Skiathos 370 02, Greece 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.

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.

Great experience! We loved walking the dogs and everyone was wonderful! The cooking demonstration was excellent and the food was delish! Wish we got a copy of the recipes.

A fantastic experience and would definitely recommend. Michael was a great and humorous tour guide and it was such a bonus being collected and dropped off again to do the experience.
The dogs were beautiful and the shelter staff were really inspiring and lovely.
The cooking demonstration and lunch afterwards was brilliant. We learnt how to make a 4 course dinner and Maria was again so lovely and warm. Well done all involved for a great day.
