Babis Studios Skiathos Town

Skiathos. Hanging around enjoying splendid beaches, picturesque scenery and good cuisine

And now about the things, for which most people are coming to Skiathos?

People are coming for the beaches in which Skiathos is rich. Being informed that several beaches are worth visiting, we decided not to stay in a hotel by one of them. For us that would mean staying at one and the same beach for the whole vacation and eating in one and the same restaurant.

The day-cruise was on the list of musts. It was worth doing just to see the turquoise waters of Lalaria and its white pebbles and the rock arch, which is one of the symbols of Skiathos.

A very impressive sight is Castro, the old town of Skiathos. But to my mind it is not reasonable to go there by boat. It is situated on top ...

... of “driving” a boat. This was nearly the same as having a yacht of your own, but without taking care of it.
Time flies unbelievably quickly!

The conclusion is that it must be tried at least once, after that you become addicted. Sailing can’t be compared to anything.

You can find Peter in the New Port. He is a most charming person and a very responsible and experienced sailor. Look for the smallest boat. It is the best one.

... else. Actually it turned out that my friend’s view is the most frequent and it was quite difficult to find something informative about Skiathos even on the Internet until I was lucky to find the website of Geof and Lida Baldry, the Europeans, who have been resident in Skiathos for nearly 35 years by now. We agreed about an excursion to the most interesting places of the island via e-mail and on the agreed day Lida picked us ...

... the harbor while it drizzled off and on. Ventured around town, tackled a small hill, ate dinner and bought dessert at a bakery. We ate our cheap dessert with free coffee on the terrace of the place we were staying and watched the sunset. Ended up sitting outside and talking for quite a while.

Day two: Hiked to the place where the scene from Mamma Mia in which Merryl Streep sings ...

... therefore quiet) and only about a 15 minute walk to the main drag.

Plus she stuck a bottle of wine in the fridge for us.

The first day was spent exploring the town. Both of us were in bed by, like, ten.

Day two was spent between two beaches on the other side of the island... The second was a bit of a hike and hidden. Dinner that evening was phenomenal and included free ...

... I mention the food.... Marilyn you really should have come, we've been thinking of you and Con! Thick, rich yogurt with honey and walnuts, the best, most flaky and creamy spinach pie you've ever tasted - thick, dense breads, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, peppers, - and the olives and feta... and the sagnaki!! I could go on and on.... but suffice to say it's incredibly delicious.... and the warm sea air makes it taste even better! So, as you can tell we're having a ...

... means stop... but amusing. Then Marmaris again and back to the ship. Lots of fun, great way to see the countryside. Back from lunch around 1.45pm, then much needed shower as very dusty. Another show tonight... Classical Music so should be fun. Last nights show was excellent, a juggler, 2 strong men doing a routine that used various gymnastic strength and balance moves, very impressive and then the dancers did a couple of numbers as did the violinist.

... of sandy but stoney too. We love swimming here you can get away from other people and explore the rocks that are quite close to shore because it gets deep quite fast. As we have done so much driving in the last couple of days we are pretty tired and spend most of the 1st day here just at camp or down at the beach just swimming and relaxing as the day goes by. We take the canoes out on the 2nd or 3rd ...

... to a girl in Argentina who's very special, and I layed around unhappily. The Greek culture did its best to keep me smiling. A night spot called "Xilia Xeilia" (A Thousand Lips) opened on a Saturday. It was basically a fancy white palace filled with tables of dressed-up Greeks. Romantic night seeped in through wide-open walls; a show band celebrated its confident songs. Greeks are slow to dance, but by four a.m. the place was alive with movement. Arabian ...
