Skiathos Useful
Info
Health Care
British and other E.U. nationals are officially entitled to free medical
care in Greece upon presentation of an E111 form. "Free", however, means
admittance only to state hospital, and does not include nursing care,
special tests or the cost of medication. If you need prolonged medical care,
you should make use of private treatment. There are English speaking GPs in
Skiathos, whose rates are reasonable. Ask your hotel or tourist office for
details.
Pharmacies: Greek pharmacies offer an extremely sensible alternative for day
to day problems other than finding a doctor. In all simple first aid matters
they provide an excellent service. Easily recognized by THE GREEN CROSS
symbol they are open during normal business hours. A roster in English and
Greek is posted in every pharmacy advising you of the duty pharmacy which
can be used outside these hours. Most staff speaks English and the medicines
are of the same high standard as other Western countries.

Post Office
Local post office is open 8:00-14:00 Monday to Friday and is situated on
Papadiamantis main street.
Air mail letters take up to seven days to reach the rest of Europe. For a
simple letter or card, a stamp (grammatosimo) can also be purchased at the
kiosks in Skiathos town. Make sure you know how much it costs to send a
letter or postcard, though, as kiosk owners tend not to be up to date with
the latest international postal rates. You can also drop your mail in the
yellow post boxes around Skiathos town. Parcels sent abroad must be
inspected, so don't wrap and seal them beforehand.
Banks
In general, opening hours are 8:00– 14:30 Monday to Thursday (or to 14:00 on
Friday). All of them have exchange cashpoints providing an automated 24-hour
service. You can cash traveller's cheques in all Skiathos banks, but don't
forget to have your passport with you as identification is necessary for the
transaction. Bureau de Change have much more longer opening hours than
banks.
Shops
Shops are open from 09.00-14.00 and again from 17.30 until late. However
some shops stay open all day during high season.
