Ride the island's pine-fringed southern coast in an open-top 4×4, threading between golden beaches, olive groves and lagoon viewpoints from Troulos to Koukounaries — rated among Greece's most beautiful strands — before a private beach lunch at Mandraki.
What to expect
The route winds through fragrant Aleppo pine forest to Koukounaries, where a crescent of honey-coloured sand meets water so clear you can count the pebbles at 3 metres depth. Your guide then navigates unpaved tracks to the secluded Mandraki lagoon — a brackish lake backed by the Aegean, beloved by flamingos in season. A private table at a cliffside taverna awaits, with grilled octopus, Greek salad and local Skiathos wine poured generously. The return sweeps past Troulos and Vromolimnos for a final swim.
Good to know
Half-day format (09:30–14:00) fits most itineraries; confirm all-aboard before booking afternoon variants. Dusty tracks mean light linen is smarter than white. Advance booking essential — private jeeps are limited on port days.
