3 Best Hotels in Skiathos Town, The Sporades

Extending up the side of a hill at a quiet end of Skiathos Town (but just a few minutes' walk to the center) each of the property's open-plan apartments benefit from glittering views of the port and sea beyond. Styled in the Greek islands' ubiquitous white and blue tones with hammered silver decorations, the apartments each feature a large balcony, kitchenette, and comfortable lounge area, with access to a large shared swimming pool that overlooks the port from above.

Couples who settle into this hillside hideaway will be excused for thinking they've landed in their own grand Mediterranean villa, since that's what the large, comfortable suites and lovely gardens are all meant to evoke. Whipping up the spell further are original Greek artworks, balconies with sweeping views, a stunning pool, a private launch for shoreline touring, and an excellent outdoor candlelit restaurant, Pelagos.
