Sounds like a wonderful day. And people (on certain forums) still say that Skiathos has nothing to entertain children! A friend of ours dined at Sklithri last night with 3 youngsters. She said it was the most amazing evening watching the children playing in the sand whilst they had dessert. A great way to make memories. Enjoy

On an empty beach, after the sun’s gone down.

The complainers are the sort of people who feed their children with iPads and tablets to keep them entertained.
It's funny, I see so many kids happily playing in sand, fiddling with empty cardboard boxes and stamping in puddles. Those are the kids likely to grow up reasonably balanced and well behaved.

Sadly our last day on the island, this morning we viewed a property on megali ammos next to twilight taverna, possibly/maybe. Just Sue and I spent the day on megali ammos beach, lunch in animos ? , a bit overcast today but still hot,
Sadly never caught up with Kate and Paul to say goodbye, hope you have a wonderful rest of your stay in Koukounaries, so nice to meet you both. This evening we viewed another property just up from Alexandros taverna in town, then headed to Richie povourie to eat, if you’ve not tried the food here you’re missing out. Our friend Chris was with us, we all chose 2 tapas each, everything excellent, my favourite was the belly pork. We opted for a bottle of house red to accompany the meal, I challenge anyone to get such a good quality wine for the equivalent of 12€ back in the uk. After an excellent meal we walked down the slope to the venue. This is not a regular haunt of ours, but pleasantly surprised, service very good, good g&t and only 5€ .we then meandered down the front to mythos, just a nice chilled bar to sit and people watch.
Called in main street to say our goodbyes then off to see our good friend Phed in phedrocks, only called in for one, managed to sneak away 2 hours later.
Busy morning ahead, Sue off to oasis to help our daughter with the 2 little ones,, can’t believe how much stuff an 8&3 year old need, leaving myself to get our luggage to the airport,
We are planning a 3-4 week stay next year, but fingers crossed we can find a window before the season ends the same as last year when we managed to sneak a cheeky 5 days late August.
Once again Skiathos has exceeded all our expectations, I feel we may have created several more boomerangers, always a concern when you introduce people to a place you have an infinity with, but to a man all 27 of our party said they will be back.

Totally with you Dave, and can understand why Kate booked for 4 weeks. I’ve been on iPad all night looking for “deals” for a last minute trip..... nothing so far I will not be beaten though Been good reading your feedback, thanks

So there’s a possibility you might make my birthday party Tre? Dave? (Don’t bring 27 family though, it’ll be towards the end of our holiday so there won’t be a huge number of Euros behind the bar!)

Such a shame we didn’t get to see you and Sue again, Dave. It was so lovely to meet you both and some of your friends/family. (You should get a week’s free holiday from the Mayor for introducing 27 new Boomers to the island!). Hope your daughter enjoyed her night out - I met Sue when she was on her way to babysit.
How lovely of Rhys to share out his birthday cake .... no wonder you’re such a proud grandad!
Hope your journey home is smooth and stress-free and good luck with your forward planning .... may see you in September!
