fantastic location and lovely building with private pool, beach views and secure environment. very well looked-after with cleaning and linen changes 3x a week. Fly screens and cleanliness meant no issues with ‘creatures’.

A beautiful, quiet studio in a perfect location! The Mandraki forest was behind the studios and an easy walk to the beaches (3 lovely, quiet beaches can be found on the other side of the Mandraki forest). Shop and restaurants close by. Lemon trees in the garden and a beautiful view from the terrace. Spotlessly clean - with towels replaced every other day. Heaven!!
Boasting a garden and views of lake, Villa Nikos Koukounaries is a recently renovated aparthotel situated in Koukounaries, less than 1 km from Xenia Beach.

Nice big room, calm area. AC in the room. Very nice host. The Airport Pickup Service was a big plus, saves you a Taxi fare of 25E.

Nice beach, but a bit overcrowded (in the number of persons / number of sunbeds). Although, in the see you don't feel the crowd.
Koukounaries is a bit far away from Skiathos Town (45 minutes to 1 hour the bus drive). small market shops in koukounaries are very expensive (at least 2 times more than a usual supermarket, while the selection of products is limited).

Koukounaries is a remote village surrounded by forest, 15-30 minutes walk to very beautiful beaches. I missed the seaviews and the nightlife. None of the properties in this area has seaview, because there is a lake and a forest that separates the main road from the beach. I would recommend to rent a car or something else to go to the beaches around. When it is very hot, it is not comfortable to walk 30 minutes under the sun. Bear in mind that the area is full of rats, especially if the property is in the wood. My friends ( 6 families) were staying at Driades and I was terrified to see rats in the garden among children playing. Not to mention at night! ( of course we have photos and videos)
I have eaten at Under the pine, which is nice and at Big Bad Wolf, where we have paid 12 euros for the bread! But the seabass and the lamb chops were perfect.
The beaches nearby are quite beautiful. My favorite was Mandraki Elias. Agia Eleni is a nice beach, too. Koukounaries is very crowded, but it is ok to go for a day or two.

Koukounaries is a fairly long road with relatively few properties, it's basically a big pine forest surrounded by a dozen beautiful beaches... there's at least two brilliant bars, more restaurants.
Great bus service, 20 minutes to town.

Worst hotel I have ever stayed in.
Worst hotel I have ever stayed in. No reflection of the photos on Booking.com and a complete scam. Our room had been double booked and we were told our only option was to sleep in a room allocated to staff with a broken shower, no aircon and ripped /dirty curtains.
Promised a 60% refund only to be told upon our return to the UK that this wouldn't happen.
Arranged with the hotel to be collected by the hotel from the airport to only wait 2 hours before being told make your own way.
Completely missold based on the profile and images on Booking

It is a small resort at the far end of the island with a few Taverna’s and a gorgeous beach
It has a water taxi from the beach to Skiathos town and buses every 10 mins to get around the island.
The tavernas are varied and a couple of bar’s one of which is mostly English and sells cocktails and English breakfasts, which personally I want to avoid when in the beautiful Greek islands.
Greek food and hospitality is amazing and I like to appreciate local dishes, Souv Lake was a lovely gyros cafe bar, on the way to the beach.
Would definitely recommend the area and would return, although for night life you are best to get the bus into town.
Situated in a peaceful pine forest, 10 minute walk away from the main road. The rooms are a bit outdated, but provide everything you need. There is Georges bar at the premises with George being an awesome host. We would cheer for Greece and Slovenia basketball teams on Eurobasket 2022 when the games were on, otherwise spent evenings over a few beers with George and other guest. Guests have an option of BBQ also. A really pleasant place to stay. Thanks for great holidays to all the staff. Best regards from Slovenia.
Very friendly owners, good location , easily accessible from the airport with lots of beaches around (if you don't mind walking, hiking). It has a nice garden and a private bar. Although didn't go there myself, I heard the music there was according to my taste and not very loud. :)
At the end of the season the property and the beaces were not crowded, unfortunately based on the reviews some nearby beaches can be really crowded and are occupied by a 5* resort...
The accommodation is situated in a quiet environment surrounded by a large garden with beautiful pine trees. The noise of the main road can almost not be heard at all. The room was well equipped and had a pleasant temperature. Koukounaries beach is easily approachable on foot through the trail along Strophilia lake. There are plenty of restaurants nearby as well as a supermarket. Bus stop 24 is 1-2 mins on foot. The owner/cleaning lady was very nice.
The position on the beach is wonderful and your own pool if you don’t fancy getting sandy feet. Stathis has been great as has the gentleman who maintains the outside each day. This is the best place we’ve ever stayed in Greece bar none. Book this property, you won’t regret it. Amazing views, watch the sea, watch the goat herd that comes down the mountain each day for about an hour at teatime. Facilities are ideal and the beds were firm but comfortable.
The hotel is perfectly located with access to 4 beautiful sandy beaches. You don't have to worry about finding space on the beach no matter how late you go.
The whole area is very green and gives you the opportunity to properly relax.
The Grace rooms are spacious, well arranged and with beautiful terraces overlooking the sea.
All beach bars are very nice with large sunbeds and friendly staff.
pets friendly! For us it was very important because we were with a small kitten. The location is nice, walking distance to few beaches, some restaurants and few mini markets (with crazy prices, normal supermarket Sklavenitis is just in Skiathos town, so you should take a bus, the ticket is 2€). The room is small, but has everything what you need for comfortable stay. Very good fast wifi.

Our apartment had a lot of cute details. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Maria is a great host! She provided us information about the island and was very nice and kind.
had an issue with the rooms location at check in. we booked 3 room for a family in one reservation.. they located each room in a different building!!! luckily after 4 days they managed to have us move one of them adjacent to another. i liked the hotel location on the island and the general feel in the hotel surroundings. convenient parking.
Hotel was very clean, great pool and close proximity to an exceptional beach. Host was cordial and very helpful to accommodate all of our needs !! There were 2 Good restaurants near to the hotel which allowed us to enjoy the beach all day. A 10 Km drive to the main city for shopping and vibrant nightlife. Highly recommended.
The hotel is located next to the Koukounaries beach and near restaurants/bars as well as the bus stop to Skiathos town. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and very comfortable with most amenities. The bed was super comfy. High quality breakfast with several options and fresh coffee.
Walking distance to: 1) a couple of the perfect beaches (Koukounaries, Banana, Agia Eleni) with natural shade, 2) island bus station(s) meaning easy to reach or go exploring without rent-a-car, 3) grocery market(s) with fast food, 4) walking trail(s) with stunning views. Pleasant owner and stuff. Clean.
The apartment was even nicer than in the pictures, it had a very cozy feeling. 5 minutes walk to Koukounaries beach. The host was very helpful, we asked before arriving if there is a child seat in the apartment, it was not, but they ordered one.
Excellent location, the bus stops just outside. Tassos the owner was so friendly and helpful, he met us on arrival and gave us tips for where to go and eat. Very close walking distance to all the best beaches of Skiathos.
Very nice apartment equipped with everything you need, very clean, bathroom quite big, location at 12 min from Koukounaries beach, also close to the bus station, the host was expecting us to come and was nice
The view from the balcony was superb; it was handy for the beach; local restaurants and transport into Skiathos town: Doreen made us very welcome and staff were very helpful: Lovely stay:
The location is the only reason this hotel must rate as a 4 star. The public areas have all been nicely renovated and modernized. The pool deck is stunning and the view is outstanding.
