DESTINATIONS SKIATHOS GREECE & CYPRUS
90-minute body wrap and facial ritual, based on the rejuvenating properties of the pine trees abundant nearby. You can also embrace the best of the sea with an Elemis ocean wrap using seaweed (€110 for 75 minutes).
OUT ON THE TOWN Skiathos town has an enjoyable cosmopolitan charm thanks to its port, and although boats might be heading out to the other Sporades islands, it’s worth sticking around to explore the town itself. It’s easy to while away a few
hours exploring the maze of colourful side streets filled with ceramics, jewellery shops and artists’ studios, or people watching from one of the pavement bars. Just out of town, the Evangelistria
Monastery dates from the 18th century and rewards visitors with spectacular views from its tranquil grounds. Minibuses depart regularly from the port for the two-and-a-half- mile journey.

EATING OUT While its waterfront teems with nautical life, Skiathos town’s culinary scene is just as vibrant, ranging from fast food to smart tavernas. We discovered that to blend in with the locals, it’s best to order a feast to share between a group – and don’t be shy with the number of dishes either.
The Borzoi offers global cuisine away
from the crowds, in a stylish, white courtyard. The restaurant doubles as a club and has a creative cocktail menu. If you fancy something a little fiery, try the Parmella, resident mixologist Arnaud’s signature concoction. With Tabasco sauce, tequila, agave nectar and celery bitters, it certainly packs a punch.
