Skiathos

Electricity was gradually restored to the popular holiday destination of Skiathos on Saturday following a blackout on Friday night that had left parts of the island without power.

The rise in hotel prices at popular holiday destinations such as Myconos and Santorini is turning Greeks to alternative options again this summer. The average length of their vacations remains rather short as most disposable incomes are still particularly low, according to a survey and analysis by the Trivago website reflecting Greeks' online searches for this summer.

We might be in the middle of a cold winter in Greece, with snow, freezing temperatures and rainfalls, but this is the best period for the Brits to book the most affordable summer vacation packages. Travel Weekly site published its 10 top exotic beaches in Greece and Cyprus to help its readers make up their mind.

The Skiathos Hoteliers Union announced its promotional plan that is due to kick off in collaboration with the Municipality of Skiathos and consultants of the MTC Group of the business and tourism field.
