Mystic Breeze

Located on the north side of Skiathos, this charming villa in the heart of a quiet olive grove is a relaxing place to call home. Just below is Paralia Megas Gialos, a hidden gem of a beach that's well-worth the rocky climb down. Five minutes away by car is Skiathos Town, an enchanting village where cosmopolitan eateries, trendy boutiques, lively clubs and chic cafes promise plenty of action. From ancient monasteries to glorious beaches, there's no doubt that this is an excellent place to experience all the island has to offer.

When you're not out exploring, chances are you'll be lounging by the private infinity pool and drinking in the views of the Aegean on the terrace. Inside, Grecian character – think stone exterior, white-washed walls, wooden ceilings – meets 21st-century comforts like a jacuzzi tub and fully-equipped kitchen to create a comfortable and captivating space. Even better, your hosts go above and beyond to make your stay extraordinary. Not only will they pick you up at the airport, but they'll greet you with welcome drinks on arrival, help organise tours of the nearby islands and monasteries and assist with planning activities like bike riding, hiking, and much more.
