First night of our holiday (and we’re so grateful to be here in Skiathos - really well looked after from the moment we stepped off the plane. Sod off COVID-19) What a great start. Maria’s Calma salad starter that we shared was to die for...smokey bacon flavour throughout, deep fried and delicious cheese straws and a wonderful rich, creamy dressing.
