The city of Skiathos is the only built-up area of the
island. It is built on the southeastern tip of the island
in a windless bay which separates the island of
Bourtzi in two.
It is a relatively new settlement, built in 1829 -
1830 on the site of the ancient city, on two hills
situated at the edge of the sea. The ancient
settlement was built in 800 BC.
The large natural port of the modern city is ideal
in shape and in location. This has been a basic element
in regulating the life on the island both in the
old and in the modern times.

In the modern city of Skiathos, the houses are small
and simple, with two floors in their majority and
built amphitheatrically one next to the other. The
streets are narrow without any typical
planning apart from few parts in the city.
