There are many ways but the most convenient for Europeans is by charter flight to Skiathos (about three and a half hours), taxi to the harbour (5 mins), and hydrofoil to Skopelos (45 mins). UK flights are from Gatwick, Bristol or Manchester. THEY ARE VERY POPULAR AND FILL UP QUICKLY. Early booking is essential to avoid disappointment. Try www.charterflights.co.uk or your local travel agent will have details. Other options are UK charter flight to Volos ( half an hour to the port, two and a half hours by hydrofoil). Athens has many charter and scheduled flights from the UK Europe and Long-haul; there is a regular service by air conditioned bus to Aghios Konstantinos connecting with the hydrofoil - total journey about 6 hours.

We prefer to fly Gatwick - Thessaloniki, hire a car (visit other sites) and take the ferry from Volos.

Each season has its attractions in the Sporades - (the unheated pool is not open until late May). May and June can have the odd brief thunderstorm; temperatures climb into the 70/80's and the sea is warmer every day. July and August usually have no rain and temperatures are in the 80/90's. In September and October there are occasional storms but temperatures remain in the 70's and the sea is still warm.

Our clients usually rent a car from Maxi-Hire; Alexandros will meet you at the port if you can give exact details of arrival time - his office is nearby if not. Failing that we will provide a detailed map. Laundry changed weekly; pool checked twice per week. If you have any problems you can contact the Housekeeper. There are no hidden extras except for breakage's. Day of arrival occupation not before 15.00; day of departure by 10.00 am.

As far as the house is concerned, everything is provided for comfortable living. Towels are provided but these must not be taken from the house, so bring your own beach towels. Do not forget the snorkeling kit for the perfect clear waters; also bring a hat, plenty of sun cream, and enough light clothing for a complete cover up to avoid being badly sunburned. a jersey or light jacket is necessary as nights can be cool. REMEMBER YOUR DRIVING LICENCE. Mosquitoes are occasionally a nuisance. Plug-in appliances are provided but take your own preventive liquid and antihistamine cream. It is useful to have small rucksacks for carrying gear down to the beaches and for walking. Bring your own books for the beach (please do not take the books in the house out of the house),
