Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Skiathos

The house is in the heart of the beautiful old town. Prepare to get lost in the maze of ancient streets - it took us 3 days before we could remember the way home! There’s a lovely store just round the corner where you can buy essentials. Manolis and Sophia were attentive hosts - we appreciated fresh eggs and fruit left for us from Sophia’s garden. The house is immaculate and the balcony overlooks the rooftops and mountains and is a lovely place to sit. It’s not useable in the rain however (sadly we had some!) and the only other seating in the house is around the dining table. You can get to nearby Stafylos beach by bus (€2 single) or taxi (€10 one way). It’s a beautiful beach with a great taverna. We had a great stay and loved Skopelos - thank you.

Our stay at Eleni’s beautiful Greek house was nothing short of magical. One of the highlights was her generosity in supplying fresh vegetables, eggs & olive oil all from her property. We were treated to several delicious authentic local dishes which reflected the region’s rich culinary traditions, and you could taste the freshness in every bite. The house itself was a stunning example of authentic Greek architecture, with charming details that gave it a unique character. The view was breathtaking—panoramic scenes of the sparkling sea and distant islands. Whether enjoying a meal on the terrace or relaxing with a glass of wine, the landscape made every moment special. This stay was more than just a vacation; it felt like an immersion into Greek culture, thanks to the host’s warmth and hospitality. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic & unforgettable experience! The booking process, communication & checkin were seamless. Thanks Manolis & Chris!

Here’s the translation: This was a fantastic stay! The apartment is very spacious and bright, beautifully furnished with everything you need. Vasiliki gave us a warm welcome, and we felt very comfortable! When checking out, I forgot my power bank, and it was even brought to the airport for me – many thanks again!♥️

We loved Carlas place. We had a little trouble locating it due to a poor phone signal and the taxi driver refusing to drop us anywhere but the port. Once we arrived it was a perfect location for the beach, bars and restaurants which were all within walking distance. Carla’s communication was great and she was very helpful. Would definitely recommend and we hope to stay here again.

Mata was wonderful, the best host we've had! She's very kind, attentive, she gave us great recommendations and exceeded every expectation. The house is beautiful, spacious and comfortable, every little detail shows the love and dedication with which Mata cares for it. Every space delicately perfumed and the whole house was impeccably clean. The porch/terrace is a great space for eating and spending time with family and has a great view of the sea. The island is beautiful and the house is very well located, near the port, the center of the town, and the bus station. Every beach we went to was beautiful and not too far away. Even though there are a few stairs to climb to get there, the view from the house is worth the climb. There are also some stairs inside the house so people with reduced mobility should be aware of that. We had an incredible time in Skiathos and at Mata's place, if you had the goodluck to find this house dont doubt it! It's worth it. Both Mata and the house are a 100!

Everything was exactly like the description, the room is in a perfect position and Maria was really friendly and kind. Totally recommended!

Lovely and very comfortable house , very welcoming and helpful host George. He gave us additional information about what we needed !I will definitely be back sometime in the future!!

Simply perfect stay! The property is well maintained, clean and in an ideal location for exploring Skiathos: close to the port but also quiet. A special thanks to Spiros, an extraordinary host: always available, kind and attentive, ready to give great advice on what to see and where to eat. You can really feel the passion with which he manages the place and the attention he devotes to each guest. It is rare to find such a warm and authentic welcome. If I went back to Skiathos, I would choose this place with my eyes closed. Highly recommended!

We had a great time in the apartment, Alexandros made us find everything we needed. We always had breakfast on the terrace. We enjoyed the beautiful beach just a 5-minute walk away, where we went down every morning for a swim. The area is quiet and the Kioupi tavern below us did not cause any disturbance. We went downstairs several times for dinner. We rented a scooter and reached different beaches and enchanting landscapes every day. A beautiful vacation. We'd love to come back.

just amazing so special for us so relaxing two large patios we ate El fresco every day sunbathed and enjoyed the most amazing views of the sea and islands Kostas and Paraskevi must be justifiably proud of this accomodation highly recommend to any one looking for something very special

Haroula was an amazing host, met us at the port and walked us up to the apartment. Extremely friendly and taught us some local phrases. The apartment was just like the photos, very clean and the views were amazing. 10/10 would stay again!

We had an absolutely lovely time at Eleni's apartment! From the moment we arrived, the experience was wonderful. The location is unbeatable-just steps from the beach, allowing us to enjoy swims in the morning as well as being able to eat breakfast outside whilst looking at the sea. It's really peaceful but also so close to lots of restaurants and bars as well as the local shop. Eleni was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. She went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed and even provided a lovely welcome basket of local treats for our arrival. We're already dreaming of our next visit to this slice of paradise. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a serene beachside escape!

We had an amazing stay in the appartement! It has a very nice location, close to a beautiful beach and the town isn't too touristic. Still there are some small markets and restaurants. There is a bus passing the town very regularly in the summer time so it's also very easy to get around without a car. I would love to come back in the future :)

Accommodation in the perfect area in the city of Skiathos, a two-minute walk from both the long sea, where the bars and restaurants begin, a two-minute walk from the city view, the church of San Nicola, and the clock tower. Georgina and her mother are perfect guests, available, always friendly and very responsive in responding to various questions and needs. To fully live the sea and evening life of the island I highly recommend evaluating any of the options offered by the hotel. There were 2 of us, space more than enough, just for sleeping!! Thanks to Georgina and her whole family for hosting, I hope to be able to host you in Florence soon!!! Francesco&Nicola

Polite and friendly communication with the host. The place was lovely!

We spent a glorious 5 days in Skiathos, and Maria and Konstantinos’s apartment was perfect. The cool white features, crisp linen, neat kitchen and glorious fan above the bed made this a super spot to be able to go into the town center easily for shopping, restaurants, both old and new ports, and still close enough to return to for the siesta! Maria was quick to respond, her recommendations of local spots were very helpful, and having flexible check in was great. We couldn’t fault this spot at all and would happily return every year! As for activities, we had a thoroughly enjoyable day trip on the Saint Nikolas boat with Kiriakos, we took the bus to a couple of the beaches along the coast, we had amazing meals at the Windmill, Cuva and Marmita - the latter needs booking in advance and was our favourite - as well as getting lost in the old town exploring and discovering quaint little scenes and lovely shops. The Sporades islands have something for everyone, Greece at her finest!

Stathis was a great host! He greeted us very friendly and had many recommendations for us. The apartment is very good located and very nice. Stathis also has a great restaurant which is definitely worth going to. Overall we had an amazing time and he is a very welcoming host.

The accommodation is absolutely amazing! In the perfect location right in the town with a view of the beautiful garden and ocean. The host Magda is so sweet and responsive! Skopelos is so beautiful and we were so thankful to have Magda as a host! Can’t wait to go back!

The apartment has the perfect location at the heart of busy Skiathos Town with great views of the harbour. It's just a short walk to any of the restaurants, bars, shops, taxis and bus. We instantly felt at home and loved the simple, greek inspired interior design. The kitchen is well equipped for self-catering. The bathroom is fresh and clean with a great shower! We loved our stay and will definitely be back!

Wished we had met her. Her father met us at the property and explained all we needed to know. Maria answered texts very quickly if we had a question. She came halfway through our stay to clean the property and change the bed linen, and left some of her mother’s home grown fruit. Lovely gesture. My only negative was the bed comfort, however, when is any bed better than your own?

Martin and Lisa are a very nice, likeable couple. Very humorous and if you have any questions, they are happy to help. Unfortunately, we had a motorcycle accident after four days and had to cancel the vacation. Martin and Lisa helped us so much, we were all very sad. We'd love to come back. It would have been such a nice vacation, the apartment is beautifully located in nature, very quiet, super relaxed and decelerating. For those seeking peace, a really very pleasant location with a great owner couple. Dear Lisa, dear Martin, thanks again for everything.

Our stay at Villa Marina on Skiathos was beyond all our expectations. Marina and her mother Morfo were incredibly accommodating, allowing us to extend our stay. Thank you for everything! The accommodation is clean, tidy, and has everything you need. The nights spent on the balcony with a view of the sea were unforgettable. The villa is in an ideal location, so all the beaches, both north and south of the island, are close by. I highly recommend this place to everyone, and in the future, it will be the only accommodation I choose when returning to Skiathos.

Don't let the pictures mislead you - the place is actually more beautiful than it seems! The house is super comfortable and provides a overwhelming view to the city. The host is extremely welcoming and supportive. It was a cute haven for my trip in Skopelos.

Great location in Skopelos. Close to everything, especially the bus terminal and ferry port. The view of the church and courtyard was nice as well as having a balcony.
