What a wonderful greek island. The muses hotel knocks spots off all the others. Flowers climbing up outside, ace pool, greek dancing at night and impeccable location. Great beaches all the way around this small island. Some are of the cooking flesh variety and others empty and abandoned. Try hidden beach if that's your thing. (well sign posted) Adored the clothes optional Big Banana and totally nudist Small Banana. Go there if you are open minded but don't take offense. Funnily enough kids are much less likely to be shocked by it than some adults. Notably the adults who wander around tutting aggressively whilst filming everything that moves. The boat around the island is good but in the opinin of my husband and I trips to tsougria and skopelos are a waste of time. Apart from the rubbish Tsougria is uninhabited - I wonder why? And you arrive at Skopelos just as all the shops close for the afternoon before leaving just before the reopen. Note how as the boat pulls back in they suddenly give everyone a free ouzo and make all the sailors dance around to trick anybody watching into thinking we had a good time. You have been warned. Great tavernas everywhere. Skiathos town is smelly in places and quite a way from any decent beaches. Have a good one and take plenty of suncream if you are feeling adventurous.
