This is where you will hear it first – for instance no more parking above Stafilos beach next year. By the time you come back in 2010 there will be another taverna – rented by the same guy who has the other one above the beach, same food, same music and loads, and loads of congestion. You really would think that somebody could get an act together.

A real supermarket on Skopelos – at last. First impressions were pretty good – they’ve managed to get a lot of produce in what, for a supermarket, is not a great deal of space, but there is good choice of most  – which makes a pleasant change. And of course the prices look attractive !
