The hotel staff were welcoming and friendly.
The complex is on level ground, so very easy to get around .
The pool area is very clean , with very comfortable beds and a garden area too, with plenty of shade.
The BBQ event was great and the food was amazing.
Breakfast was a huge array of all sorts of fresh and tasty produce.
The rooms are spacious and the bed was very comfortable.

Hotel is located 7-10 minutes walking to Koukounaries beach, in a very quiet location. There are trees and greenery all around.The whole property is very green, very well taken care of. Our apartment had a lot of cute details. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Maria is a great host! She provided us information about the island and was very nice and kind.

fantastic location and lovely building with private pool, beach views and secure environment. very well looked-after with cleaning and linen changes 3x a week. Fly screens and cleanliness meant no issues with ‘creatures’.

Nice beach, but a bit overcrowded (in the number of persons / number of sunbeds). Although, in the see you don't feel the crowd.
Koukounaries is a bit far away from Skiathos Town (45 minutes to 1 hour the bus drive). small market shops in koukounaries are very expensive (at least 2 times more than a usual supermarket, while the selection of products is limited).

Koukounaries is a remote village surrounded by forest, 15-30 minutes walk to very beautiful beaches. I missed the seaviews and the nightlife. None of the properties in this area has seaview, because there is a lake and a forest that separates the main road from the beach. I would recommend to rent a car or something else to go to the beaches around. When it is very hot, it is not comfortable to walk 30 minutes under the sun. Bear in mind that the area is full of rats, especially if the property is in the wood. My friends ( 6 families) were staying at Driades and I was terrified to see rats in the garden among children playing. Not to mention at night! ( of course we have photos and videos)
I have eaten at Under the pine, which is nice and at Big Bad Wolf, where we have paid 12 euros for the bread! But the seabass and the lamb chops were perfect.
The beaches nearby are quite beautiful. My favorite was Mandraki Elias. Agia Eleni is a nice beach, too. Koukounaries is very crowded, but it is ok to go for a day or two.

Koukounaries is a fairly long road with relatively few properties, it's basically a big pine forest surrounded by a dozen beautiful beaches... there's at least two brilliant bars, more restaurants.
Great bus service, 20 minutes to town.

Worst hotel I have ever stayed in.
Worst hotel I have ever stayed in. No reflection of the photos on Booking.com and a complete scam. Our room had been double booked and we were told our only option was to sleep in a room allocated to staff with a broken shower, no aircon and ripped /dirty curtains.
Promised a 60% refund only to be told upon our return to the UK that this wouldn't happen.
Arranged with the hotel to be collected by the hotel from the airport to only wait 2 hours before being told make your own way.
Completely missold based on the profile and images on Booking

It is a small resort at the far end of the island with a few Taverna’s and a gorgeous beach
It has a water taxi from the beach to Skiathos town and buses every 10 mins to get around the island.
The tavernas are varied and a couple of bar’s one of which is mostly English and sells cocktails and English breakfasts, which personally I want to avoid when in the beautiful Greek islands.
Greek food and hospitality is amazing and I like to appreciate local dishes, Souv Lake was a lovely gyros cafe bar, on the way to the beach.
Would definitely recommend the area and would return, although for night life you are best to get the bus into town.
The location is very good, you can walk to Koukounaries beach and even to the beaches near Mandraki forest (we took the car since we were with our 3-year-old, but there were many people walking to those beaches).
The room we had at the top floor had an amazing view, the beds were comfortable. The hotel has 2 restaurants 2 minutes away and many others 10-15 minutes away by foot.
The playground was also useful for us.
The clothes rack broke during our stay and the staff immediately repaired it, Dorina and Eugen were prompt and ready to help.
The outside space is amazing. Lots of different levels and places to sit meaning people can get some space and find shade if needed. The pool is just beautiful and was cleaned daily. The location of the villa is fantastic too, lots of beaches, bars and restaurants within walking distance. Yopu can also get a water taxi from the beach to skiathos town which is convenient and fun. Dorata and Grigoris who look after the property are very lovely and professional and did a fantastic job. Would happily come back and stay here again.
Our stay at Driades was wonderful. Maria is a great host and she made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Her artwork gives the place a warm feeling and the staff keeps everything clean, daily. The villa is located in a peaceful area, with easy access to the beach and to the best restaurants and supermarkets in Koukounaries. The rooms from our maisonette were spacious, private and well furnished. And the kitchen and bathroom had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.
Situated in a peaceful pine forest, 10 minute walk away from the main road. The rooms are a bit outdated, but provide everything you need. There is Georges bar at the premises with George being an awesome host. We would cheer for Greece and Slovenia basketball teams on Eurobasket 2022 when the games were on, otherwise spent evenings over a few beers with George and other guest. Guests have an option of BBQ also. A really pleasant place to stay. Thanks for great holidays to all the staff. Best regards from Slovenia.
Very friendly owners, good location , easily accessible from the airport with lots of beaches around (if you don't mind walking, hiking). It has a nice garden and a private bar. Although didn't go there myself, I heard the music there was according to my taste and not very loud. :)
At the end of the season the property and the beaces were not crowded, unfortunately based on the reviews some nearby beaches can be really crowded and are occupied by a 5* resort...
The accommodation is situated in a quiet environment surrounded by a large garden with beautiful pine trees. The noise of the main road can almost not be heard at all. The room was well equipped and had a pleasant temperature. Koukounaries beach is easily approachable on foot through the trail along Strophilia lake. There are plenty of restaurants nearby as well as a supermarket. Bus stop 24 is 1-2 mins on foot. The owner/cleaning lady was very nice.
This is a high quality resort and we really enjoyed our stay. Excellent breakfast. Multiple good restaurants on site although prices a little high. Few independent restaurants nearby the complex so there aren't many local options for eating unless you have transport. There is a local bus that runs every 20-30minutes to Skiathos town 30 mins away. Lovely beaches and helpful staff.
Value for money. This place is beautiful and the owners are very nice to chat with. Like most of the places in Skiathos it's old but well maintained. You need a car to go to the port but you can walk to Koukounaries beach, there is a very nice bar right at the corner and a mini market for the essentials. We would certainly come back again.
Walking distance to: 1) a couple of the perfect beaches (Koukounaries, Banana, Agia Eleni) with natural shade, 2) island bus station(s) meaning easy to reach or go exploring without rent-a-car, 3) grocery market(s) with fast food, 4) walking trail(s) with stunning views. Pleasant owner and stuff. Clean.
Kostas and his family were very warm and welcoming. Communication was easy and fast, and he kindly waited up for our later than expected arrival to greet us. It is located very close to a small supermarket which was ideal, and Koukounaries beach was only a short walk away.
The apartment was even nicer than in the pictures, it had a very cozy feeling. 5 minutes walk to Koukounaries beach. The host was very helpful, we asked before arriving if there is a child seat in the apartment, it was not, but they ordered one.
Lovely hotel - I had a really spacious room and the pool was great. Only a short walk from some fantastic beaches and good bars/restaurants. Close to a bus stop to get around the island very easily.
Great location in Koukounaries
Surrounded by beautiful gardens
Fantastic pool
Fab bar area
Brilliant size apartments
The best hosts in George and Fotis
Would not stay anywhere else in Skiathos
We had an amazing stay! The hotel is situated in an ideal location next to the beach and the staff is extremely efficient, pleasant and helpful. Wonderful and clean rooms. Highly recommended!
The location is the only reason this hotel must rate as a 4 star. The public areas have all been nicely renovated and modernized. The pool deck is stunning and the view is outstanding.
Clean, Koukounaries Beach 10 min walk, comfortable beds, good a/c, kitchen, terrace, garden view, market 100m walk, manicured property, super nice hosts. We will be back!
The location is excellent. So close to Koukounaries & Agia Eleni beaches. I would like to include breakfast. The tavern inside Strophilia Apartments is incredible.
Very close to Koukounaries Beach
