What to expect

As well as sinking your teeth into Greece, this trip allows you to give something back to the island of Skiathos. Among the highlights are a visit to the island's dog shelter, a guided walk in the hills and a Greek cooking demonstration from a villager in Agia Paraskevi.

At the start of the day, you'll visit the famous dog shelter of Skiathos in the hills above Troulos. Spend time at the shelter and join our guide for a one-hour walk through the hills. Then it's on to Maria's place in Agia Paraskevi. Maria was born and bred in Skiathos and is passionate about cooking. All her dishes are passed down through the generations.

Once the food is cooked, you'll get to enjoy a tasty traditional Greek feast. Lunch will be served with wine, soft drinks and water.
