Well, originally planned and booked to return to stoupa in july.
now change of plan , house sold, lots happening, problem with dog minder for july.
So... changed booking today to 30th August couldnt get accommodation wanted in stoupa, so we are coming back to Skiathos.
Not alot of places left we fancied,had to stick to Thomas cook to change. Decided to try Kolios and luxery studio at Theodoras. The best bit from east mids 25 mins from home.
We are planning to not go into town every night like usual and avoid the bus crush, will try new tavernas, any suggestions?
When are you there Dennis must meet up if same time.
Feeling very excited already

Cariad, a new adventure awaits you, what’s better than trying out new places for food and beverages. We have only stopped off in troulos, and kolios ,but have friends who return every year.
Looking forward to updates with your opinion of place in general but also tavernas, excellent you have a flight relatively close to home.

Well Cariad, as my granny used to say, "what's before you won't go by you!" Theodoras is a great choice. They have a great bar there, but don't miss out on visiting the Xanthi Bar, which you will pass on your way to and from the bus stop. They do a great barbecue and quiz night, on a Monday, if my memory serves me right. Matina and Bill are fantastic hosts. Also on your way to and from the bus stop you will pass The Skiathos Diamond which has a great restaurant attached, which is open to non-residents. It is in a marquee by their pool, but don't let that put you off. I can't remember if you've been to Infinity Blue, but if not you must give it a try. You are also spoiled for choice for restaurants in Aghia Paraskevi, Jimmy's, Green Park, Kohili, Mesostrato, Avli to name just a few. I'm sure you'll have a great time!

Exciting times, Cariad- although a house move is somewhat stressful! Last time we moved was 16 years ago and we swore we'd never do it again! Have you found a new home, or is it a matter of sell first, then search? Good luck, anyway.
It's great to try somewhere new (says the woman who stayed only at the Panorama for her first eight visits!!!) I'm sure you'll love it! Tre has stayed at Theodora & gives it great reviews .... if you look back on her posts you should find some info.

Hi Cariad. The "Who's going in 2019" thread is rather thin at the moment, but we're on it, same time as you, 30th August (I logged it in September).

we should meet one afternoon at the bourtzi, we have never eaten or drank there yet in all our trips.
Still have lots of places to see, although planning a lazy time to recover from house move

Yes, let's try doing that Cariad. I can't say when we'll be there, but we tend to end up there most days early afternoon-ish.

Welcome to the valley Cariad, I am sure you are going to have a wonderful time. Bob has given you a great list of restaurants to visit. After five visits to AP, I finally visited Platanias restaurant on my penultimate night last September and had one of the best eating experiences in all my visits! I haven't got around to finishing my diary from my last visit, perhaps I should, but would definitely visit this restaurant again. Slightly more expensive than most but for me was worth every penny. Even my brother was impressed! Another restaurant to visit on the other side of the Iguana bar, is the Boubouniaki (think that is the right spelling?), had some good meals in there. You will be spoilt for choice, and of course, there are all the options in Dennis' favourite haunt just a couple of bus stops away!

I'm there from August 30th as well but I'm arriving by ferry so I won't be on the flight from EMA. We should have a forum frape on the Bourtzi one day as D & V are there same time too.

that would be good, i'd love to hear all about your travels, i think we might need something stronger than a frappe if Dennis is on form !
