Imagine strolling along Port of Skianthos for some great waterfront pics when in the heart of Skiathos. If you carry on walking you'll get to Megali Ammos Beach for some more water views.
If a restful vacation is part of your travel plans, Achladies Beach might be the perfect place to seek out during your trip to Katsarou. While you're in the area, stroll along the seaside.
"The hotel was new, build to amazing standards. The pool and restaurant area were brilliant.
When we arrived I had an issue with the fold out sofa bed for the children, when I asked about this the owner himself came to see us and nothing was too much trouble. After that he was the most gracious person. The hotel is amazing and reminded me of private members club quality.
I wish them every success and we will definitely stay there any other time we visit Skopolos town!"
"Great location specially if you are staying only one nignt or two, walking distance to all restaurants, ferry, close to airport. Friendly staff, cozy with all you need"
"We chose Hotel Rene as it looked more our style, a bit more relaxed and a homely feel. Our instinct was right. What a wonderful hotel, small, charming, good amenities and wonderful owners and staff. They could not do more to help if they tried. Exactly what we wanted and needed.
We really enjoyed sitting on our balcony taking in the excellent view, chilling by the nicely sized pool (reasonsbly rare in Skiathos town). It is a short walk to the beach (5-10mins), and also very quick to town (10-15mins depending where you want to go). The bus stop is just at the bottom of the road to explore the island (very convenient), and right next to that is the Super Market for anything you might need. That being said the Hotel also has a reasonably priced store for any food, water or other drinks you might need.
I would definitely look at staying here again when visiting Skiathos. You may have noticed others saying the hotel is situated on top of a hill, the upside of this - great views and a very easy walk to town or the beach! The downside is of course coming back. I must say if you are of low-moderate fitness (like me) this should be manageable for most people. It is 2-3 minutes of a steep up hill then you're done. If you have mobility issues it may not be advisable, but taxis will take you from the town for 10€.
Please don't let this put you off, but you should be aware of it. It didn't worry us, and we did not regret it our choice!"
"What a wonderful property. The staff were very warm and friendly. The breakfast was excellent...all prepared on site. The property was beautiful inside and out. I would recommend staying in Kastraki where this property is located. The village is very relaxed and the views of the spires are much better than those in larger Kalabaka. The monastaries are breathtaking. Just be prepared to navigate a lot of steps. I would definitely stay at Doupiani House Hotel again!"
