What To Expect

In the midst of the lush hills on the island of Skiathos a group of volunteers have created a haven for stray dogs that are looking for their forever homes. To give the dogs a safe place and a location, that would provide both cool winds during hot summer days, privacy and calmness in the evenings. The local monastery (Evangelistria), has offered a piece of land out of town the Islands Landfill site.

Great day out , the dog shelter is very well run and organised . The dogs are very well cared for and were so excited to go for a walk. We really enjoyed it . They are very grateful of a donation , we took food and put money in the pot. Maria's cookery lesson and lunch was fabulous, she showed us how to cook 3 courses , then we got to eat them. Absolutely delicious. We would highly recommend this trip.

Well organized and a great way to help the local shelter pups. The staff are so dedicated and truly love all of the dogs. The cooking class by Maria was so much fun and the food was delicious. A really lovely way to spend a few hours in Skiathos.

Although it says hike it is about 30 minute walk. Well worth doing, Sarah and team are doing an amazing job.
