Theo and his staff will assure you of a lovely evening, traditional live music and always full, need I say more!
Unfortunately the photo is of the kitchen and out of season. Therefore it will not do this taverna the credit it deserves, Recommended.
If any one is out there September 24th, be sure to congratulate them as they will have been married 13 years.

Note - I'm using the word "road" in a Skiathos town centre manner!

There is a road going up the hill on the front above the old harbour where Chicken George, Stamatis, O'Batis and Kostas are located. Hellenikon is one road further inland, so the easiest way I can think of to direct you there is to walk up the road with the aforementioned tavernas and take one of the alleys between, say Stamatis and O'Batis, then turn right at the next road heading downhill. You'll come to the enclosed seating area with musicians on the right, and the kitchen on the left.

Alternatively, follow the "next" road up from the church square, past the jewellers and head uphill, then the kitchen appears as in the photo above, on your right with the seats on the left.

Is a "don't miss" on our trips, but this year, it was raining. Theo said the rain had made it impossible for the musicians to play that night. It was almost deserted. The food was great as usual, but actually, the service was pretty lousy by their standards. Theo went into the kitchen area and sat watching the television - I had to go in there to get our bill after waiting an excessive period.
