Hello All, we're off to Skiathos Town on 1st July. Been to many, many Greek Islands but never Skiathos. A group of 6 of us, ages range from 23 - 65, all looking forward to a bit of Greece but something brand new  |

Been to many, many Greek Islands but never Skiathos. This is the one you've been waiting for.  |

Hmmn - interesting. What other parts of Greece have you done and what make Skiathos your number one?

Skiathos is so friendly, small and intimate, as well as being a nice quiet destination without any 18-30 areas like some of the Greek islands. Within days, you can get to know most of the island and know where your favorite places are.
Corfu
Zante
Kos
Crete

Hmmn - interesting. What other parts of Greece have you done and what make Skiathos your number one? Woody says it all (and I've so far only been once - but going twice this year and already booked June 2015 - if I'm spared that long!). It's just so me, lovely verdant countryside, calm, the usual Greeks. Whatever else? We shall be almost at the end of our first visit this year when you arrive. When you get back you MUST tell us how you found it. Corfu (a lot) Samos (several) Mikonos Kos Zakinthos Cyprus (for 18 months, serviceman, nearly 50 years ago!) Paxos Aegina Poros Crete Camped around the mainland (drove there overland all the way 45 years ago!). Edited to add..Santorini Rhodes |

It sounds absolutely fantastic. We've done all the main islands; areas in Corfu, Zante, Crete, Lesbos, Rhodes, Santorini, Kos - tend to avoid the bustling resorts though. If I was pushed to name a favourite I'd go San Stephanos, NW coast of Corfu. It's stunning, extremely green and just the right size. Hubby disagrees though, for him it's Pefkos in Rhodes. I will definitely post a review when back from Skiathos.
