What to expect

As well as sinking your teeth into Greece, this trip allows you to give something back to the island of Skiathos. Among the highlights are a visit to the island's dog shelter, a guided walk in the hills and a Greek cooking demonstration from a villager in Agia Paraskevi.

At the start of the day, you'll visit the famous dog shelter of Skiathos in the hills above Troulos. Spend time at the shelter and join our guide for a one-hour walk through the hills. Then it's on to Maria's place in Agia Paraskevi. Maria was born and bred in Skiathos and is passionate about cooking. All her dishes are passed down through the generations.

Once the food is cooked, you'll get to enjoy a tasty traditional Greek feast. Lunch will be served with wine, soft drinks and water.

    A bit longer walking the dogs, we only got about 20 minutes, I know it was quite hot but another 10 to 14 minutes would have been better, apart from that it was a great trip, Mike our guide was very knowledgeable and funny at the same time, the people at the dog shelter were great and we got to meet the puppies after the walk. The Greek cooking demo with Maria was excellent and the food she served us for lunch was lovely, highly recommended

    Michael our guide was lovely & friendly. I loved the dog shelter & walking Kiki. Maria gave a fabulous demonstration & shared her journey on becoming a chef, providing for her family, her cooking menus & what fsmily means to her. The lunch was wonderful.

    The guide was excellent - the shelter itself well run and organised with friendly people - the dogs are obviously very well looked after and then we had a really lovely meal at the end - we couldn’t fault it

    Cookery demo and food amazing. Fresh salad, bread, feta pastry triangles, stuffed peppers and tomatoes and Greek yoghurt with preserved syrupy carrot topping (sounds strange but lovely). Bottle of water plus choice of wine, beer or soft drink. So much food. Very informative cooking demo from Maria. TUI guide very friendly too (Michael). Dog walk was good too - quite short but so it should be in this heat. Would recommend this excursion.

    We were travelling as a family of 5 from the ages of 12 to 57 and everyone had the most amazing day. From being picked up our guide Michael was welcoming, friendly and helpful. The dog walk was fabulous we all enjoyed our visit to the sanctuary. Maria’s cookery class was superb as was the food served afterwards. An all round great experience for everyone, thoroughly recommend.

    I bought a few excursions on the TUI app before I got to Skiathos. This was a mistake, because when I went to the rep meeting, I found out that there much better ones to do.

Eilandhoppen op zijn Grieks vanaf Skiathos

Tijdens deze eilandhoppen boottocht ontdekken je een aantal onbekende plekken van de Sporaden archipel. Je vaart naar het glamoureuze Skópelos, waar ze de musical Mamma Mia! hebben opgenomen - en naar het o zo rustige Alonissos.Eerst stap je aan boord voor een tocht naar het Sporades Marine Park naar het welige eiland Alonissos. In dit mariene gebied zijn de zeldzame soorten monniksrobben beschermd. Met een beetje geluk kun je vanaf de boot een blik opvangen van de gracieuze wezens. Op Alonissos krijg je 90 minuten vrij tijd. Strijk neer op het strand, maak een wandeling of ga op je gemak lunchen.Terwijl je op het water bent, legt de bemanning je helemaal in de watten. Denk aan een party aan boord met muziek, drankjes en veel dans. Je gaat helemaal los. Maar als je het liever rustiger aandoet, zijn er genoeg plekken aan boord waar je gewoon aan je kleurtje werkt. Wanneer je Skopelos bereikt, heb je wat vrije tijd om rond te dwalen in de pittoreske oude binnenstad. En voordat je terugkeert naar Skiathos, is er nog een korte stop bij het strand van Milia.
