Well we made it 😁 Manc Airport was pretty easy going, masks on. We were told that hand luggage had to gu under seat not in overhead lockers - some folk clearly ignored this. Also told no queuing in Isles for the toilets - again this rule didn't apply to some folk 🙄 It did seem like half the plane got swabbed at jsi tho, me, my daughter and sister included. All went OK. The main road has noticeably less traffic on it which is rather nice. Buses are less frequent. AP is quieter. The corner where platanias is has the most closed tavernas. Went to Jimmy's for tea 1st night, booked a table as there's 10 of us. That place is as busy as ever any by 8.30pm folk were waiting for tables. The beach is lovely and quiet, it's bliss! Takes me back to September 25yrs ago. Water sports are on here, and the guy is giving us good deals. 3 rings cost 30 euro. Bro in law took both his little boys out on the jetski, they loved it. 30 euro for that too. Wandered round town early eve, lovely and quiet. Asprolithos - top of papadimanti and right past the school. We've not eaten here before (don't know why) it was fantastic, will definitely be going back. Strolled back down pap St at 10pm. Whole lot busier, don't expect any social distancing down that street. Masks are to be worn in all shops tho. It's been blowing a reet gale all night, so not slept. Hopefully going to the monastery in a few hrs and then platanos for lunch.

Platanos was as lovely as ever for lunch. The monastery was quiet, went un the shop to get my honey and the shelves are pretty bare. I don't think they have made any this year. I got 1 of 6 years of orange honey. There was no plain honey at all. The shelves with all the different liquors were looking rather empty too.
If anyone is on the "❤️ I love skiathos ❤️" page on fb, I did put a few posts with various piccies on there. Not even gonna attempt to try pics on here, my brain is on holiday mode.

theres a fantastic honey shop on pap street on the left going up from the port, i think we paid 12 euros and its excellent. They only sell pure greek honey none of that blended stuff. This will be the first year i havent bought my yearly stock of honey. Thanks for your posts enjoying them
