Post

The Skiathos Post Office is located on the top of Papadiamantis Street, opposite the high school, and has a yellow sign with the letters: "ΤΑΧΥΔΡΟΜΕΙΟΝ" (tahidromio).

It is open from 7:30 until 14:30 Monday to Friday and shut all week end.

Stamps can often be purchased from tourist shops, supermarkets and kiosks.

You may find that your cards arrive home after you do, but this is part of the charm of Greece!

Telephone

The OTE ("otay") telephone office is located half way up Papadiamantis Street on the right hand side.

There is direct trunk dialing to anywhere in the world and you must dial "00" followed by the land number of the country you are phoning.

You can purchase phone cards at the OTE or from kiosks and many supermarkets. There are lots of phone booths in the town and at most major junctions and bus stops on the main road.
