I have not written too much about travel for a while on the blog but I recently visited Skiathos in Greece for a week and found the island well worth a visit, it was a very picturesque island with some beautiful beaches such as Koukounaries with good facilities, it is worth hiring a car to get to some of the more off the track beaches, Skiathios Town is the hub of the island with lots of restaurants to choose from it has a friendly laid back atmosphere, a restaurant worth eating at is The Windmill which has fantastic views over the harbour as you dine outside on a series of terraces high above the town, photo opportunities galore. If you stay in Skiathos Town you have to travel to the better beaches although their are beaches local to the town, if you stay near the better beaches the nightlife is more low key tavernas and you can catch a regular bus into Skiathos which takes 30 minutes although taxis are easily found.
