Skiathos...

Last monday we were left alone with our two grandchildren by our daughter and son in law. They just said: - Sorry, we have to leave for Skiathos early tomorrow morning.
- Why?
- Vacation, what else...?
- For how long?
- A week or so...?
- OK...
Really, it wasn´t that dramatic. We were already prepared...

Skiathos seems like a beautiful island! As a matter of fact I´ve never heard of the place before. Inspite of my previous experiences. On the other hand, who can blame me? In Greece there are thousands of islands!
Their hotel entrance doesn´t look that bad.
They are travelling together with their two best friends and neighbours. One of them is a bit scared of flying.
The runway at Skiathos is just about 1588 meters long and you are allowed to, surprisingly enough in these times, stand very near the threshold with all landing aircrafts a few meters over your head.
And the Island is just a little bit bigger. However, the airport name is longer: Skiathos Alexandros Papadiamandidis Airport...
