Lazy days and local ways
Spend your mornings pottering around town, picking-up fresh pastries and people-watching with a coffee, just like the locals. In the afternoon, take a book to the beach for a spot of quiet reading – if you can stop swooning over the scenery that is. Hungry? You’ll find a beachside taverna plating up grilled Greek treats right on cue.
Take a trip to Skiathos Town
Skiathos Town is only a five-minute drive away if you fancy a break from all that relaxing – you can even jump on a water taxi to get there! Its winding streets are stacked with churches, cute cafés and dinky art galleries, not to mention lots of shops. On an evening, al fresco wining and dining at the harbour is the way to go, but Bar Street’s got your name on it if you want to dance the night away.
