no worries i know many excellent restaurants in town,
even ones that look really posh but cost the same as all the others,
and great traditional restaurants with live music and little tourists.
so come and find me i'll make u a great cocktail and tell u about where to find what;)

Have a go on the two island trip to Skopelos and Thessolonika (good day out)but don't buy it off the kosmos rep.Go down to the old port and book it yourself.
Have a great holiday both of you.

will do that, it does sound like a good day out.

I love going on holiday.
I also love the 1st time you go somewhere & you explore everything for the 1st time. The excitement is fab.

Only 8 weeks today until I go Very Happy

By the way - I think Davy means Alonissos, not Thessalonika.

Sorry michelle Wink

no worries, you may of said Thessalonika as its where you fly to if you go to halkadiki.

I will definately visit skopelos anyway as I will want to see what its like. And if i would of enjoyed a week there. Does anyone know what time the last ferry comes back as I know you can also go yourself.

I also fancy the dog sanctuary & taking a dog for a walk. Ahhhhhh Smile

Ferries normally come back between 6-7 o'clock.

Dog sanctuary is a must if you're a dog-lover. I took a loopy hunting dog called Bruce for a walk. Spent most of it with the lead wrapped round my legs Embarassed

Mrs Foxy took a Rottie called Bertha who spent most of the time lying in the shade.

thanks for the info foxy. Will I easily find the dog sanctuary, is it just off one of the bus stops?

Does anyone have some names of some nice traditional restaurants in skiathos town?

What are the prices like in skiathos ie drink, food?

The dog shelter is a bit of a hike up the Asselinos Road from bus stop 18 at Troulos....all uphill!

helliniko, alexandros and stamatis are at least three they are up by the church there are a couple more but i cant think of the names.
prices are quite expencive in the trendy bars, and the clubs.
other taverna's in the harbour are normally priced.
and food is as expensive as you make it urself.
