Skiathos town evening tour with local liqueur tasting
Are you ready to fall in love with the charm and character of Skiathos Town on this laid-back town walk? We'll kick things off by wandering along Papadiamantis Street – the heart of the town, packed with shops, cafés and everyday local life. From there, we'll stroll up to the Church of the Three Hierarches, a striking slice of island history. Vasilis, one of our expert guides, says, ‘Only a few steps from the centre of town are hidden corners, with beautiful churches and peaceful cobbled streets. Skiathos played a hugely symbolic role in Greece's fight for independence – our first flag was raised here in 1807.'Next, we'll swing by the Skiathitiko Spiti – an old home-turned-museum where you'll get a feel for how islanders lived back in the day. After a nose around, we'll sip a little local liqueur made by the owner – trust us, it's a treat. Then it's on to the maze-like Plakes quarter, with its narrow lanes and timeworn houses, bright splashes of bougainvillea and classic blue shutters. Limnia is next, where you'll have the chance to pop into either Panagia Limnia or the Holy Trinity Church – both full of stories and island spirit.We'll follow a coastal path down to the Old Port, soaking up the sea views before heading back towards the start. But not before one final stop – the House of Alexandros Papadiamantis, one of Greece's literary legends. Just next door is Café Nostalgos – said to be his old haunt – where we'll wrap up the tour with a drink and some dreamy views.
