Not sure of the state of the roads outside town but the coast road is open.
We saw 2 Jet2 flights coming in last night and 1TUI.
We are due to depart this evening (TUI) and we have been emailed our pick up details.
Much more was open yesterday in Skiathos Town than on Wednesday.
It's a fine day today.
I just would hate to get there and the island not be in a state for accommodating guests.
Passed a bus headed to Koukenaries on our way to the airport.
Sorry - no idea what hotels are like further out of town or what state beaches are in.
Read the link in my post above. I think that mentions clean up of beaches.1 -

I know people have been posting on there about damage. Somebody may be able to tell you about your hotel.
Good luck.
We are home, flight on time, TUI provided free toasties, snack and soft drink.
Both JET2 flights (not sure of destination) were slightly delayed.
