Villa Alexio 1 Greece

Moments away from Aselinos Beach on Skiathos’ north-western coast, Villa Alexio 1 enjoys a fine location. With the nearby crystal blue waters and golden sands flanked by greenery, you have an idyllic spot right on your doorstep, and are within a 20-minute drive of other island highlights like Koukounaries Beach, Banana Beach and Skiathos town itself.
The property offers its own private pool and spacious garden, with a poolside terrace decked out with sun loungers and parasols. You can enjoy some time in the sun while younger guests enjoy the children’s play area, which has a slide and swings suitable for young children. With the beach just 70m away, the views are excellent too.
Inside the house, you have a spacious lounge on the upper level, complete with two sofas, an armchair and TV with DVD and satellite channels. This open-plan space also incorporates a dining area with seating for six, and an attractive kitchen with a large fridge freezer, oven and other appliances. Out on the balcony terrace, you have another table and chairs, perfect for drinks as you admire the view of the Aegean Sea.
The two double bedrooms on the lower level give you access to another balcony area beside the pool. You also have a bathroom with a spacious shower, on the upper floor. With other features including a barbecue, air-conditioning and Wi-Fi, plus free parking on site, this villa has all you will need, and it’s easy to reach – Skiathos International Airport is a 25-minute drive away.
Villa Alexio 1’s location makes it easy to get around Skiathos, exploring the dozens of beaches which are the highlight of this captivating island. The best-known of these, Koukounaries, has been rated amongst the world’s most beautiful and can get busy, while the one outside your villa, Aselinos, is quieter and charming, with its own waterfront tavern.
While Skiathos town is within easy driving distance, you may prefer to take it even easier with a boat trip down the coast. This pretty port is well worth a visit, for its relaxed dining and cool bars as well as the photogenic Old Town.A wonderfully green island filled with forests and wooded hills, Skiathos is both picturesque and easy to get around. Its size means you can take in a fair bit of it in one trip – as a rough guide, a journey from Skiathos town in the south to Kastro on the northern tip would take around 30 minutes. You will find some 60 beaches dotted around the coast of Skiathos, ranging from the tourist favourites to quieter, more remote ones further away from the main town.
Skiathos town itself, otherwise known as the Chora, is an appealingly laid-back kind of place, albeit one which is now well used to visitors. The idyllic waterfront is full of Mediterranean charm, with the crystal blue waters of the Aegean only adding to it. Plenty of restaurants and bars will welcome you, but you may find some of the best are the traditional Greek tavernas tucked away elsewhere, serving up home-cooked fare that’s hard to beat.
The town has quite a few shops, selling clothing, arts and crafts and souvenirs, and you will find lots to look at around the Old Town. In addition to numerous cafés and bars, the town also boasts an open-air cinema which, given much of the movie was filmed in the region, is duty-bound to host regular screenings of Mamma Mia! If you’re a fan, this is surely the place to see it again. Another landmark you may recognise from the film is the Agios Nikolaos clock tower which overlooks the town. If you make it up there, you will be rewarded with a superb view.
The big draw for many coming to Skiathos is the beautiful beaches. You will never be too far from one; it’s just a case of choosing what you want. Rugged Lalaria and the partly naturist Banana sit alongside family-friendly beaches like Ahladies and remote outposts Kalamaki and Stigero. One of the largest and best known, Koukounaries is blessed with white sands and a pine forest backdrop, and has plenty of beach bars and restaurants close by.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
