The most common advice you’ll hear from virtually everyone who has visited the island is to hire a jeep or a 4x4. It’s not that the roads are bad; it’s that there are so few of them, which means that you may face some quite rough terrain on your way to many of the island’s tourist attractions. The Kastro castle is a good example. To reach this historic point on the island you’ll need to make your way up a rough dirt road to the top of the promontory, park and walk the rest of the way up. Make this your choice of car hire in Skiathos, as it will give you complete freedom to fully appreciate everything the island has to offer.
The speed limit in the built-up areas of Skiathos is 50km/h (approx. 31mph), although in central areas watch for signs indicating a change to 30km/h (about 19mph). You can theoretically drive up to 90km/h (around 56mph) elsewhere. However you won’t find yourself driving that fast much, unless you’re on the single main road. The moment you get off it on your way to one of the island’s tourist spots your speed will be determined by the terrain and the size of the road. As a result expect to travel at between 40mph and 50mph in general.
Parking in Skiathos is very seasonal. The parking lots can get very busy during August. Otherwise good parking spots pretty easy to find, but it can be a bit costly at around €80 (£70) for a day ticket. The best option is to park at what locals call the Acropolis and take a short walk into town. Free parking is available at Parkplatz.

Pros:
The car itselfCons:
Had to return car early due to family emergency while in Greece. I was told that my daily rate doubled. Tried to resolve through Avis customer service while in Greece and after retiring to US, but was brushed off by multiple reps.2 locations in Skiathos
