We'll be staying at the Kanapitsa Mare hotel; having decided to visit Skiathos we left it too late to book and the hotels we'd looked at previously were all full! A very popular island!

Nice choice debjohn. Stroll down to Kanapitsa beach, water taxi to town. Perfect. Plus Taverna on Kanapitsa is lovely for both lunch & dinner. Close by you have Taverna Sklithri on the beach and a new one, well new name/owners, Avaton, which we have yet to try. (It was called Saltybone last year) Ask away if want to know anything.

Thank you, that's reassuring. It does look a lovely area am just keeping my fingers crossed about the hotel.
Oh that's interesting about Saltybone, I'd read about that restaurant on Trip Advisor; I'll keep an eye out for the reviews of Avaton. One query is the roads, we'd like to hire a car but last year on Zante I was terrified for my life as I can only describe it as 'driving on a cliff edge', with a long way to fall! Are they similar in Skiathos? I don't mind off road driving but it was crazy last year.

Have a look in the "Videos" section on here. There's some footage showing driving. In fact, fellow member yorkshiremouth has just re posted one of them today in general discussion; Koukounaries/Skiathos Palace. Hopefully that will give you an idea. There's only one main road from town to Koukounaries. Also, if you google YouTube "Road to Mandraki" you should find some off road footage!
