Island Views

Island Views: Thessaly

This lovely villa in Skiathos boasts glorious views out to sea and to the neighbouring island of Skopelos. With two bedrooms and a spacious living room with sofa beds, this home is perfect for groups of six looking to enjoy island life.

Olive and pine trees surround the villa so as you lie out in the sun on the terrace, the faint aroma of pine fills the warm air. You’ll likely spend most of your time outside, making the most of the beautiful Greek weather and the villa’s inviting pool. A swim in the pool of this hillside home comes with spectacular views and a peaceful vibe. The only sounds you’ll hear are the water lapping the side of the pool, and maybe the gentle hum of an insect.

The tranquillity of the villa doesn’t mean that you’re out in the sticks though – on the contrary, this home is close to everything you need. It takes just ten minutes to drive into the town centre, where you’ll find shops and great restaurants. It’s a lovely town to wander around, meandering the narrow streets and picking up wine for your evenings out on the veranda.

Skiathos has sixty-nine beaches, all with soft white sand and tempting clear water to swim in. After enjoying breakfast on the veranda, why not head to the port? Every morning, small boats set off towards the beaches. You might find yourself in an isolated cove where you can swim and picnic until the sun begins to set.
