Where to eat
The Island is forever changing with new places popping up regularly, but we’ve pulled together a list of our favourite tavernas and bars. We’d strongly recommend getting yourself into the main town on an evening to explore and find your own favourites!
Tavernas
Grill House Koziakas
€€€
Old Port, Skiathos Town.
Traditional rotissarie, spit roast meats and salads situated in a bustling side street. It’s rustic. Meat + flame = tastyness.
Bourtzi
€€€
Bourtzi, Skiathos Town.
All day cafe-bar on the Bourtzi serving tapas style small plates, wines and cocktails with a beautiful view from the peninsula. Great at any time of day.
Paraxenos Restaurant (Dan’s Pick)
€€€€
Evaggelistrias 9, Skiathos Town.
A beautiful courtyard restaurant, serving elevated traditional dishes. Well worth a trip if you’re feeling a little fancy. Treat-yo-self.
The Final Step
€€€-€€€€
St Nikolas Square, Skiathos Town.
Enjoy modern mediterranean dishes, with magnificent views across the port. It’s a bit of a hike to get to but well worth it for the food and the view!
Taverna Jimmy’s
€€
Platanias.
Rustic traditional Greek dishes, in cosy surroundings. We once ordered cold garlic potato dip because we thought it was a mis-translation. It was cold mashed potato. It was surprisingly nice with a bit of pitta!
Platanias Taverna & Bar
€€-€€€
Platanias.
Family run taverna and bar serving traditional dishes with a focus on seafood.
Kechria Tarsanas Taverna (Dan’s Other Pick)
€€€
Kechria beach.
A unique restaurant with beautiful olive wood tables right on the beach, serving a variety of tasty dishes, beachside – a bit tricky to get to but well worth it!
Bars
Ginfish Cocktail Bar
€€
Old Port, Skiathos Town.
A lively cocktail bar in the Old Port. Sip your drink overlooking trip boats and the Bourtzi.
Tesla Cocktail Bar
€€
Papadiamantis Square, Skiathos Town.
Creative drinks and live music just off the main street in town. Expect to drink your cocktail from anything from a tiki-mug to a monkeys head. A bit weird, but good.
Danny & Zoe’s Blind Dog
€€
Papadiamanti, Evaggelistrias, Skiathos Town.
Danny & Zoe’s live music home on lovely Skiathos Island. Cool cocktails, tunes and the most beautiful blind dog around!
