Top 6 Pensions in Skiathos, Greece

April 28, 2023 Lashaunda Abraham

Tiny Skiathos is packed with pine forests, archaeological ruins, and—most importantly—beaches. Shed your inhibitions at the nudist Banana Beach or have a more modest sun session at Koukounaries, which is peppered with lively cafes. Sail around on a chartered catamaran, hike to the dramatic medieval ruins of Kastro and tap into your spiritual side at one of Skiathos many monasteries.

Great hospitality and spotlessly clean

Reviewed By AnitaExplores

Yannis and Marta are perfect hosts. They met us at the airport at 530am and took us to the port the following morning. The pension is spotlessly clean, our room was well equipped with AC, fridge, hairdryer, shower and toilet. Our veranda had glorious views across the town. Breakfast on the terrace is perfect with plenty of shade and the most fabulous views. The pension is perfectly situated , a short walk into town and directly opposite the Windmill Restaurant.

Stayed for 9 nights at this lovely place in a central but quiet location of Skiathos. The mattress was very comfortable and everything was very clean. The owner is absolutely lovely. Will definitely return next year.

Good location, friendly staff but lacks some basic amenities

Reviewed By John R

I'm affraid the review is mainly negative and I won't recommend it to anybody else. Yes, it was cheap and it's close to everything, just in the middle of the old town. Which introduces a small issue with parking, so I'd rather rent a scooter than a car (unless you have a family). But there are options around, for 5-10min walk. Staff extremely friendly, well done guys you made a poor experience much better. But the hotel is awful ... cheap doors (squeaky and barely closing), cheap mattresses and pillows, cheap fittings in the bathroom. The bathroom was the worst, no windows or ventilation so all the humidity was gathering on the ceiling waiting to drop on your hair.. very unpleasant.

Okay for quick stopover

Reviewed By JAM_879

My wife stayed at this pension for one night during July of 2019. We just needed a room for one night as we were on our way to the nearby island of Alonnisos for an extended stay at a family home. The room was clean but basic, which was fine for our needs. The two people we interacted with were cordial and efficient, though it did help that I spoke a bit of Greek. As for the value, the price wasn't bad given that room costs in Skiathos Town aren't economical in the middle of the summer. We would stay here again in a pinch if need be, but again only for one night.

Ωραία δωμάτια.

Reviewed By Sotiris K

Σαν χώρος είναι πολύ προσεγμένος, με ωραία ευρύχωρα δωμάτια, πολύ καλά εξοπλισμένα με έπιπλα και κουζινικά, για να φτιάξεις ό, τι θέλεις, και μεγάλα μπαλκόνια. Η διαχείριση θέλει πολύ δουλειά δυστυχώς, καθώς η ιδιοκτήτρια φαίνεται να είναι άμαθη και δυσκολεύεται να διαχειριστεί την κατάσταση. Κακή εντύπωση σίγουρα μας έκανε το γεγονός ότι φώναζαν και γελούσαν με τον βοηθό της τις μεσημεριανές ώρες που καθάριζαν τα δωμάτια, με αποτέλεσμα να μην μπορούμε να ησυχάσουμε. Router υπάρχει μόνο στον διάδρομο, με αποτέλεσμα τα δωμάτια να μην έχουν internet. Επίσης, πρέπει να φροντίσουν να τοποθετήσουν και καμμιά πινακίδα, γιατί δύσκολα το βρίσκεις εκεί που είναι χωμένο.
