7. Saint George Villas & Apartments – Skiathos Town
This is a nice and spacious apartment with breathtaking views of the town, the port, the lake-wetland of Saint George and the airport. As the airport is relatively small and the flights are operated only during the day (and they start usually before 09.00) there is no issue with the noise. Very nice service from all staff and it is very clean. Just take into account that the villa is located on a hill and the walk up is quite steep, in case there are any mobility issues.

8. ClubOrsa Chrysoula’s Guest House – Skiathos Town
The location of the guest house is ideal for access to town and the beach. The views from the room and the balcony are outstanding. I really like the wide selection and fresh products that are served during breakfast. The hospitality of the host, Oriana, is excellent and it is very useful the airport transfer that they offer! The Guesthouse is not reachable by car, but you can park 5′ from there and reach the rooms with a pleasant walk through the streets of the village! More Information Here!
9. Atrium Villas – Kechria
The villas are situated on top of a small hill, which ensures privacy, but also as Skiathos is a small island, you can reach everything quite easy and within a short amount of time. The views are breathtaking, especially watching the sunset by the pool! The villas are beautiful and comfortable in every aspect and the architectural and design elements of the house are fantastic! Lucia, the host, is so helpful and she can recommend the best beaches to go to and the best restaurants in the area! You definitely need a car here, so that you can explore the island in the best way. The roads to the villas can be a bit steep, so I would recommend a 4×4 though a regular car would be ok as well.

This is a beautiful hotel opposite a beach and it has a lovely restaurant with great food! It is situated right next to the bus stop (number 6), just 8 stops away from Skiathos town! The view from the hotel is amazing since it is located on a small hill.
