Before heading to Skiathos I researched the Mama Mia movie locations on the Island. We walked around the Old Harbour and up to Nicholas Bell Tower to visit these sites and re-live movie moments, that was fun. We loved the little winding streets and the crystal clear water. Either day or night there is something beautiful and interesting to see... More

Supermarket at the bottom of the driveway. Really lovely lazy holiday. Walking distance along the beach into town.. Food, if you like Greek food, was good and no too... More

Not normally our thing for a "youngish" couple but following the recommendation from Trip Advisor we thought we would give it a go. There are two walking tours, the town and the countryside which last a couple of hours and are a welcome change from the beach / pool as well as being an inexpensive alternative to the boat trips...

We joined the guided tour that Vasilis Korallis operates twice a week throughout the summer. The tour takes approximately 1.5 hours and Vasilis provides a fantastic insight into the island, its people and its culture. He is warm and friendly and clearly known by everyone on the island through his walks and his work with the local choir and animal... More

I have been visiting Skiathos since 1997, and, even though I don't drive, I thought that I had seen a fair bit of the island. However, I discovered this book last year and it showed me parts of Skiathos I didn't know existed. I love to get out and about snapping away with my camera and this guide encouraged me... More

We stayed on Skiathos this year in may/june and did all the walks bar one. We saw so much more of the island because of the book and really enjoyed the walks. You must buy this book, its so useful. Our favourite was the walk to Mandraki Beach, it is beautiful, the snack bar on the beach was an experiance... More

We highly recommend Vasilis' walking tour of Old Skiathos. If possible it would be really good to book a tour near the beginning of your vacation in Skiathos because he shares a lot of information about places to see and things to do on the island. He helped us to better understand the island's culture and way of life. We... More
