Greece, Skiathos

Skiathos island Airport, Alexandros Papadiamantis, has to be the new, must see, crazy airport landings for Europe. Very similar to Princess Julianna at St Maarten in the Caribbean. When you have got over this arrival you then have a beautiful island with many beaches to explore. Transfers from the airport to Skiathos town is just 10 minutes and the first place most will visit is the Old harbour for views across the Mediterranean.

Down on Kechria beach, located on the north of the island, offers shingle beaches with lots of grass too making a contrasting change to the more visited south of the island.

Heard some wonderful recommendations about this hotel, Cape Mitikas Villa,  looks very good on tripadvisor. More for this place when I get more time on Skiathos.
