Skiathos town is a busy, cosmopolitan town during the summer months. Walking along the quayside in the evening is lovely as there are some amazing boats owned by the very wealthy. Many rich and famous people are often in the town. There is a vast array of tavernas and restaurants from which to choose. Our favourite, for a special evening, is the Windmill Restaurant. This is reached by climbing up a lot of steps but this is worth doing for the stunning views of the town at night and the harbour. Transprt to beaches is easy - there\'s a regular and frequent bus service and a water \"taxi\" which will take you to a number of beaches ...
along the south coast. The lovely beaches on the north coast can only be accessed if you hire a car but this is well worth it.

We absolutely loved Skiathos, it was our second visit to the island. The previous time we stayed in Kolios and much preferred to stay in the town and catch the bus out to different beaches each morning, rather than stay out of town and try to catch the bus in for the evening.
The only downside we could say about the town is the motorbikes/scooters that scoot up and down the alleyways.

We stayed close to the top of Papadiamantis Street so it was very convenient for bars and restaurants as well as bus stop no 4 to get to the beaches along the coast.
We ate at some really good restaurants, including:
Asprolithos – great lamb/beef stiffado
Liminaki – Moussaka to-die-for

As ...
it was only the second week of the season, a lot of the beaches didn’t have their sunbeds out – including Banana Beach.
So we caught the bus to bus stop 16 (Ag. Paraskevi) and went to the beach near the Skiathos Princess Hotel. This was very quiet and we were allowed to use the hotel sunbeds for free if we bought a drink or two – not sure that this will be the same at busier times.
The hotel’s own taverna wasn’t open, they were getting it ready for opening towards the end of our stay.
There’s a really nice taverna right at bus stop 16 called Orsa, we left the beach and had lunch there most days.
Great spag bol, Moussaka, soutzoukakia (although this came with frozen chips which was a shame), typically paid around €21 to €23 for 2 main courses, litre of house wine and a beer.

The town is made up of winding alleyways that are great to explore.

In town some of the bars were very quiet, we often had drinks at a restaurant called Dino’s which was smack in the middle of Pap Street and great for people watching.
The people who ran it were great.

We would definitely choose to return to Skiathos but would always want to stay in the town.

Skiathos Town is gorgeous. Loads of shops, restaurants and bars. One of the classier Greek islands and caters for all ages nightlife-wise. Lovely harbour for walks and there\'s the forest walk also, at the other end of town. Will be back for sure. Having been to more than a dozen Greek islands so far and enjoyed them all I\'d certainly recommend Skiathos for a first time Greek island goer and for those who did the usual island hopping of the more basic islands in their youth Skiathos is the next step up.

Skiathos where ever you go is a wonderful island, the apartments are very basic, but very clean. The people in Skiathos are very friendly and I would go back there again and again. What a lovely place to holiday and wind down.
