Location Overview
The only town on the island and a thriving cosmopolitan centre, Skiathos Town can accommodate all tastes. The town has a population of about 7,000 and is very attractive, with its jumble of red-roofed houses and climbing stone-paved streets. During the day the town can appear somewhat sleepy but in the evenings the waterfront hums with life and one is confronted with a daunting array of restaurants, cafe bars and tavernas. Nightlife could mean a quiet cafe, a lively bar or an up-to-the minute music club. Mama Mia movie was filmed there. Fast catamarans link Skiathos Port with Skopelos and Alonissos, water taxis provide transport to a variety of sandy beaches and excursions available include a good selection of boat trips.

After a bit of confusion locating the villa, we were met by our host with a very big welcome. We were shown around the villa and given contact details in case of any problems. Overall the villa met our expectations and we hada very nice and relaxing stay. Our host checked in regularly with us, and even made us some unexpected treats. I would recommend staying here if you don't mind a bit of noise from the airport, this was fine for us, as plane spotting was a big part of our trip, an updated on the directions to the villa would help future visitors. Thanks for a great stay.

Very Welcoming and Comfortable Home
We loved our stay and enjoyed spending time in the garden under the olive trees. Eleni was a delight. She welcomed us with a homemade delicious nut bread and surprised us one day with a yummy pasta dish that we all shared. Upon leaving, she made us an almond bread that we appreciated so much! We went to the local grocery and prepared many meals at the house and dined on the porch. It was always so nice to come home after a long day at the beach or just exploring Skiathos. We would definitely stay at this comfortable and welcoming property again.

Sehr gut
Das Haus liegt nahe der Runway, aber das weiß man schon beim Buchen. Mich hat's nicht gestört, im Gegenteil. Das Haus ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und es ist alles da. Die Besitzerin Eleni ist ausgesprochen nett und unkompliziert. Uns hat es sehr gefallen

Con tutti i confort
Siamo stati nella casa 10 giorni, 2 coppie e un bimbo di 4 anni, e ci siamo trovati bene nonostante qualche timore iniziale per via della vicinanza con la pista di atterraggio, ciò nonostante si riesce a riposare tranquillamente anche perchè il traffico aereo sull'isola è ridotto ed è consentito dalle 6 alle 22. La proprietaria risiede in una casa adiacente ed è molto gentile. Le pulizie vengono effettuate più spesso del previsto con cambio di asciugamani e lenzuola. Nel terrazzino esterno abbiamo fatto la colazione e l'aperitivo rinfrescati dal vento. C'è anche il posto auto interno.
