Skiathos Town Evening Tour with Local Liqueur Tasting
Are you ready to fall in love with the charm and character of Skiathos Town on this laid-back town walk? We'll kick things off by wandering along Papadiamantis Street – the heart of the town, packed with shops, cafés and everyday local life. From there, we'll stroll up to the Church of the Three Hierarches, a striking slice of island history. Vasilis, one of our expert guides, says, ‘Only a few steps from the centre of town are hidden corners, with beautiful churches and peaceful cobbled streets. Skiathos played a hugely symbolic role in Greece's fight for independence – our first flag was raised here in 1807.'Next, we'll swing by the Skiathitiko Spiti – an old home-turned-museum where you'll get a feel for how islanders lived back in the day. After a nose around, we'll sip a little local liqueur made by the owner – trust us, it's a treat. Then it's on to the maze-like Plakes quarter, with its narrow lanes and timeworn houses, bright splashes of bougainvillea and classic blue shutters. Limnia is next, where you'll have the chance to pop into either Panagia Limnia or the Holy Trinity Church – both full of stories and island spirit.We'll follow a coastal path down to the Old Port, soaking up the sea views before heading back towards the start. But not before one final stop – the House of Alexandros Papadiamantis, one of Greece's literary legends. Just next door is Café Nostalgos – said to be his old haunt – where we'll wrap up the tour with a drink and some dreamy views.

Dette øhop giver dig gode muligheder for at opleve nogle af perlerne i øgruppen Sporaderne. Vi besøger glamourøse Skopelos – det var her den klassiske musical Mamma Mia blev indspillet – og fredelige Alonissos.Først sejler vi til Alonissos, og undervejs passerer vi Sporadernes Marine Park. Dette område blev skabt for at beskytte de lokale kolonier af den sjældne middelhavs-munkesæl, og med lidt held kan du få øje på nogle af disse yndefulde væsener. Der vil også være et fotostop ved De Blå Grotter. Fremme på Alonissos har du 1,5 time på egen hånd til at gøre, hvad du har lyst til – slappe af på stranden, tage på en vandretur eller nyde en herlig frokost.Derefter fortsætter vi til Skopelos. Dens kirker med blå kupler og de hvidkalkede landsbyer er det syn, alle forventer af Grækenland. Gå på opdagelse i de stilfulde butikker, køb nogle souvenirs eller slap af på en taverna i havnen. Du skal blot sørge for at prøve en Skopelos ostetærte - den er berømt og meget lækker. Når vi vender tilbage til Skiathos, vil der også være et kort stop på Milia-stranden.
