Skiathos House

Comfortable, outstanding-value modern rooms, studios and apartments fill this lovingly restored townhouse, with a palm-shaded back garden and super-central location. Rooms come with kettles, hairdryers and simple pine furnishings; most have little balconies. Welcoming Athenian proprietor Denis is full of island tips, and has umbrellas and beach towels for guests. It's behind the post office, one street from upper Papadiamanti.
