Hi
Thank you.
My husband and myself have only been to Skiathos once, in 2012, and are hoping to return at the end of May beginning of June.
Could you tell me what the weather will be like then please?
Many thanks
Liz

Welcome, liz. Have a look in the general discussion forum and read all around the site. We haven't been as early as May so I can only suggest the weather will be better than here in UK! If you read the various Feedback posts, I expect you will find an odd mention of the weather, but not many - it doesn't feature often simply because the weather is "satisfactory". Here's a link to a May/June visit report and the author doesn't say a word about weather. skiathosboomerang.freeforums.net/thread/74/skiathos-june-2013I think we have had rain on every visit, but it had absolutely no impact on our holidays. My only reservation about May/June is that the sea temperaturfe would be far too  for me. But my partner would thoroughly enjoy it, so you take it as it comes - she's a toughy, I'm a softypants big girl's blouse. On the other hand, I'm sure the flora woiuld be so much better then. The only reason we don't go in May/June is because we can only afford to go twice and I need a bit (correction, a lot!) more warmth in the water. When I win the lottery, we'll buy a place out there and be there all year round and fiddlesticks to the weather! Do read all round the posts on this website and you'll find that the weather is pretty much the least thing to worry about (not that there's anything else to worry about apart from the toilets in the airport arrivals lounge). ENJOY! |

Thanks for all the info, I know what you mean regarding sea temps, went away to Majorca last year (daughters wedding) at the same time late May and only managed one dip in the sea! it was ok once in but wow it was freezing. Anyway just be lovely to get away from our "weather" for a bit. Last time we went to Skiathos (2012) we stayed in Troulos at the Astoria, which was quite nice but would like to try somewhere else this time but wouldn`t mind staying in Troulos again, the place had a really nice "countryside" feel to it and we had some lovely meals out at various tavernas in the area!

We stay in Troulos and walk past Astoria every morning to the beach for our crack of dawn swim.
