There are many dangerous trends in our society. One of them is getting a tan with the help of baby oil.

Several women has been observed on Ayia Napa’s beaches with a bottle of Johnson’s Baby Oil by their side. Yes, they look delicious and bronzed. But it’s dangerous to fry their skin in that way.

To mix your regular tanning cream with some olive oil is a safer option to get a deep tan.

Another option is to eat plenty of Beta Carotene pills in the weeks leading up to your holiday.

An even more organic way to get a tan is to eat plenty of carrots!

What about Skiathos nightlife?

While there are plenty of busy bars and clubs on Skiathos, the nightlife is more understated than the 24 hour partying that goes on in Ayia Napa.  The holidaymaker demographic on the issland includes many families and older couples, and if the party scene is not for you it is entirely possible to visit, even in high season, without it intruding on your stay.

Still time to lie on the beach in early October.
