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.

A wonderful holiday. Spotlessly clean room. Breakfast was great, lots of choice. Staff go above and beyond with customer service. They even catered for my lactose intolerance. Upgraded to King Suite. Fabulous 👌 10 minutes walk to the beach. 20 minutes to Skiathos Town. They provide a shuttle service too. Special thanks to Eleni and Julien!

My 2nd stay to Hotel Rene and once again it did not disappoint. Location perfect with the most spectacular views. Friendly staff, nothing too much. Will definitely be back 😁

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.
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.
The position on the beach is wonderful and your own pool if you don’t fancy getting sandy feet. Stathis has been great as has the gentleman who maintains the outside each day. This is the best place we’ve ever stayed in Greece bar none. Book this property, you won’t regret it. Amazing views, watch the sea, watch the goat herd that comes down the mountain each day for about an hour at teatime. Facilities are ideal and the beds were firm but comfortable.
Great location, close to Koukounaries beach.
View towards the lake/sea, you could hear the waves in late evening or early morning.
We had arrived late in the evening, however the owner -a very nice person -waited for us and showed the room facilities. The personel is also very helpful and we thank everyone for making the vacation successful.
Room was sufficient for a small family.
Definetely will book again when returning to Skiathos.
Hotel was very clean, great pool and close proximity to an exceptional beach. Host was cordial and very helpful to accommodate all of our needs !! There were 2 Good restaurants near to the hotel which allowed us to enjoy the beach all day. A 10 Km drive to the main city for shopping and vibrant nightlife. Highly recommended.
we enjoyed the location, so close to all the most beautiful beaches of the island. the team of the property is sooo kind. it is on the Main Street going from the city center to Koukounaries beach so you do not need to rent a car neither a motorbike since you can take a not expensive bus running every 20 minutes.
Location is top. 10,000sqm of green only for yourself plus Koukounaries reservation in front of the property. Many restaurants nearby, bus stop in front of the hotel. The owner of the property . Restaurant at site, full all the time evenings but we' ve found our spot. They are good in pasta and pizza.
Self catering facilities and a supermarket and cashpoint nearby. Very friendly family run studios. Safe and air conditioning in the room. Quiet location with a good night’s sleep. Koukounaries beach and bus stop no 26 within a few minutes walk. Excellent taverna A La Mar a few minutes walk away too.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was very good. The location is near the most beautiful beaches in Skiathos but we had a car. Without car, having small kids with us it would have been difficult to get to the beach.
The resort is looking very nice and the price was fair.
Beautiful setting, away from the main road but close to mini Market and several tavernas. Within walking distance of several beaches. Regular bus service to Skiathos Town. Alex and his mum were so friendly and helpful with anything we needed, and the studio was cleaned every other day.
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.
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.
The location of the hotel is perfect - walking distance to several beaches, next to the bus stop.
The family room is very spacy - 2 bedrooms, 1 kitchen, a lot of wardrobes space.
Such a beautiful hotel that definitely feels 5 star with delicious breakfast, private beach, amazing facilities and golf carts to lift you around. We loved our stay here!
The location is excellent. So close to Koukounaries & Agia Eleni beaches. I would like to include breakfast. The tavern inside Strophilia Apartments is incredible.
