About Stigero Beach
Stigero is a small, secluded cove on the east coast of Skiathos, in the northern Sporades, close to the island's airport. Cliffs surround it and it has coarse sand and deep blue water that have stayed largely undeveloped. Guides say it gets little shelter from the strong summer winds, and the seabed drops away quickly, so it is not ideal for families or weak swimmers. It is one of the island's naturist beaches, and nudists use it regularly. It is often confused with Little Banana, the island's better-known nudist cove, which is a short walk away and attracts many returning visitors. Visitors come here for quiet and privacy rather than facilities. Sources describe it as a relatively unknown beach with few visitors, and the exact approach depends on whether you come by boat or on foot.
Getting there
Accounts disagree on the approach. One says cliffs block road access so a boat is the only route. Another places the beach close to the airport and reachable on foot. Check locally before you set out, and do not rely on a walk without confirming the path. There is no parking at the cove. Facilities are none, so bring water, shade and food. Wheelchair access is not possible on the rough path or beach.
What visitors say
Visitors describe a quiet, remote cove with few people and a naturist following. Guides warn about strong winds and a steep drop into deep water, which makes it less suitable for families. Some visitors confuse it with the more popular Little Banana, so check the name before you walk. The main trade-off is peace and privacy against the lack of facilities and shelter.

Legal context
Nudity is not explicitly illegal in Greece on designated naturist beaches, but outside them public nudity can fall under indecent-exposure rules. Stigero has no official naturist designation, so nudity relies on local tolerance. The search found no local ordinance or enforcement record for this cove.
Naturism at Stigero Beach sits under Greece's rules for traditional tolerance — custom more than statute.
