How to get from the Skiathos Palace to Koukounaries resort by foot

If you're not a regular visitor to Skiathos, please ignore this post.

"Steve," people say (so I know who they're talking to) "How do I get from the Skiathos Palace hotel to Koukounaries by foot?  That's the tavernas at the resort, not the beach.  The road is long and winding, with no footpaths and blind corners aplenty.  It looks like quite a trek, not to say dangerous.  Isn't there a quicker, safer way?"

Yes.  Yes, there is.

Come out of the bottom of the drive from the Palace.  Cross the road, and immediately before the crash barrier there's a pathway down to the beach.

Go down the pathway, until you reach the beach.  Then walk past the bridge and small shop on your left.  In front of you you'll see some green gates which lead to the nature reserve.  Go through these, and follow the path.  You'll find a gate at the end next to Bus Stop 23, opposite Stamelos and the supermarket.

Ten minutes walk from the bottom of the drive, tops.
