Have a great birthday eljhem. I can't think of a better place to celebrate than Skiathos. You'll certainly be spoiled for choice for places to have your birthday meal! Bob

I hope you had a fab day. It would be a tough job trying to think of a better place to enjoy a birthday celebration. As I'm not a fb member I can't appreciate your photo's.

Hope you had a wonderful day. Gotta love a birthday in Skiathos. I've done a few! Feeling low tonight as our son & daughter in law flew out earlier. And, they phoned us to remind us what we're missing!! Wishing we'd joined them 😣

FRIDAY, Allowed GOM an birthday treat of watching registration for VESPA meet up at Amerretto. I watched planes landings at safe distance. This cost him a carafe of wine at Milo's. Birthday dinner at a taverna over looking the old harbour. Food was good but didn't quite meet expectations, booked table was given to someone else.
Strolled back to terminus doing a few bits of shopping and stopping for an ouezo.
Back to balcony to drinkies as usual

We saw all those Vespas, Eljhem! I was trying to cross Papadimanti when they came by. Quite a spectacle to see so many in one place - nostalgia for Paul, as he had one when he was 16.

Hi, Sorry I haven't been on for a while. Suffice to say we had an amazing 2nd week. Even got GOM on the Mama Mia cruise. We are returning. Trying to sort out a two centre trip to both Skiathos and Skopelos next September. Any suggestions from anyone gratefully received.

Hi eljhem, I stayed on Skopelos my first trip to the Sporades in 2015 and chose the Melrose Apartments outside of the main harbour town. Best equipped Greek accommodation I have ever stayed in although there was no safe in my apartment. Run by a lovely couple, Maria (exceptional English) and her husband, Georgious (pronounced Yorgosh). I stayed on a B&B basis and her breakfasts were fantastic.
Kevb also did an overnight staying in accommodation at the back of the town (I think) so he may be able to help.
If you are looking for accommodation with a sea view, I am afraid I cannot help.

I stayed just for 1 night at Triantafyllou Maria Rooms, they are on booking.com so you can just book them directly. There are photos on booking.com site. Not sure if it would suit for a '2 site' holiday as theres no pool or pool bar or anything like that, just a block of rooms (not even sure if b&b is an option). Rooms themselves were spacious and clean with large fridge and air con at no extra cost (it was equivalent of about £17 per night when I went in 2015!). Very friendly family run, owner turned up in his car at the ferry port to take me back to the rooms. Once you know where it is it is actually only about 10 min walk back to the harbour front but the location of the rooms themselves is very rural. For a proper hotel with all amenities in a good location the Dolphin always looks good when I've walked past it but never stayed. Probably not very cheap though. If you didnt mind taking a bus about 30 min out of Skopelos town there is Panormos if you were looking for a relaxing week, lovely (part pebbly though) beach and a smattering of hotels but its all pretty low key.
