Ihada lovely week in Skiathos last year, and enjoyed it very much. We stayed in Skiathos Town, and I liked the culture of strolling around in the evening, just people-watching. We also got to see some traditional Greek dancing (a proper inter-island competition, not the "Greek night" stuff put on for tourists) in the open-air theatre up at the castle.

Glad you've had such a great time!

We got back from Haraki in Rhodes a week ago. Lovely little place, formerly just a fishing village, but even now small enough and quiet enough to be really relaxing. it's just a pretty, crescent-shaped bay with some small hotels, and a handful of tavernas, with the beach pretty much outside your door. VERY clear water, great for snorkelling. Beaches never over-crowded, and the tavernas compete for your sunbed custom - free drinks!

The thing I especially enjoyed was being able to go to Rhodes Old Town and the pretty little town of Lindos, so we mixed beach with some quality sightseeing. There are some really nice antiquities and ruins in Rhodes. The medieval Knights of St John (a very Templar-like order) left their mark on Rhodes, and there are long medieval streets and ruined castles and such, in addition to the ancient ruins. Very nice! Highly recommended!
