Skiathos Holiday Reviews

As there is no mcdonalds or the likes it is not overrun by families or 18 - 30s so is ideal for couples wanting a nice relaxing holiday. Still plenty to see and do but it is seen at its best relaxing with a cold beer in one of the harbour front bars watching everybody else run around. Plenty of places to eat and drink on papdiamntis street and would sugest nicos for food and sims bar for a spot of live music.

The resort of Koukounaries cannot be faulted in my opinion. There is a beautiful long sandy beach,backed by pine trees, with other smaller, quieter beaches within walking distance. There is also a protected area with a beautiful lake. There are a number of good restaurants, but for nightlife, you need to get the bus into Skiathos Town. The bus service is brilliant, very reliable and it runs along the coastline, with stops at different resorts, the first stop being Skiathos Town, the last stop being Koukounaries.

A great place to stay as long as you do not need a lot of night life,you may need to travel into Skiathos Town a couple of times and if you are staying two weeks rent one of the 4x4 jeeps for a couple of days to get to the secluded beaches.

This is beautiful area of Skiathos Island with the beautiful Koukounaires beach alongside others on offer to choose from. You will find plenty of water activities and other facilities available at Koukounaires beach iteself but be aware that the daily boat trips will leave tourists swarming the beach in the afternoons however, the neighbouring Maratha Beach is best suited to couples as there is one beach bar (only opening now) and there are no toilet facilities but you will enjoy some piece and quiet. We also hired scooters and went off around the coast (where the excellent bus service does not run) and found even more lovely beaches and views to take in. Be aware that the prices have gone up considerably with the current currency situation!

Very quiet, beaches quiet but a not amazing sand, some jelly fish in the water. Not many bars/restaurants.

Nice quiet resort with a few resturants scattered about the area, no real center but it works.The beach is not to large with loads of sunbeds but also space just to use your beach matts. Good transport by bus to Skiathos town cost of 1.8 euros. Local shops charge a lot more than in the town like £1.50 for milk and a loaf of bread and a small loaf at that costs £2.50.

Resort quiet but not too quiet - just right for couples. Bus service takes you around the island very good. Restaurants are very good - not too many, but enough to eat in different one every night of our holiday.

excellent resort would certainly recommend it. friendly people great food and plenty of beaches. harbour is really lovely. the boat trip to skopolos was one of the best i have been on.

It is the resort to go to for peace and quiet, get away from Town and all the bustle that goes with it. Troulos and Agia Paraskevi are just, in my opinion, a main road with buildings placed eratically with no character. As it is located at bus stop 12 it is almost exactly half way from Town and from Koukounaries so is the ideal spot to base yourself to explore.

It's true there isn't a huge choice of restaurants but you get to know the people better when you go somewhere more than once and the food was good so we wanted to go back.

There are a number of good tavernas aceessible from the beaches which serve excellent food. The water taxi provides an easy link to Skiathos Town where there are plenty of restaurants, tourist shops and nightclubs.

The resort of Troulos was a bit quieter than we were led to believe but It didn't matter as we hired a jeep to go off road to SO many beaches and up into the mountains.On our last evening we went to the SPORTS BAR and we heard 4 girls singing all holiday makers but they sang a few songs together and they were 1st class well done girls ! I also lost my jacket there so not well done me :-( !

A nice clean resort placed exactly half way along the bus route. The beaches are all very tidy and clean and the locals friendly and helpful. There are numerous places to eat and drink with prices being average throughout the resort. On the whole a good resort with something for everyone.

Aghia Paraskevi is bus stop number 16 just over halfway along the bus route. It has a long sandy beach with other beaches within walking distance. There are a couple of supermarkets and a couple of other shops and plently of places to eat and drink. We didn't have a bad meal or service anywhere and the prices were pretty much the same. When we return to Skiathos I would stay here again.

I loved it here, right in the middle of the island. Quiet enough to chill and relax (we went very early in the seson) but enough restaurants to keep you happy if you don't fancy going into town (only 15mins on bus). Liked the beach outside the Princess hotel the best though Koolios beach was lovely too but no facilities. The main road might be a bit dodgy to walk along if you have kids (no pavement). Apart from that i thought this area was fantastic and would highly recommend it and Skiathos overall.

this hotel is placed on the main road if you can call it that. Koukounaries is a beautiful area of Skiathos it has one of the best beaches in the world and it deserves the honour.
