"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."

holiday
The most important thing you need for your holiday

Under 18s go FREE
Because we care and understand that holidays alone can become quite expensive, we'll give you free cover for the members of the family who are possibly more accident prone - the young ones.
We offer single-trip and annual multi-trip policies, both with a range of options such as winter sports, golf, weddings, business and hazardous activity cover. All our policies also include cover for pre-existing medical conditions.
Our travel insurance can even help if any suppliers of each individual part of your holiday go bust. Our cover includes End Supplier Failure Cover, with Scheduled Airline Failure Cover (SAFI Cover) meaning you'll have complete protection.
Here at Holiday Extras we only use UK-based call centres and we provide a 24-hour emergency helpline. So no matter what, you'll always be able to speak to one of our friendly insurance consultants.
