As the weather at home has taken a backward step, and the heating is back on.
its great to be able to think, we’ll be in Skiathos next month,
looking forward to introducing friends and family to the island, also very much looking forward to meeting our Skiathos friends again.

I can’t complain having just returned from a sunny week in Fuerteventura 😎 I can still feel the sun in my bones!
And, 5 weeks as now we’ll be preparing to board for Skiathos!!

we are descending en mass on 26th, 12 persons, most house trained, more arriving on the 29th, Kate, I will apologise in advance, we have several more of our party dotted around the island. Most are house trained, but all are good friends family.
I suggested Skiathos was place I wanted to celebrate my birthday, next thing I know 27 flying over, feel humbled. But also appreciative.

Dave, I did that for my 50th in Malaga area. People just kept rocking up! Fab memories. My 60th also spent in Skiathos, very quietly just the 2 of us but made fabulous by friends on the island.
Sadly, we’ll be leaving 24th so won’t be there to raise a glass to you. Sure you’ll have a great time.
On the other end of the scale, we are there as a family to celebrate our Grandson’s First birthday 💙😍 His Mum & Dad (our son) we’re married at Vromolimnos in 2016.
Have you sorted somewhere for a celebratory evening meal?

Tre, as we have a few little people with us, including 2 of our grandchildren, I have opted for a birthday lunch hopefully at Kanapitsa taverna, Then out for adult time in the evening.
Sadly my son and other 3 grandchildren cannot make it, they live in Seville, the cost and logistics of travel for 5 is inhibiting from Spain.
More celebrating in second week, grandsons 8th birthday and our 40th anniversary. Where better place to be than Skiathos.

Dave, I've changed our dates this year and so will have a birthday there. Sadly I don't even KNOW 27 people to descend on Skiathos for it, so I shall be looking for your full and comprehensive reports of your celebrations.
Have a wonderful time - I'm sure you will. Being in foreign (baggage allowances!), may I offer the following slogan for your guests... "Please no presents, just your presence".

Dave, I hope that you've reminded all of your guests of the old slogan - what happens in Skiathos............
Have a great time.

I decided August was a bit too long to wait for a bit of Greekiness so I've sneaked in a week in Cyprus in June (£475 b&b 7 nights inc luggage and airport transfers) though I probably won't report back much on here.

It's going to be a holiday for all the family to remember, Dave. And a long birthday lunch sounds just perfect!
Good for you, Kev ... we've got 6 weeks until Skiathos but I'm still looking online to see if we can sneak away for a few days before, as it seems ages away!!

Thanks Kate, I think sue and I are going to follow your example and visit for possibly 4 weeks next year, a bit of research will be undertaken during our May visit to try and secure a base for the whole visit, at moment thinking megali ammos, but may change.
Think we’re looking for something a bit more than a hotel room , but again the jury is out.
See you in 5 and a bit weeks
