Orchard Villa 

Preview ... nestles in a ½-acre securely fenced olive-grove, with level access on foot from private parking drive for 4 cars, on a peaceful hillside over Skiathos Bay and its stunning '7-island' panorama (guests say equals 'best in Mediterranean'). It's near village, only 10 min. drive to harbourside tavernas, cafes, and shops ... near beach (only 5-25 mins drive to 50+ sandy beaches and coves), near shops, and near taverna (3 of the Skiathos' top-10 within 14 mins walk),

... a traditional Greek island villa with blue shutters, low-pitch red-tiled roofs, and roof sun-terrace. There’s a large cool flag-stoned split-level living room, four air-con wood-beamed bedrooms, 3 wet-rooms (one en-suite), and split-level salon with British 'pub'-style bar across to a friendly open-plan kitchen.  

Four French windows open onto a furnished vine-covered courtyard patio overlooking the three garden terraces for sunbathing, partying, and drinks by the private pool. The patio is is your extended living-room, comfy for dinner and drinks 'til after midnight, with the garden lights and moonlit views across the bay to twinkling village lights on Skopelos and Evia Islands.

- Skiathos  (beaches - tavernas - clubs - travel ...) - 

Preview - the picturesque traffic-free Village harbour (10 mins) saw the Mamma Mia ‘Fathers Arrival’. Cobbled lanes lead to the taverna-lined harbour, shops, clubs, bars, and all services. 

Most Skiathos villas are built in traditional Aegean island style, with low-pitched red-tile roofs, blue shutters, white or pastel walls - just like 'Orchard Villa' above (and no giant multi-storey hotels)

Skiathos has a world-class scenic coast and (click ) views, and unlike most Greek islands, literally scores of sandy beaches and coves. The dozen or so larger beaches have tavernas, bars, and water-sports.

All beaches on the main island are within 5-25mns drive, plus maybe a scramble down to a favourite secluded cove. It's also pleasant - but takes longer - by water-taxi from the harbour, and to beaches on nearby islets Tsougria and Arkos (with simple cantinas).

Press reviews:
"The Times" Skiathos is no.1 "Top Greek Island" (review ), and 'best buy' review 'Which ?' names Skiathos joint no.2 "Top Greek Island
"

"The Times" says ... Petite Skiathos is home to a huge 63 of Greece’s most picture-perfect beaches. Deep green pine forests cloak the hilly interior, while beautiful, vivacious Skiathos Town - your spot for harbour-view cocktail bars and gourmet restaurants - becomes a lively street party every summer night. It’s an island for the young and young at heart, including a few celebrity regulars, but plenty of affordable tavernas, bars and beaches even without a Hollywood budget.

- Travel to Skiathos
Preview - the airport upgrade gave us more budget air-fares and direct UK/EU flights, inc B-A in Jul-Aug.
Other options: budget flights to Athens and onward by domestic 'Aegean/Olympic' airline or express hydrofoil.
It's also surprisingly quick and easy to combine a Skiathos holiday with a car tour ... possible stop-overs Venice, the Alps, Athens.

Good Local transport - bus, radio-taxis, water-taxis, ferries for island or mainland trips. Away from beaches are dozens of village and country tavernas; hill walks, forest hikes, horse-riding, trail bikes; and restored Byzantine monasteries/chapels (but no 'classical' ruins!). 

... and all within minutes; on an island only 6 x 9 miles many see as the most attractive in all Greece.
