Visit the dog shelter. It is an hours walk from the bus stop at Troulos, 3.5 kilometer on a switchback road. Can get a taxi but please make sure they understand that you require a pick up later. We managed to get stranded, by our taxi driver.
This has been going for 12 plus years. We visited on our previous trip to the island 6 years ago. Then we walked a dog called Fraggle, and spoke to Helen (who runs the dog's home) and she had photo's of Fraggle who had been re-homed in Switzerland. Helen has photo's of all her re-homed dogs. This trip we walked Wilma, a cocker spaniel who was pregnant and whilst on the island for our 2 weeks she gave birth to 3 healthy puppies. I would just like to add that Edwina Currie has one of these dogs. Earing at Kalyves taverna. We had eaten there 6 years ago, and it has not changed. We had wonderful food, great company and we reccommended it to any one that asked.
We met a couple that were staying in Skiathos town, but had travelled to Troulos for the evening. They asked where they could eat the had "The Greek Feel" to it. Gave them directions etc. Two night's later we were back in the taverna and they were there. They had eaten every night in the taverna and travelled fro Skiathos Town each night, they loved it and thanked us for the reccommendation. What more can we say.
Kastro ruins
by centrope
Skiathos is not an ideal place for those searching for history. The island has been set apart from the main events during the antics, medieval time as well as the greek national movement in the 19the century. But there are some interesting points and places. Kastro ruins, medieval settlement that was abandoned in the early years of 19th century is probably the most prominent place. This settlement would not be considered as one of the immense historical values in Greece, but offers at least some touch of the past, as well as marvelous views toward the sea and mainland.

The island is rather cold in the winter, but it has a pleasant climate during the summer. The usual daytime air temperature is over 30 °C usually in July and August,but night temperature is lower. The water is warm during from July to September,but colder in the beginning of the season. You will not experience any rain phenomenon in Skiathos, since rain is very rare during the summer months, note that there is on average only one raining day in June and September and none in July and August.
