Hello to everyone
First time visit to Skiathos and really cannot wait
Some friends have been twice and recommended we visit as they know we like the Greek culture, food and hospitality. We are staying in Skiathos town as despite being in our sixties we do like to stay somewhere with a bit of a buzz but not rowdy
Hope we come home wanting to book again straightaway

He ASKS me to book it now...We go early July and it's only our third visit, also just turned 60 both of us.... let Skiathos weave her majic spell over you both..  |

Our first visit was in 2013 and we booked online return visits before we left for home!
We now book for "next year" before we go "this year". We're arriving in 33 days time, with our next one in the bag for September AND two more already booked for June and September 2017 - we like it and we're well into out seventies with my only regret being I didn't discover Skiathos twenty years ago.

Thanks for the welcome, I suspect that after our week we also will wonder how we never visited Skiathos before

It's a bit strange really why we love Skiathos so much? My wife can't quite understand it, don't get me wrong she love's it but she doesn't get excited like I do! We have been to all the usual places, Corfu, Rhodes, Paros etc but Skiathos is an enigma, maybe it's the lovely beaches, great tavernas, easy buses, beautiful town, blue sea, cold beer, interesting airport and all the other things we all know and love! We first came here about 20 years ago, our daughter has been back recently, my son took his girlfriend 3 years ago and are now going this week for there third time with friends, it's that type of place!

Got to agree with exgreekgod. Hard to put your finger on it. Maybe it's the warmth of the Greek people. Leaving for my third trip in 12 months this lunchtime! Cannot wait :-):-)

I'm not jealous!
We are going for a walk this afternoon on the beach down the end of our road, I think the temperature is supposed to be around 12 degrees!

Just got the cases out of the loft and really looking forward to this holiday, flying Friday 10th. Heard so many brilliant reports about Skiathos, just 4 more sleeps (sound like my grandson at Xmas)
