I'm so jealous. We spent a week there in may 2003, and what a fabulous island it is. Stayed in the Pleiades Studios just above the Harbour in Patatiri. It was very quiet, which is just what we loved about the place, but the lack of the local bus (which came off the ferry the day before we left) made us hire a motorbike for a few days, so we were able to find all those emty beaches. I have a little movie and a few pictures of Steli Maris beach completely deserted, which was stunning. The food - great - the place great - and you're right about the airport at Skiathos, what a trip that one is!!! Also spent a lot of time up at the Old Town, drinking and eating and getting a very good 'Taverna suntan'. Like El Greko I'd go back in the blink of an eye - it's such a laid back place.
