ago and there are no sunbeds on Koukounaries beach except at the far end which are priced at 34 euros for the front row and 30 euros for the others . As well the bar adjacent to them plays loud music all day.Maybe ok if you are young with a enough cash to pay for a sunbed but not for me. A definite No No for the older tourist.Think the Greek Government have shot themselves in the foot on this one.

Amazing location. Long, spacious, sandy beach with crystal, clear blue water. If you love sand, this is idyllic, but if you want a sunbed, you may not be so lucky. Plenty of places along the beach to eat and drink and run for everyone. Definitely one of the top beaches I’ve visited across the world. One slight downside, apart from lack of sunbeds is the music in the bars is far too loud hand, everybody has different music. We just love to hear nature and the sound of the sea.

Lovely long sparkling stretch of sand. Water crystal clear. Of course it's busy with people, but plenty of sea activities, etc. Beach bars and places with music or without. Shame the toilets aren't nice to use, and infact are grim even for Greece. Cigarette butt's everywhere, why people can't put them in the bin rather than the sand. Bins overflowing by midday, no plastic recycling... just needs someone to care for it a little, sweeping up and whot not, keep it looking nice for years to come.

Kukinaris beach is amazing, with fine golden sand and crystal clear sea with a sloping entrance, it is very suitable for children. There are extensive free areas, as well as paid areas with umbrellas and sunbeds. The price is not cheap, 30 euros for a set and you pay separately for consumption at the beach bar, as the prices there are also quite high. There are a variety of water sports, restaurants and a wonderful pine forest, which some people use as a natural shade. It was not by chance that it was Lady Diana's favorite beach! If you are on the island of Skiathos, you must visit it, it is accessible by the convenient city bus every 15 minutes.

Very nice. A lot of shade under the trees, but also a lot of tourists. Long beach with a lot of bars and restaurants. In some places there is loud music but if that bothers you there are also much more quiet parts of the beach

This is the beach we have been to twice. First we went to the eastern part of it, where we could park our car in a really good parking spot. The view is very beautiful, however the water is a bit dirty because of the many people there. There are also some little ships porting there.

Nice beach, clear water. It was crowded when we went. Sunbeds were 40 euros for 3 beds, outrageous.Food and drink waiter service, quite expensive too. Water was crystal clear to swim and snorkel in. Loved seeing the swans go by.
