Home to some of the most beautiful beaches in Greece, Skiathos is the ideal summer holiday destination. Crystal clear blue waters gently lap golden sandy bays and charming white pebble covered coves, and with over 60 beaches to choose from you’re sure to find the perfect sun bathing spot. Hire a boat and visit the northern coast line, exploring some of the more private, secluded coves or visit the many beaches in the south of the island by hire car.

Leisure pursuits including cycling, walking and hiking trails offer a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the many hillside roads and tracks with some areas of the island covered with protected beautiful pine forests. For the water sport enthusiast, many beaches offer an array of activities including paragliding, banana and dingy rides, pedalos and water ski-ing to name a few.

For a true taste of typical Greek cuisine, head to one of the waterside tavernas in Skiathos town or to one of the traditional hillside village tavernas. Many offer the renowned Greek meze of either fish or meat - the traditional way of sampling all typical dishes in one sitting or try one of the classic Greek dishes of moussaka, pastitsio or kleftiko. Our Villas are situated within easy reach of Skaithos town, where guests can enjoy a variety of local and international cuisine, as well as a wide choice of bars and local coffee shops.
