Villa Athena Skiathos

The property is absolutely stunning! Very private and the views were spectacular. Surrounded by beautiful gardens and endless blue. Extremely clean and very easy access to the city and the beach. The hosts are lovely and very caring and welcoming. We would recommend it highly, it’s truly one of the most beautiful places we have stayed worldwide.

Studio is amazing with a spectacular view. Everything is really close. The hosts are very welcoming and eager to help with anything

I cant wait to get back to Villa Athena, and friends who also stayed in Skiathos for a wedding all wished they had stayed here! The hosts are so friendly and helpful and really made us feel welcome to the studios on their property. We were welcomed with flowers, fruit beer and soft drinks as well as great advice on taxis and places to eat and visit. The view from the villa was amazing, and I could have stayed forever. The kitchen facilities were great for a small studio and the décor was lovely with great attention to detail. The daily housekeeping service was excellent. Mini supermarket, beach and taverns a short walk down 'the hill'

The hill, but it was worth it! Puts you off popping out, as its a commitment to walk back up it, but local taxis are great.

Villa Athena was excellent and Karen and Org, our hosts, were great, they couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. The views from the studio were brilliant. Skiathos is a lovely town and the many beaches within an easy and inexpensive bus ride are amongst the best anywhere. Skiathos has plenty of restaurants offering excellent food at affordable prices.

Not a dislike but an observation. The excellent views from Villa Athena is because it's at the top of a steep but walkable hill. If climbing hills is an issue, then a hire car is probably required.

Our week long stay at Villa Athena has been fantastic! Our studio had amazing views of the sea and overlooked the beautifully maintained garden. Villa Athena is very picturesque, quiet, spotless and comfortable. Soundproof walls. Each studio has its own private entrance and terrace/patio. Our apartment had all the necessities plus daily housekeeping. Quiet A/C. The owners Karen and Orc are very warm and welcoming and are onsite. Bus Stop 5 is just at the bottom of the hill and a supermarket very conveniently located. Villa Athena is a true gem!

Our stay at Villa Athena was wonderful. The apartment was based on the hillside surrounded by beautiful gardens with fantastic sea views . Karen and Org the hosts were the best you could get making sure everything was ok and giving advice about the island . The apartment itself was lovely, very clean and had everything that you needed with great outdoor space . Karen had thought of everything and it’s those little touches that make a place special. The walk into town was about 15 mins and you could walk through the back roads to avoid the busy main road . We hope we can make it back one day .

Great views, great hosts, super place

Nothing… (I recommend a car or scooter)

Unfortunately we only stayed four nights at Villa Athena. This place is just beyond beautiful. Although the driveway to the accommodation is quite steep you will get the most breathtaking reward once you arrive. The different units are surrounded by a beautiful green garden. In the apartments you get a stunning view over the sea and island. The units are very clean and comfortable. Skiathos town is just a 15 min walk away. But above all we appreciated the most how heartwarming our hosts welcomed us and the recommendations we got from them. If you’re looking for a place to remember, we recommend Villa Athena a 100%! Thanks Karen and Org for everything!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful place in Skiathos, and I can only recommend it to everyone. The location is absolutely perfect – perched overlooking the sea. It's also just the right distance from the town and nearby restaurants. Yes, a bit of a steep path to get there, but this is compensated a thousand times over by the view. If on foot, then good for your health, otherwise just organise a scooter or a car. The interior of the studio is really nice and done with attention to details. The place is really well run by the owners.

Incredible hosts - went over and above to help with boat and car rentals/local tips etc. Phenomenal views and excellent apartment - so well kitted out and serviced daily. Would recommend to anyone! Although it is very close to a bus stop, It is at the top of a big hill and just outside town - so definitely would recommend a car/4 wheeler (we rented a jimney which was great.) parking was never an issue - quick trips to the beach or town. And then also the freedom to explore many “off the beaten track” beaches, tavernas and areas on the island. We loved that.!
