Hi all, I hope I have clicked on the right part for a newbie. My name is Jo McGuiness and I will be visiting Skiathos Town on 26th June for a week with my hubby. I have booked the Oasis studios after spending days looking at all forums etc. It will be our 40th (Ruby) wedding anniversary on the 28th and I have booked this as a surprise. My hubby knows nothing about it whatsoever. I know he will be chuffed and pleased. I have already been on tripadvisor and had much help and tips. Our favourite holiday place in the world is Parga and we will be going back for our 8th time 3rd June for 11 nights, as such nothing has ever compared to this place after travelling extensively all over Greece, Rhodes, Lesbos, Cyprus, Zante, Kefalonia, Halkidiki, Corfu and many more some evening visiting more than once. But have never found anywhere quite as nice. We have heard that Skiathos is very similar, so thought well, why not give it a try and am really looking forward to our 1st visit. we may feel we have found a contender to Parga, I do hope so. I might start asking questions on here as well as the tripadvisor forum to soak in as much knowledge as I can. Look forward to reading all about Skiathos on this forum. Regards, Jo

Welcome Jo. Just been reading your TA posts. Skiathos will not disappoint.
We did Parga a few years ago & loved it but have never been back. Whereas we discovered Skiathos in 2011 & have been back every year since, twice last year!
You could seriously walk from the airport to Oasis, but suggest taxi for the first time as you won't know where you're going.
Enjoy your research & look forward to a wonderful stay.

Welcome Jo. I seem to vaguely remember Parga as a very beautiful spot, but it was only a passing call and over 40 years ago during a driving/camping trip to Greece (driving all the way via Jugoslavia as it was in those days).
Skiathos is our top favourite and I hope you find it as great a place as we do.

Welcome Jo to the forum, ask away, someone will hopefully know the answer. I am sure you will love Skiathos, it is amazing how many people return again and again after their first visit.

Thank you all for your very warm welcomes. Have been doing lots of research and getting more and more excited about my first trip to Skiathos, and want to soak up as much knowledge, tips and information as possible so I can impress hubby when we arrive, to make it nice and easy for his surprise trip. Regards,
Jo |
