Although the first of the charter flights doesn't usually leave the UK for Skiathos until the beginning of May, the Skiathites probably start preparing for the season well before then. Has anyone travelled to Skiathos to celebrate the Greek Orthodox Easter? This is a very exciting time to visit, when the island comes to life after the winter, celebrations going on during the whole Easter weekend. The Greek Orthodox Easter only occasionally falls at the same time as Easter in the UK, below are the dates for the next 10 years if you fancy giving it a go.
2015 - Easter Sunday - April 12th 2016 - Easter Sunday - May 1st 2017 - Easter Sunday - April 16th (same as UK) 2018 - Easter Sunday - April 8th 2019 - Easter Sunday - April 28th 2020 - Easter Sunday - April 19th 2021 - Easter Sunday - May 2nd 2022 - Easter Sunday - April 24th 2023 - Easter Sunday - April 16th 2024 - Easter Sunday - May 5th

At my age, I'd LOVE to give it a go, all ten of them.

4 weeks today before we fly...can`t wait ! Feel as though I know the Island already with all the reading I`ve done about it ! Hope we aren`t going too early...but these are the usual 2 weeks that we have, just hope the weather is decent . Last 2 years we had in Zante it was scorching every day...so here`s hoping !

Easter in Skiathos is a wonderful experience. I strongly recommend you all to experience it if you have the possibility.
