Greek Islands: Skiathos
With about 45km of coastline and a population of 4,000 Skiathos is a remarkable little island. The narrow lanes of Chora are a wonderful maze to rival Rhodes old town and they have some of the finest beaches in all of greece. Inland, Skiathos is a green island covered by a thick pine forest that attracts wildlife watchers in their droves. As a result of all these factors, Skiathos became one of the most cosmopolitan Greek islands.
Alongside the gaudy tourist restaurants (avoid them at all costs) and the traditional ouzeri-fish tavernas, a new breed of restaurant has taken root on the island. You can get high quality meals with not a french fried chip in sight if you are prepared to pay just a tiny bit more than you would in those tacky tourist places where they have photos on the menus which is never a sign of a chef aiming for michelin stars.
