Gorgeous House Exclusive Location
This house is gorgeous! Very private, incredible view and equipped with all you need. We highly recommend it- also with kids! Just a short walk from the village. You need a car to get to the nice beaches and see the whole island!

Hillside hideaway in Skiathos
We had a very good stay at Steve and Fiona’s place. They were kind, helpful, and flexible, especially with the check-in process, which made everything much easier. They even waited for us after our flight to personally show us the way to the accommodation, which we really appreciated. The place was clean and just as described. Future guests should note that parking isn’t right at the property because of the steep, rocky road, so there’s a short walk involved. That said, Steve and Fiona kindly helped us with our luggage. The location has lovely views, and the neighborhood is quite peaceful, with just the occasional sound of a barking dog. Overall, a pleasant and comfortable experience.

Villa Helidonia - Arkos
We had a wonderful stay at Marc's place in Skiathos. The apartment is modern, spacious and the view from the apartment and terrace is truly amazing. Furthermore it is located close to Skiathos town but we recommend renting scooters or car for the sake of convenience. Marc is a super helpful, hospitable and nice host who went beyond his means to make us feel welcome and accommodated. Our warmest recommendations!

Villa Jasmine - Attractively holiday house
Dimitris was such a helpful host from start to finish! Always quick to respond and provided some useful information about things to do/see whilst on the Island. Unfortunately due to the time or year/season we had some issues with insects around the property. However, Dimitris was quick to respond and organised a solution which fixed the problem. Beautiful villa, beautiful sunsets and surroundings. You feel like you’re in your own little oasis! Could not recommend Dimitris more as a host and would definitely come back to Villa Jasmine. Thank you for a lovely stay :)

Skopelos Island Home, Steps From the Sea!
Christina (Jane & Stavros), we’re great hosts! Staying in the beach house was very nice and our Kids felt like staying at home from the First day! The Location so close to the sea (50 meters) and the „private“ tavern with awesome food next to the house were perfect. You can find anything you need in the house and the outdoor space is huge. A supermarket you can find 2 minutes away. The contact/communication via WhatsApp and phone was perfect and very helpful! Only the combination Moskitos and the high temperature was not so easy to manage. But we came along with that and had a great stay! Thank you 😁😎

Paradise on a Budget, Private Beach (7)
Lovely clean apartment with everything you need. Paris was waiting for us when we arrived late in the evening and he had made us a lovely hearty meal which was delicious and so welcoming after a long day travelling. Paris is always on hand if needed with a smile and a great sense of humour. We enjoyed a swim at the private beach first thing every morning and then breakfast on the sunny patio overlooking the sea, it really is beautiful place. Our room was cleaned every day, we slept well in the comfy bed and the air conditioning was a blessing at night. I would definitely recommend Paris House and we shall definitely be coming back.

Exceptional

Your guide to Skiathos
All About Skiathos
As the most visited of the Sporades Greek islands, Skiathos is known as one of the treasures of the Aegean Sea. The westernmost island of the bunch is home to a generous smattering of greenery (fig, olive, plum, and almond trees all grow here) over craggy cliffs and more than 50 beautiful beaches that have attracted visitors from all over the world, and even Hollywood filmmakers to its shores.
The town of Skiathos is the jewel in the island’s crown, with its romantic, old marina and narrow, cobbled back alleys. In summer this is a great spot to enjoy the nightlife, with famous DJs dropping in to whip up excitement in the local bars. By day you can take your pick from a number of watery pursuits all over the island — boating, swimming, watersports, and scuba diving. For a trip off the beaten track, there are also boat trips to the island’s less accessible beaches and coves.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Skiathos
Being situated fairly far north in the Aegean Sea means that Skiathos has a slightly shorter summer season than other Greek islands, with its hot days concentrated between June and mid-September — although you can expect up to 15 hours of sunshine a day at this time of year. Book a Skiathos apartment on either side of the high season and you’ll have the island more to yourself, although you’re likely to find the evenings a little cooler. November is an important month, when locals hold one of the two festivals celebrating the Virgin Mary at the island’s monastery of Panagia Kounistria (the other festival is in July). But for real, authentic, local fun, come at the height of low season — late February — when it’s Carnival time in Greece.
Top things to do in Skiathos
Medieval Monuments
Learn about the history of the island through its monuments. From Skiathos’ town you can visit the medieval ruins of Bourtzi Fortress that separate the old and new harbour. For insight into the Greek life of old, stop by Papadiamantis House Museum and discover the way things were at the turn of the 20th century. A visit to the island’s famous Byzantine castle in the north is worth the trip for the views alone.
Sea Caves
The bay at Lalaria is home to the island’s two most photographed sea caves. Skotini Spilia is known as the Dark Cave because of its deep rock pool and low entrance, accessible only by swimmers and small boats. Galázia Spiliá (Blue Cave) is a much larger cave, sunlit through its entrance to create a beautiful, midnight-blue colour. There are even more sea caves to explore at Strofilia Lagoon near Koukounaries Beach, so you’ll have plenty to choose from when it comes to water-bound activities.
Skiathos Beaches
When seeking somewhere to lay your towel, take your pick from the shallow waters and sandy shores of Koukounaries or the wilder coves on the north of the island. Koukounaries, Banana Beach, Troulos, and Vromolimnos are all favourite spots for watersports. For more secluded sands, Kanapitsa is quieter, while Lalaria Beach is inaccessible by road but is a favourite stop on island boat trips. The neighbouring islets of Tsougrias make great day trips by boat as well.
