Did you stay at the same place and visit the restaurant, i see it has received a poor write up recently.
I know there have been some changes, so are standards slipping ?

I think the changes have only really been in owning/running of the restaurant and standards slipping? Not a chance, I am still totally impressed with both the food and the service every time I go there. It's so nice to get something decent to drink also instead of just a carafe of something wine looking from where you may never know.

Plus absolutely nothing beats the view.

I have managed to find some lovely places though for a more Greek fare, you must make a trip up to the Panorama on the road up to Evangelistria, fantastic food just incredible views, highest taverna on the island i think, and also there is a place on Megali Amos, think its called Thessalonikis, just a wonderful place get some ouzo and loads of bits and just relax.

Anyway I have learned to totally avoid the harbour front, and found some lovely places.

looking forward to returning

Sally sounds good, after all.
I know the Panorama well but the Platanis is the highest taverna and is nearby at Profitas Elias give it a try next time the view is breathtaking.

oh yeah, dont be put off by the odd bad review, the windmill is still fantastic and in my opinion worth the extra money, sure your not going to eat there every night but it should be the highlight of your holiday.

Now this other place, is it on the same road as the panorama? im not sure where you mean.

Hi Sallybear, hadn't forgotten you, I have been busy past few weeks as i am into cake decorating and been busy drumming up business!!! You lucky thing going back to Skiathos. I would love to go back this month. where are you staying this time. We seem to go back to the Bourtzi each year and that suits us fine.
It is good after a while knowing the best places to eat and chill and where to avoid.
The taverna on megali amos is good, in fact there are 2 there which are ok.
We also prefer to find places to eat away from the harbour, but occasionaly just sitting watching people and the boats is sooooooooooooo wonderful!
Have a great time, which I'm sure you will.... We will be back there again next year..
cheers Jan

Hey!

Off on our first holiday to Skiathos in 57 sleeps (!) and would love some ideas of where to go and where to avoid. We want places with a bit of atmosphere but where they won't charge us the earth as we're tourists (eating and drinking-wise).

The place looks amazing!!!! We're staying in Skiathos Town.

Any help greatly appreciated!

One of the best tavernas in the town has to be Polykratis, it may not have the best views but the food and service are hard to beat. Its towards the back not far from the Acropolis crossroads. I would also recommend the Windmill, the location and views are fantastic. Save it for a special occasion.

Thank you! I have emailed the owners of the windmill to try and book a table but haven't heard back yet.

Ooh I loved the windmill restaurant - the food was gorgeous and the view and ambience was perfect. We stayed in Skiathos for a fortnight and went there twice. 8)
