Just back from eleven great nights and I will try and be brief! Two new boomerangers
Spent first night at hotel, La Piscine in town. Great meal by the pool with candles, what a start.
Saturday in town and it rained for an hour, thankfully no more for the rest of our stay.
Evening meal at Marmita, good but certainly not the best in Skiathos as trip advisor would have you believe.Sunday at hotel for sunbathing with evening meal at Taverna Selini, great views over old port and food and service excellent.
Monday, bus to stop 24 then walked through forest to Elia then Mandraki. Continued round headland to a late lunch at Agia Eleni, our second favourite beach and a lovely lunch after over three hours walk!
Evening meal in Lynhari, some love this place but for us the only poor meal of the holiday, food mixed and service poor and seated looking at the toilet and a row of buggies didn't help.
Tuesday bus to Troulos day on the beach.Good lunch but wasps a problem. Evening meal at Palouki steak house, the mixed grill for two was great as was the feta in filo pastry with honey, service first class and table on the terrace.
Wednesday bus to Kanapitsa and walked round the headland via Vrom beach to Kolios. Lovely views and lunch at Kolios, evening hotel.
Thursday hotel as tired walking with evening meal at En Plo. Very good food and service and views!
Friday airport day, taxi to Xanemos, swam and watched from end then walked back via dirt road to the terminal, lots of work underway for the changes then spent day at the end of the runway or eating at Mylos taverna, really lovely food and views all round the bay.
Saturday, bus to Kouk but whilst beach lovely, the tavernas and toilets poor so we got bus back to Achladies for lunch then the water taxi back to town, a really lovely day. Evening meal at Limanaki, best meal of the holiday and service and views also excellent.
Sunday stayed at hotel and packed with evening meal at Limanaki again, superb.
Monday, last day so off to our fav beach at Vrom with the best taverna and so chilled. Last night at Taverna Selini again for port views.
From the beaches, food, people, scenery, airport and port etc the whole experience was outstanding and we will be back and soon. Wasps were a slight problem in Troulos and Kolios otherwise even the mossies behaved with only a few bites, thanks for all the tips!
Our hotel was a great base and we loved the town with lots to do in the evenings though I appreciate many prefer the peace of the resorts. Next time we will,visit Skopelos and perhaps hire a car to see the rest.
Thanks to you all for your help and guidance, it felt like we knew the place so no problems or worries. I never saw the Skiathian, where did you hide?
