Hello all,
Firstly apologies if my questions are
posted in the wrong area. I saw general chat and hoped this would fit.
So 6 years ago (June 2009,) my boyfriend and i travelled to Skiathos for what was 2 weeks of absolute paradise. We came away engaged after my (now husband,) proposed on a boat not far from Kolios, with a ring he bought from a very nice greek jewellers down Papadiamantis street. :-)
2 years later we married, and now 6 years on we have 2 beautiful children.
Every year we say we are going back, but something else is always preoccuping our finances.
This year we moved house, but dispite work needing to be done we sat down the other night and decided next year is the year!
So upon searching the usual travel company websites, we are finding it expensive for what's on offer. Plus the accomodation not entirely suitable for a family of 4 with what will be a 4 year old and 18 month old. Villas seem to be alot also for just a weeks stay.
Skiathos is not an island which deserves cheap prices or roudy family hotels of course, this is not what we want and is why we love it so. However i am now seeking some direction and advice from those 'boomerangers,' as to what would suit us and where.
Can you recommend an apartment complex with 2 bedrooms, not too far walk from the sea? Or a villa with a reasonable price range for early next summer?
We're happy to book independently and then find flights. We're also equally happy to go through a tour operator if the accomodation suits and price isn't through the roof.
Anything you can recommend will be so very helpful in what will hopefully make our next trip, and our childrens first, as amazing and memorable as it was before!
Thank you. :-)
