Greek Isles off the beaten path…

I’ve thought about writing so many times, but life interferes! This is my last trip report of my epic summer trip! We spent the last few days exploring the Greek Isles of Skopelos and Skiathos.

 We arrived at Skiathos and did a walking tour of the town, some shopping, and took a boat ride that evening.

A ferry is the only way to get to Skiathos, where we stayed at Theo Home Hotel, a charming place situated on a hilltop…

One mistake we made on Skiathos was not renting a car – the island is easy to navigate and using buses and taxis got old, but we were able to appreciate the views that way! We enjoyed Panormos and Kastani Beaches…I’ll let the pictures show the beauty of these beaches…

Another day we went to Agio Ioannis, where “Mamma Mia” was filmed, and it was just incredibly beautiful!

We ate at Agnanti Restaurant in the charming town of Glossa and enjoyed the view and food. My favorite food was a Greek salad – so very fresh and delicious, with loads of feta!

After ferrying back to Skiathos, we flew to Athens and spent the night near the airport. And I flew back Air France, business class, using 70,000 Delta points and costing $334, but only costing $134, since I used my Amex Platinum annual $200 credit! Here are some photos…
