Platanias, Marialena Village

For an off-beach flexible holiday Marialena Village Apartments are ideal. The leafy rural setting is well worth the walk up a pleasant country lane from the main road and Aghia Paraskevi beach area. It is easy exercise and only the hillside slope at the apartments is likely to be a problem for very few. The lawned parkland setting is well maintained and the ambience is immediately attractive, far ahead of others in the area. Owner George and his family are helpful and efficient, with good home cooking in the pool-side bar/cafe available when you are not sampling the many tavernas along the lane or main road. Views over the wooded hillsides, occasional farmyard animal sounds, quiet relaxation - great to come back to after all the other things Skiathos has to offer.

This holiday location cannot be recommended highly enough, absoloutely first class! We will without doubt be going back to stay.

The food in the Marialena Village apartments in Skiathos was average and overpriced. Try the Pegasus on the way to the main road. They have great food and it is great value for money. The local beach was clean and quiet.
