Trade beach towels for pine trees on this culture-rich afternoon escape into Skiathos' hills. Begin at the Church of the Archangels with sweeping views and local legends, then make your way to the hidden Monastery of Evangelistria, where Greece's first flag was raised. Pause for Greek coffee and sweets, explore icons and relics in the museum, and wrap up with a glass of local wine in tranquil, history-soaked surroundings.

This trip was so interesting, made extra special by our guide, Michael who was absolutely brilliant and passionate about the tour. He was so knowledgeable and was quite eccentric and this just made the trip. There was an issue with transport collecting us from hotel (I had to ring TUI as pickup time stated 3pm from hotel but they then informed me it was 3.30pm when in fact the message never actually got through to the guide so we were quite delayed leaving which was stressful).

Michael our Guide was really knowledgeable and friendly. 10 out of 10

Fantastic afternoon. great guide. Absolutely loved it!

I thought the trip was relaxed and informative.The guide Michael was amusing and full of knowledge.It was lovely to see more inside the interior of Skiathos and wondeeful views towards the sea. I would recommend this delightful cultural trip away from the crowds.

Michael the guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and with good sense of humour.
