Of course the people that run the beach bars on banana are not happy as it's competition, but the new build has ruined the area very sad.

"Bananarista" I think it is what it is called. Big Banana has had much fewer people on it during the last week, although there was a big party/music gig on last Saturday evening. There were a lot of people arriving as we left at 16:00. The nudists on the left hand side of BB were thrown off a couple of weeks ago and there is now a large amount of sunbeds on the left below the new developement. The water sports centre seems to be up and running though. As for music during the day, I haven't heard any loud music from SB or when we have been leaving passed BB.

Whoa, this doesn't sound good at all. Not sure what can be done if this new place is up and running, can't believe they would ruin the beauty of the area. I'm going to check out the facebook page !!

I heard about this last year on the other forum when I was planning my first visit. In the end I decided not to bother visiting banana beach at all despite me staying in Koukounaries, plenty of others to choose from. It sounds like the new build has really had an impact and not necessarily for the better.

Republished by www.bloggr.info Visitors to Skiathos from the weekend the Holy Spirit and then, faced with an unpleasant surprise after a large section of pine forest to the famous Banana Beach had miraculously disappeared.
In this case of course, the disappearance of old trees is not unsolvable mystery, since one foodservice emerges brazenly in place of the beautiful forest.
Aerial photographs publish illustrating the size of enormous ecological destruction for which resulting heap unanswered questions: 1. It enabled the Municipality of Skiathos in the undertaking to operate in reforested area (Read here the Gov. has declared reforested area); Why did not suspend the building permit and why has authorized (See here the authorization!)?
Two. Who will take the necessary measures to protect the forest, especially since it has been declared a reforested area with GG 649 of 20 November 2012?
Three. Why the Municipality allowing running this business led essentially in obsolescence the positions beach bar that dimopratouse, losing approximately 200chiliades Euros, income the time?
The departments and agencies have chosen to turn a deaf ear to the sound of specific questions. Beyond the construction of a mass of concrete, which affects the landscape and aesthetics of the visitor, the owners of the company went to other artistic interventions such as opening the road through the forest to serve the customers. The size of arbitrariness is one which falls outside the scope of a local scandal and verging on a national, since our nature is our only property. We hope that the leadership of the place to intervene in time .. SOURCE www.bloggr.info Αναδημοσίευση από www.bloggr.info Όσοι επισκέφθηκαν τη Σκιάθο από το τριήμερο του Αγίου Πνεύματος και μετά, βρέθηκαν αντιμέτωποι με μια δυσάρεστη έκπληξη αφού ένα μεγάλο τμήμα του πευκοδάσους στη φημισμένη παραλία Μπανάνα είχε ως δια μαγείας εξαφανιστεί.
Στη συγκεκριμένη περίπτωση βέβαια, η εξαφάνιση των αιωνόβιων δέντρων δεν είναι άλυτο μυστήριο, αφού μία επιχείρηση μαζικής εστίασης ξεπροβάλλει θρασύτατα στη θέση του όμορφου δάσους.
Οι αεροφωτογραφίες που δημοσιεύουμε αποτυπώνουν το μέγεθος της τεράστιας οικολογικής καταστροφής για την οποία προκύπτει σωρεία αναπάντητων ερωτημάτων: 1. Γιατί επέτρεψε ο Δήμος Σκιάθου στη συγκεκριμένη επιχείρηση να λειτουργεί σε αναδασωτέα έκταση (Διαβάστε εδώ το ΦΕΚ που έχει κηρύξει αναδασωτέα την περιοχή); Γιατί δεν προέβη σε αναστολή οικοδομικής άδειας και γιατί χορήγησε άδεια λειτουργίας (Δείτε εδώ την άδεια λειτουργίας!);
2. Ποιος λαμβάνει τα απαραίτητα μέτρα προστασίας του δάσους, τη στιγμή μάλιστα που αυτό έχει κηρυχθεί ως αναδασωτέα έκταση με το ΦΕΚ 649 της 20ης Νοεμβρίου 2012;
3. Γιατί ο Δήμος επιτρέποντας την λειτουργία αυτής της επιχείρησης οδήγησε ουσιαστικά σε απαξίωση τις θέσεις beach bar που δημοπρατούσε, χάνοντας περίπου 200χιλιάδες ευρώ έσοδα τον χρόνο;
Οι αρμόδιες υπηρεσίες και φορείς επέλεξαν να κωφεύσουν στο άκουσμα των συγκεκριμένων ερωτημάτων. Πέρα από την ανέγερση μιας μάζας από σκυρόδεμα, η οποία προσβάλλει το τοπίο και την αισθητική του επισκέπτη, οι ιδιοκτήτες της επιχείρησης προχώρησαν και σε άλλες εικαστικές παρεμβάσεις όπως το άνοιγμα δρόμου, μέσα από το δάσος, για να εξυπηρετούνται οι πελάτες τους. Το μέγεθος της αυθαιρεσίας είναι τέτοιο που ξεφεύγει από το πλαίσιο ενός τοπικού σκανδάλου και αγγίζει τα όρια ενός εθνικού, δεδομένου ότι η φύση μας είναι η μοναδική μας περιουσία. Ελπίζουμε η ηγεσία του τόπου να παρέμβει εγκαίρως.. πηγη www.bloggr.info

We went to Skiathos on the 12th June just for a week. Big Banana beach was a mess, so we went to look at other beaches.
We have long been dissapointed with BB due to the need to get there really early to get a sun bed, as a lot of spaces are "kept" by folk who insist on saving places for others who turn up at 11:00 in the morning. There are loads of other beautiful beaches, BB has been ruined by those new folks who have just arrived!

Are there any changes for the better on Big Banana?
