Skopelos...


Our final stop on our trip around the island was in the main city, also called Skopelos; while this island is larger than Skiathos, it is less inhabited at just under 5,000 permanent residents. We invited Diamantis to join us for lunch, where we again shared many mezes (appetizers). The men ordered the local ouzo, which each came with a meze (if only Diamantis had warned us before we ordered) and the neighboring table shared some birthday cake, so it was a huge meal. On the return trip across the choppy sea, Diamantis went out of the way to locate some dolphins. Our girls had never seen dolphins in the wild and were just thrilled--the perfect ending to a great day.
