  • In the second part of the series we explore Troulos.
    This was our first experience of Troulos and got a feel of the resort.
    We also made our way to the beautiful beach, walking through the Troulos Bay Hotel.
    We sampled one of the local Gyros establishments and later ate at the Nectar & Ambrosia restaurant on the main street. We gave our honest opinion on the food and restaurant.

    Awww man brings back such good memories of the island 😍. We never tried Troulos beach our favourite was Mandraki if you guys ever got to go? Coz of the storms last week it was too wavey and lots of sea weed got swept up 🥺.
    Also we noticed a woman with her 🍉 out on the beach 😂. We came from Ibiza in July it was awful for that 🤦🏼‍♂️.
    We love the food in Skiathos all prices are good did you like the gyros at the nimo place? We’re veggies and that was the 3rd one we tried but they’re all slightly different. Good Vlog 🙌🏼

    • @continentalcoxons
      @continentalcoxons  Před 2 lety +1

      We've never had time to get to Mandraki beach. The weather has been well and truly scuppered with the weather, those 3 days really put a dent in our plans. I hope people are enjoying what they see though and what I have left to put together in future content from Skiathos.

      @JamesandElliesAdventures Před 2 lety +1

      Yeah it’s one of the best we’ve seen for Skiathos 🙂 thats a shame I don’t think Mandraki will be good now for the rest of your trip stick to the others I think. I can’t believe the weather got better on the day we left on Saturday 😞 here today is like 18 and cloudy it’s reverse.
      The weather was crap we got drenched we had a quad bike for the week and on Thursday we went over to Skopelos absolutely drenched but we had a pukka day though half of it dressed as bright traffic cones with ponchos on 😂.

    • @continentalcoxons
      @continentalcoxons  Před 2 lety +1

      Not too sure, we never usually book that far in advance unless we are going somewhere far flung. Usually only book about a month before when heading to Greece etc.
      I would say the best food we had was at Nectar & Ambrosia in Troulos. Ate there a few times and was fantastic both times. There are so many good places to eat though.

      Temperature is usually in the mid 20's I'd say although we had a bit of bad weather when we were there. I think it can be a bit changeable at that time of year.
      Trpulos is a lovely resort, nice a quiet but plenty to keep you going. Excellent restaurants and the beach is lovely too.
