The Skiathos Diamond have their own taverna, but there are many more within a 10 minute walk. About 200 yards down the road is Infinity Blue, one of the most popular tavernas on the island, which has great views over Kolios Bay. It is also only a 10 minute walk to Aghia Paraskevi, where there are numerous other tavernas including Green Park, Jimmy's Pizza, Taverna Avli and many more. For drinks nearby, other than in Aghia Paraskevi there is the Theodora Apartments about 200 yards up the road in one direction and the Xanti Studio Bar near Infinity Blue and there is a bar next door at the Veronica Apartments. Opposite the Diamond is a small supermarket for all the things you may need. Bus stop 15 is at the end of the road near Infinity Blue to get you to and from other parts of the island. You will only need to go into town if you want to, not because you have to. See my thread on this forum for the Diamond Apartments.

I would go along with Woody's recommendations and suggest that for the best experience of Infinity Blue arrive just before dusk to take advantage of the lights coming on across the bay in Evia. The view is tremendous. I would also wholeheartedly second the Xanthi Bar. Matina & Bill are wonderful hosts and the have a great weekly barbecue! It's also a great place to drop into for a nightcap on your way home to the Diamond Studios. Bob

I go along with Kelso and Woody too.Kolios is great as you are half way down the island and its easy to get into town on the bus from bus stop 15 which is close to where you are staying.If you like to walk you can do a nice circular walk from the Diamond Apartments round the Platanias Valley.
