"There's a cocktail bar on Skopelos in the Aegean that must be counted as one of the best in Greece, if not the western world. The trouble is that I've never been able to remember its name, probably because I have too many of their world-class margaritas. Anyway, you can't miss it at night, when you'll see a patch of green light at the top of the cliff at the end of the harbour, next to the town hall. Walk up the flights of very steep stairs and reward yourself with breathtaking views of one of Greece's prettiest harbours... and a margarita or two. At 10 Euros they're not cheap, but they're worth every cent."
Airport parking before you fly to Skopelos
Mamma Mia! What a beautiful Greek island
Home to the film Mamma Mia! and revisited by many holiday makers year after year, Skopelos is the largest of the Northern Sporades islands just east of mainland Greece. Although the island itself has no airport, you can fly to nearby Skiathos airport from most UK airports.
Don't forget your parking in all your excitement
And don't forget to book it through the UK market leader - Holiday Extras. We offer discounted airport parking at 26 UK airports. We're so confident our prices won't be beaten we've even got a Best Price Guarantee. Don't delay, pre-book your airport parking today.
Airport parking - options available to you
On-airport parking: These car parks are within the airport grounds, so transfers to and from the terminal are quick.
Off-airport parking: Normally less expensive than on-airport parking, off-airport car parks are outside the airport grounds but won't be more than a few miles away. Transfers are usually included for free or at a reduced rate.
Meet and Greet parking: It does what it says on the tin. You'll be met at the terminal by a chauffeur, they'll take your car and park it safely and securely while you're on holiday and then they'll meet you on your return with your car.
It doesn't stop there, we also offer parking upgrades too. You can have your car cleaned while you're away, have it brought back to the terminal when you return, or for just £1 we'll text you traffic updates and shopping discounts for up to four hours before you fly.
