Flavors Of The Sporades Island Of Skiathos

Aww beautiful Skiathos how much I miss you. I had the opportunity to work at a Spanish Restaurant as the sous chef on this island. Skiathos offers a variety of wonderful foods, wines, beaches, nightlife, and much more.
I included one of my favorite Greek dishes, Gemista (stuffed peppers).
