About the surrounding area
Situated on the north eastern tip of the island within 1.5 kilometres of the cosmopolitan capital of Skiathos which boasts two harbour areas separated by a rocky outcrop known as the Bourtzi. The old sector is full of charming cobbled lanes with whitewashed houses, flowered courtyards, traditional Tavernas and colourful fishing boats bobbing in the harbour. The modern part of town with the bigger and busier port features stylish shops, upmarket restaurants and elegant bars.
You are spoilt for choice when it comes to beaches in Skiathos, you can choose from organised beaches backed by tavernas and bars with sun beds and umbrellas for rent, to almost deserted rocky outcrops offering good snorkelling opportunities. The nearest beaches to the villa are Xanemos and Megali Ammos although many others are worth venturing to. Even Koukounaries which is probably the islands most well known beach and situated at the far end of the island is still within an easy 15-20 minute drive.
