"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."
