Ok lovelies,
It's been WAY to long since the last time i shared an adventure.. In fact too long. Truth be told i had to focus on my college degree if i ever wanted to graduate! :P Good news is i did!! (yayy) So, like any travel junkie would do, i decided to make the most of my last summer in Greece! After a week of planning and scheduling i finally got to it. Three destinations in one month! Skiathos Island, Lefkada Island and last but not least beautiful Chalkidiki!! These were my top choices for this summer and i was lucky enough to have great friends and family to follow me on my journeys. I feel like i've been blabbing for too long so i'll just get to it! Here it is, destination number one in my Greek Travel Series, Skiathos Island!!
I'm sure most of you have heard about this Greek island before, and if not, i suggest you look it up! Known for it's beautiful beaches, fresh fish and hospitality, this island is mostly known for its nightlife! And trust me when i say the night becomes the day at Skiathos Island! If your looking for the perfect getaway with your friends then this is it! The island offers both serenity and non-stop partying so WIN WIN for everyone!
Now lets get more more specific. What to do:
- The island is full of amazing beaches so you can't go wrong with any of them! Most popular ones are Koukounaries beach and Bananista beach which is the hottest beach bar on the island! Both beaches will blow you away with the amazing combination of crystal clear waters (you can literally see fish with a naked eye) andsparkly white sand (just like fairydust!). All surrounded by the greenest of trees!! Sounds amazing??Well it is! Be sure to visit both and drink plenty of cocktails!
-The heart of the island is the town center, this is the place to eat and drink! Full of fish tavers, cafes and cocktail bars it is where everyone ends up! Be sure to visit the cocktail bars after 10 at night and see the island buzzing with life!
- Clubbing!! There are three big clubs on the island and you can't miss them! Opening at midnight and closing when the sun rises you must visit one at least for the experience!
-Take the boat cruise around the island and visit the most amazing beaches you will ever see! To book a cruise just visit the marina one afternoon and you just have to pick the boat that catches your eye! Tickets are 15 euros and it is a small price for what you get!
-If you are aware with Greek writers, then visit Papadiamantis house, home to the famous Greek author.
Transportation on the island is easy as it offers a bus shuttle service which comes by every 10 minutes. It takes you to all the beaches and back to the city center until 1 in the morning. Ticket prices are up to 3 euros!
There you have it, my complete guide to Skiathos Island! Stay tuned for my next post for the island of Lefkada!! Enjoy your summer loves! xxx
