Skiathos, Greece: Average Review Ratings

Weather

We went in the last two weeks of June 2013.

Fabulous weather, wall to wall Sunshine In the low to mid thirties with a peak of 40 degrees Celsius mid weekend.

Not humid with a breeze which can be strong at times.

Holiday

Fabulous. Our hotel the Skiathos Premier must be one of the best on the island.

People are friendly and the choice of Tavernas, beaches and food is second to none.

Suggest hiring a Jeep type vehicle for the day and go into the interior and beaches on the North Coast where you could have one to yourself.

The scenery is magnificent.

Yes

Weather

Very hot, but that's what we wanted; temperature in the 30s.

Holiday

Fantastic relaxing holiday: spending days on the beach and enjoying good food in the evenings.

Places Recommended

If you enjoy good food visit Infinity Blue in Kolios (excellent for fresh fish - Sea Bream etc) and for a special occasion try The Windmill in Skiathos Town- a little more expensive but with beautiful views of the port and exquisite food.

Beaches: if you have children, I would recommend Kolios beach, a small level beach. If you like water sports then Kanapitsa, which also has a lovely beach front Taverna.

If you're a party goer than head for Koukounaries: large beach and night life.

If you like trips then take the boat on a island hopping visit to Skopelos & Alonissos, or the Mama Mia tour of Skopelos.

Weather

We went to Skiathos in September, had three overcast day's but that ment we could go on some lovely walks.

Holiday

Our first vist to Skiathos what a lovely Island, so green and no where is far the beaches are clean and the sea is crystal clear.

We stayed at the Anastasia apt's in Achladies, number nine bus stop there was first class, the best apt's we have stayed in on all the Greek islands and we have done most of them.

Places Recommended

The Rose Garden restaurant was lovely, the staff so friendly.

If you like walking go to bus stop twenty three and walk through the pine forest to Maldrackie Beach and round the head land back to Koukounaries; its an easy walk and so lovely. Takes about an hour but we stopped at the beach was so beautiful.

And you must go in to Skiathos town so much to see.

Yes

Weather

We returned to UK yesterday and out of 10 days we had 5 beautiful hot sunny days.

We did get the tail end of hurricane Danny - 4 days of torrential rain and an earth tremor!

Fabulous! Nothing boring about Skiathos weather!

Be prepared for anything. You cannot have a beautiful lush green island and not expect some rain thrown in.

Holiday

Skiathos is a small, friendly and beautiful island.

I am really chilled out now and have loved every minute of my holiday.

We stayed in Hotel Esperides.

Places Recommended

Maniatas Bar - next door to our hotel.
Tuesday night karaoke and Thursday night the Vagabonds entertain you with their guitars and singing ballads from '60's onwards.

Weather

The weather was very hot!
The four times ive been I have never seen rain; therefore always bring a large bottle of sunscreen!

Holiday

I have stayed in Troulos twice.
I like the town the best because you are never far from any of the beaches on the island and most of the night life is in the town.
However if you are looking for a quieter holiday, staying just outside of the town is more recommended.
There are lots of places to eat and drink.
Previously, I stayed in the blue dolphin appartments near the airport.
I would recommend it to everyone!
Great place!

Places Recommended

Go to the Jail House resturant - its amazing!
Everyone recommends the windmill but it has nothing on the Jail House.
The staff are brilliant!
