12 sleeps now ? Suitcases out & preparations started! It's time to decide how "low key" this trip will be. For example: Do I take my GHD's? (Sorry guys, the ladies will understand!) or, can I do "Skiath-hair" for 2 weeks? Do I need heels? No!!!! How much can I "minimalise" make up & toiletries? I so wish I was able to plan a "capsule" wardrobe! Beach towel hire would be a bonus! Any tips welcome! ✈✈ ??✈✈

One of the things I love about Skiathos is you can be as dressed up or dressed down as you like and you never feel out of place. Defo no heels. GHD's .. yes if you think you will start to fret about uncontrollable hair Make up and toiletries .. go for the sunkissed look Clothes .. pack your case and then take a third out again Beach towel .. buy one there for around €5 and leave it Top tip .. have a bloomin good time

Thanks Tre. We always overpack, its a woman thing, we have to have so much 'just in case', having said that I once went island hopping for two weeks with just a rucksack and managed great it was quite liberating. Another tip, buy some of your toiletries in Boots in departure at the airport it saves on luggage weight then you can get more clothes in Have a great holiday

kathos, Liking your style. Strangely, I've just been writing a list of things I could get at Boots at the airport! Did this for our earlier holiday to Agadir. But it's Skiathos - we'll manage! Just learned that Theodora has hair dryers this year!, Whoop, one less thing to pack What with day cream, sun cream, night cream, just in case cream!! Ooh, wish I was still 20 something ..... NOT Our "bigger" problem is that we've listed 19+ restaurants/tavernas for our 14 day stay!! So here's to a 3 week stay next time! Tre

I always empty my shampoos etc. into smaller containers, put cling film over the top and then screw the lid on. Works wonders.

Definitely shopping for toiletries at airport! Plus, if we have to pay excess baggage, so be it. Decided not to worry & just pack. Skiathos here we come.... That'll be Friday am from Manchester!
