The resorts are in such a convenient distance from Skiathos Town that you can go out at night and then go back to your room either by foot, bus or taxi without spending a lot of money. In the morning, you can either lie down on your sun lounger and perhaps have a rest after the hangover of the previous night or sign up for water sports at the water sports school which is said to be the most organised of the island. Bear in mind that Megali Ammos can get really busy and crowded especially in the high season, therefore if you prefer some privacy and tranquility, you might need to go to this beach another time.

Alternatively, you could hit two birds with one stone and try to go around the rocks towards the east side where there are no sun lounges and umbrellas and the beach is much quieter there.
