“This has been a very good year for Skiathos. Despite the overall recession, we’ve managed to achieve and surpass our goals, attracting tourists mainly from the UK, Scandinavian countries, Italy, Greece and the Balkans,” Mr Diolettas said.

Besides promoting Skiathos’ tourism options, members of the committee also met up with hosted buyers from Europe, the Balkans and Turkey to talk business.

In the meantime, in tune with the season, the Skiathos Cultural Society joined the Skiathos Club in sister city Newport in the US via Skype for their annual Christmas carol event.
