Can anyone help two Adults(Late-forties) to choose a location on Skiathos next June please. We both like to try the local food and dont mind a late night drink or two in a nice Taverna. Our ideal resort would be relatively peaceful at night with a nice quit(ish) beach during the day and the accommodation would be 3 star min and reasonable close to all amenities. We like to use the local bus services and dont mind a hike to take in the local beauty sites.
Can anyone help?
Aghia Pareskevi was affected by the fire in July, so the pine forest that was the backdrop to the resort has gone. However the hills are showing the first signs of green as the hillside recovers.
Koukounaries will be quieter, with great beaches nearby wherever you go. However you will always get a seat on the bus going in to town.
Lots of brits go to Troulos, but it does nothing for me. You can always stay in town and head out which is what we do.
Stayed at la Luna apartments in Troulos last year and it was fab. Catch the bus from there into Skiathos town for different options for nightlife and some very nice shopping. Troulos had a nice beach with calm waters and can highly recommend Ambrosia and Necter for restaurant in Troulos!

Kouknaries beach is very crowded and to me seems to have been spoilt this year with the extra row of sunbeds they have put there this year. however thee are some excellent uncrowded beaches within a 25 minute walk through the gorgeous forest................and for a really lively night out, the town is only a 20 minute bus ride away........and at 1.5 euros, excellent value!

We love the island so much we have bought a house there.
If you decide to book, tell George (the owner) Mo and Balconies recommended it.
With a bit of luck, will bump into you.

Hi, can anyone tell me what Kolios in Skiathos its like? Have seen some apartments which look quite nice, but never been to Skiathos before, so not sure about the different resorts. We like nice, quiet beaches, with a good choice of tavernas to choose from. Anyone help?
hi mezza have you looked at the members
Kolios has a nice sandy beach with two nice tavernas almost on the sand. It also has one of the best restaurants on the island and another really good one tucked out of the way. Its in easy reach of Aghia Pareskevi where there is a good choice of Tavernas and its lovely beach or if you go the other way Vromolimnos and its great beach the paradise beach bar/restaurant.
It can be hard to get on the bus going in to town, as its usually quite full coming up from Pareskevi in the evenings.
Hi, thanks for the replies, I have been looking at the Hermes apartments, which have quite good reviews, considering they are quite cheap! We normally hire a car to tour around whichever island we go to, so buses etc. wont be a problem. We like to stay somewhere quiet, so Kolios may well suit us. Probably change my mind a few times yet though! All I can say is roll on June!!!!!!
