My advice is to avoid this lot like the plague: once you are on their
emailing list (and they add you to others without you requesting it) you
will never ever get off them without a lot of hassle.

>About Skiathos ("The Island of Poets")
>Skiathos is a beautiful, wooded island, far greener than one
>would expect a Greek island to be, which has between 60 & 70 fine sandy
>beaches,
>many of which have not become overcrowded &
>some of which can be virtually empty, even in the height of summer.
>The environment is incredibly varied & can range from hidden, wooded
>valleys (like our own in Zorbathes) to Monasteries set against a
>backdrop of barren rock, from shallow beaches with pastures behind to
>plunging cliffs with beaches nestling below them, only accessible by
>boat.
>There are several offshore islands which are worth visiting and where
>you will find beaches with less people on them than the main island
>ones.
>  At the eastern end of the island is the main (& only) town, also called
>Skiathos, surrounding a well sheltered harbour which fills in the summer
>with every type of vessel from 3 metre fishing boats to 11 metre yachts
>to 40 metre motor yachts. In Skiathos town you can find everything.
>It is a thriving, cosmopolitan centre that hums with energy during the
>summer months contrasting nicely with the lazy beach days.
>You can have a slow ouzo on the waterfront, boogie all night, shop 'til
>you drop or fill yourself at one of the many of tavernas & restaurants.
>Whatever you fancy, there will be someone catering for it.
>Places of interest & beauty worth a visit are:
>The church of Aghios Nikolaos, The Old Castle, The Bourtzi, The Plakes,
>The graveyard (where my father was buried for 3 years), The boatyard by
>Megali Ammos Beach, Papadiamantis House
>A walk through the upper west part of Skiathos, from the Health Centre
>down to the Plakes and up & back to the fish market and Old Port. This
>is the most original part of Skiathos and the narrow streets give it a
>lot of atmosphere.
>The main road follows the south coast until it reaches the west end of
>the island & terminates at Koukounaries beach.
>Many famous Artists of Greece, like Alexander Papadiamantis
>and Alexander Moraitidis were born in Skiathos ("The Island of Poets").
