What our guests say
I wanted to thank you for your kind and warm welcome and attention during our entire stay, also from your side and the nice familly taking care of place. We had a lovely time here, and we will for sure recommend your location to anyone who want to visit the island. And why not, maybe we will also return in the next years.
A great vacation. 11/10. The accomodations were perfect. The staff was really pleasant and the owners treated us like we were family. Truly a vacation to remember. The beach, shops and restaurants were all within walking distance. The bus leading into town takes you there in 3 minutes. Our studio apartment fitted with a jacuzzi and a private garden literally makes you feel like you are within your own personal oasis. When we left we already booked for 2015. Maria and Georg, the owners, are the two most pleasant owners on the whole of Skiathos. A big hello to them from Ksenija and Emil from Switzerland.
We have very good memories from your place and who knows, maybe one day we will be back.
Your moral support was extraordinary and I appreciate it so much. You were a wonderful host for us and so much more than that. Thank you also for a great lesson of generosity that I have learnt from you. We had a great time in Skiathos and it was one of the best holidays we have ever had.

It was my first time in Greece and it was lovely Skiathos, recommended by my friends who know Greece. If you really want to have a good rest, it is the right place, wonderful nature, pine tree forests, beautiful mountains, very clean air, what is important no so crowdy, so far... I hope it will remain being a paradise. What is very important-very nice and cordial people, we got many new friends in Skiathos. We are happy to make friends with Maria, thank you! Everything great! About our vacation: we were in Skiathos in July 2014 with the family with our daughter. We really liked the villa: the location in the woods, beautiful air, Koukounaries Beach 15 minutes walk to the nearby beaches 30-40 minutes, many beaches at your choice, there is a good infrastructure of supermarkets and taverns within walking distance, to the city center 30 minutes by the bus, which runs every 15 minutes. Friendly staff. Attentive and welcoming Maria, who is also a very interesting personality, an artist, she decorated the villa with a great taste, there also Maria's painting in the city harbour, you will not miss it. There is a playground and some garden around the villa and my daughter got great international experience playing with kids from other countries. I recommend Villa Driades in Koukounaries, Skiathos, Greece, a very close to culturally and mentally. Have great time at Skiathos! Konstantin, Moscow, Russia.

Skiathos Island
Skiathos island is specially lighted.
It bred many intellectuals and made its own history during the Ottoman rule with its boat yards, its hundred and ten sailing ships and its monasteries.
A hermitage and base of operations at the same time, Skiathos contributed to the cultural history of modern Greece with Alexandros Papadiamandis, Alexandros Moraitidis and other eminent intellectuals and scientists.
Greetings - Note
Since the right to development is the criterion for respecting all other human rights, we, in the Municipality of Skiathos, thought, that this must be the aim we should try to achieve.
For that reason, we founded an organization through which all people will have the chance to maximize all their capabilities, being able in this way to contribute to the evolution of the society as a whole. Thus, in 1993 the Developmental Company of the Municipality of Skiathos was founded.
Skiathos literary Men
Alexandros Papadiamandis "The poet of prose" according Kostis Palamas, is aggregated among the most distinguished Greek writers of modern Greece.
He was born in March 4, 1851, in Skiathos, and died there, too. His deep love for his homeland, God and humans is most obvious in his work in general. Hundreds of articles and studies have been written for his work.
Skiathos Castle
The island's medieval town used to live in the Castle. It is located in the north foot of Skiathos. It is a 3 hour walking distance or 1,5 hour by boat. It is the most remarkable location of Skiathos not only because of its history but also its natural beauty.
Skiathos History
Skiathos history is deeply rooted within the centuries and its origins go back in the prehistoric era. The beauty of the environment, the safe and wide port which is secured by four small islands, its fertile land, and its marine wealth made it a pole of attraction for the races that were emigrating during the prehistoric era.
Tour in Skiathos
When leaving the town behind, we take the regional street that leads to the south-east side of the island, to Koukounaries. The street extends along the coastal area. The view is splendid.
On the left there is the sea, the offshore islands, boats that come and go, ketches that transfer the visitors at the beaches, marine sports that draw splendid shapes on the waves. Hotels and taverns of unique aesthetics, magnificent premises call on the visitors.
Skiathos hinterland
Skiathos hinterland, though different from the coastal part of the island reveals an equally interesting aspect. Here, the splendid natural landscape dominates, with the monasteries to be the main sightseeing. This magnificent part of the island is worth visiting too.
Wetland and Woodland of Koukounaries
Skiathos is the westernmost island of the group of Northern Sporades which is located to the north-east of Evvoia island and comprises the eastern part of the prefecture of Magnisia. The total surface of the island is 47 Km2 and the predominate climate is temperate mediterranean with an annual rainfall of about 600 mm. The whole island is being protected as an “aesthetic forest “ since 1977.
