RE: Greek Islands Thread
I was in Skiathos last week. I must say i was blown away by the quality of girls there. Out of this world and probably the best i've ever seen in my life. On the beach you'll spot 8 to 10's all over the place. Going out is the same (actually the same girls who you spot on the beach you will see in the clubs, small crowd).
Nevertheless, i would never recommend Skiathos as a destination if you want to go out and hit on girls.
The island is not cheap by any means (it wasn't for me as a "rich belgian", so i can imagine it certainly is not for "poor greeks"). What you will see is the upscale class of loaded greeks who all come in their social circle for holidays. Groups are always mixed boys&girls. I was with 2 male-friends, which made us 3 males and i didn't saw any other male-groups. Nor did i saw big female groups. You will see couples or 4-sets (or higher) consisting of 50/50 girls and boys.
Approaching is very, very hard due to a very closed social circle setting, mixed groups and attitude of the girls. Greek girls are treated as princesses by the guys (who are very macho and to be honest act very beta/stupid arround girls), hence they act as princesses. They are generally arrogant and very distant. I am not saying this is the case with all greek girls, but it's certainly a fact on Skiathos island. Girls look gorgeous but they know that and so they act.
Venues:
- Beaches, go to Banana beach, it's the hotspot for the young crowd. They have a bar on a little hill with an amazing view, it's called Bananistas who have a party between 6 and 10. Lots of girls, stunning, but very protected by guys (greek guys are huge cockblockers). To give an example: one day it was very calm due to bad wether. I approached the barwoman to chat her up and ask her some questions about the going out scene. 30 seconds into the conversation another guy came sitting next to me so to follow the convo and cockblock me. Insane.
- Clubs: there are 3 clubs next to the port, they are called Khallua, BBC and Pure. Not much difference between them, although Pure seems a bit more posh. Kahlua had the best vibe and a good party, again stunning girls, but almost impossible to approach. You'll get blown out immediately.
- Restaurants: don't go to the port, hit the road who connects Skiathos town with Koukounaries (there's only 1 big road so you can't miss it). Plenty of cheaper and better restaurants over there.
Conclusion: if you want relaxing, a wonderful setting, beaches, some party, go to Skiathos. If your goal is hitting on chicks and scoring, forget it. It can be good for the very experienced player who wants a challenge (and then again you'll have a very hard time), but it's certainly not for the average player. To be honest, in 6 days i did not see A SINGLE approach succeeding by guys in clubs, nor did i see a single make-out or even something that could lead to a make out. Social groups, thats it.
