Hi,
I've been going to Skiathos for many years about 5 times back to the late 80s.
1. and 2. There is no village at Troulos, the only village on Skiathos is Skiathos town. The Troulos Bay is about 5 min walk to the main road bus stop 20 where there is a scattering of restaurants the odd bar/tourist shops/small mini markets and the usual tourist facilities. Basically between bus stops 18-20. The 'centre' such as it is the road junction at bus stop 18.
3. and 4. Taxis are double tariff after I think 24:00. Taxis should be about 10 Euros/10 min - long queues for taxis and buses around 24:00 in Skiathos town. There are buses to/from Skiathos town up until about 24:00 in September, it's seasonal, changes just about every week, so look at the timetable, legendarily packed at peak times.
5. Nearest ATMs Banks are in Skiathos town.
The weird references to bus stop numbers are because the south coast road from Skiathos town harbour(0) to Koukounaries(26) is a continuous ribbon and it's difficult to know exactly where you are.
I think this is the latest numbering:

A good option is to rent a motorbike or pedibikes. Distances in Skiathos are quite short. It is possible that some big hotels are hosting ATMs. If your stay is quite long, you can visit also the neighbouring islands Skopelos and Alonnisos as well as the Marine Park of Sporades. Check the pages in VT about the above islands.

The island’s traditional architecture,does not have a severe island character.On the other hand,it is a combination of a traditional village in Greece and an island village,with neoclassical elements. Influenced by the attitude and the needs of the local people,local architecture is one of a kind and will undoubtedly cast a spell on you.
With small white houses in their majority,built close to each other you will feel the hospitality of the island taking over you from the minute you step on the island .Built of stone with external whitewashed walls,the local houses will amaze you.The narrow streets,the corners of the houses are cut in such a way so that walking through them is easier and at the same time they give you a sense of unforgettable hospitality.As far as the fashion tradition goes,be aware that a hundred and twenty years ago,everybody in Skiathos,men and women were wearing the local,traditional clothes but nowadays we could say that fashion is totally updated.The rich cultural background of the island is obvious in every corner and will undoubtedly cast its spell on you.
