Best Hotels in Skiathos

Hotel Esperides

Sat on the golden sands of Achladies Beach, the Hotel Esperides is peaceful yet perfectly located for exploring the island. The neat gardens contrast the surrounding hills, covered in dense pine trees. You’ll have gorgeous views over the gardens or the Aegean Sea, thanks to balconies in every room. The U-shaped pool hugs a sun terrace with comfy sun-beds, and you can enjoy your meals in a stylish restaurant on site. There’s also a massage spa and a tennis court.

Ariadni

The Ariadni offers peaceful vibes with fantastic facilities. While it feels as though you’re a million miles from the real world, you’re only a 10-minute walk to Platanias Beach and 15 minutes by bus into Skiathos Town. There’s a big pool with a separate area for children, and an all-day bar nestled into one corner. If you don’t fancy cooking every night, you can take advantage of the delicious Grecian dishes served up at the pool bar.

Magda Studios and Apartments

With a 10-minute walk from pool to beach, you can’t go wrong staying at the Magda Studios and Apartments. The laid-back complex is a great base if you plan on soaking up the sun at the beach or exploring the island. The nearest bars, shops and restaurants are only a 15-minute walk away, while 20 minutes on the bus takes you into the heart of Skiathos Town. The quiet pool is the focal point of the grounds. It’s close to the forest, so even when it’s boiling hot, you’ll still get a cool breeze.

Zorbas Studios and Apartments

There’s no shortage of returning guests to the stellar Zorbas Studios and Apartments. The great food and unrivalled views keep people coming back year after year. As the accommodation is set above the coastal road, you’ll have panoramic views over the gently curving bay. When you want to head to the sea, it’s only a 10-minute walk. The infinity pool has a background of rolling countryside and gentle hills, or you can admire the view while sipping a drink at the bar.

Astoria Hotel

The Astoria Hotel is in a great location for getting around Skiathos, taking in the sights and enjoying the beach. There’s a sandy beach under five minutes away, with a few tavernas on route. There’s a bus stop just outside, making it easy to get to Skiathos Town and towns further afield. The hotel pool has a selection of sun-loungers, with tall trees giving a good amount of shade. The food is good – though the bar’s cocktail selection is the highlight.

Nina Areti

At the Nina Areti, you’ll see everything that makes Skiathos such a popular destination, like it’s tumbling hillsides to the bright Aegean Sea. You can walk to Agia Paraskevi, Troulos and Platanias within 15 minutes, offering a wide variety of bars and restaurants. The beaches are even closer! The pool has impressive views, looking out over the green hills to the sea below.

Villa Maria Apartments

The Villa Maria Apartments are about enjoying the laid-back pace of Grecian life. In a secluded spot among sweet-smelling pine trees, it’s hard to believe you can walk into the town centre in 15 minutes and the beach in 20. There’s no noisy entertainment or bustling activities roster here. Enjoy a chilled-out pool area with a nearby bar instead. For children, there’s a separate pool area which is in eyeshot of the sun terrace.
