SURROUNDINGS
This undeveloped side of the island assures that the villa has maximum privacy. It is accessed via un-made road so car hire is essential. The nearest supermarkets and restaurants are approximately 3km away from the villa.The closest beaches are Xanemos and Megas Gialos. Xanemos is a small stretch of shingle beach with facilities and great for airplane enthusiasts. It sits pretty much at the end of the runway so plane-spotting can be a fun pastime. The villa also faces the tail end of the runway which gives a dramatic view as the jets take off from Skiathos - though it is far enough away to be removed from the noise. The small sandy beach of Megas Gialos is also situated on the eastern coast of the island. It is an ideal beach for those who are tired of the crowded beaches of the tourist resorts and seek a place for peace and quiet. There are no accommodation facilities, taverns or bars available here.
