Hi,

To describe Skiathos as a "Holiday mare" is a little harsh to say the least. I read the review just before setting off on holiday and i was expecting to be gouged from the moment the plane skidded across the footpath...i mean runway.
I found Skiathos to have a mix of of "touristy" and traditional offerings. The food could be expensive and oddly enough in those restaurants, not the best. The best advice is to not go out too hungry(so that you don't collapse into the first fish&chip with a side of mushy peas dump you find!) and have a look around. We found some excellent restaurants and pubs. Some of the food is excellent. I cant recall the name of my favourite restaurant but it is located at the top of the main street. Get the feta for a starter!. The price of drink is the main thing that varies:ranging from €2 to €6. Stick to the travernas, especially off season because there aint that much happening else where. In saying that, if you are looking for a chilled out holiday with good weather, glorious beaches, friendly people and amazing views, then Skiathos is right up your street. Plus you have the advantage of witnessing the reunion of the cast of Cocoon on the beach. All was missing was Steve Guttenberg...so that is a winner!

Summary: Skiathos has something for everyone. Chilled out and friendly.
