We ended up being upgraded to Skiathos Avaton villa and suites which was amazing and just up from the Avaton hotel. The room was lovely with its own jacuzzi/pool and the staff were friendly and helpful. The bartender made amazing mojitos. We ate in the Avaton hotel in both the bistro and restaurant and both were lovely, again with staff that were attentive and friendly. The hotel was fairly close to the town, a short walk away. However some of the roads didn’t have paths which was a little dangerous, but nothing major. The hotel is also close to the beach. The suites and villas are nestled on the side of a hill which make for lovely surroundings.

The hill was pretty steep for the suits & villas but they did provide a buggy transport which was helpful and easy to arrange.

Great & lovely peaceful location. Easy walk to beach and town as well as bus stop. Staff very helpful/friendly; had a warm traditional family feel about the place. We appreciated the bottle of wine in our room on arrival :) Thank you. Restaurant dining was excellent, as was breakfast. Philian transfers were reasonable and on time. Rooms & public areas very clean. Pool area really nice with super comfy loungers. We had a couple of cool evenings but restaurant had gas burners to keep clients cozy. Represented good value for money :)

Our room was quite small but very adequate for a week.

Excellent stay! The property had made all the arrangements necessary for us to feel welcomed. The staff was friendly and helped us with our questions. The room we booked was not available, so we received a free room upgrade for 2 nights. The staff made all the necessary moves and even offered us free cocktails at their restaurant. On the day we checked out, we had an early flight so we missed breakfast time. But the manager had arranged for us to have a take-away breakfast that included some brioches and pastries along with a 'Safe Trip' message attached to it. This was really nice and excellent attention to details on their side. We'd definitely come back here again next year :)

From start to finish, we had the most amazing time. Everyone was so warm and welcoming and made us feel right at home! Elias (the manager) outdid himself, always stopping to have a chat and hands-on help whenever something needed to be done and always with a smile on his face. Seriana and George were incredible too, always making time for a little chat, advice on where to find things in town, and making us feel so welcome! While ALL the staff were friendly, these three stood out as exceptional for us. The pool area was stunning with soft music in the background, making for a serene place to soak in the sun. Close by to shops and the beach and only a 15 minute walk into town it was so easy to explore by foot. Will definitely be back!

Nothing. Everything was absolutely perfect.

We booked the king suite with the deck and hot tub. It was plenty big enough for our family of four and the deck was a great feature for star gazing. The breakfast was excellent, the best we had at our hotels in Greece. We had a couple of delicious dinners at the restaurant and all of the staff were welcoming and helpful. The pool area was relaxing and clean. We also had a great lunch and dinner at a restaurant affiliated with the hotel, which was across the street and down by the beach with a view of the sea. The hotel picked us up at the ferry and arranged for our taxi to the airport. We highly recommend this hotel!

We liked that the hotel was a 15 minute walk from town, though there are not a lot of sidewalks and there is a lot of traffic so you must be careful. The walk was no problem for our older kids, but it would be challenging with little kids/a stroller.

The staff were very friendly and had a great sense of humour. We had a very young baby with us and they went out of their way to help us with car seats when we travelled to the airport. The on site Black Pepper restaurant was one of the best restaurants we went to in Skiathos. Near endless list of good food options which made it easier for us travelling with a small child. The breakfast buffet was solid as well.

The Wifi could have been stronger. I worked from my hotel for a couple of days and it could not handle video calls on Zoom or Teams. No big issue as I walked to a beach cafe where they had stronger Wifi:

Me and my mum just came back from a five night stay at Avaton and we had such a wonderful time. Firstly, the staff were incredibly friendly and were very kind helping us with our room, and answering all our questions around catching buses etc. The rooms were basic but clean and comfortable with everything you need. The pool was really nice, with a large shallow area that would be great for infants. The location of the hotel is perfect, being about a 15 min stroll into Skiathos (via the beach or the road) and 5 mins from bus stop number 5 to get further afield on the island.

A few minor details like our drinking glasses were not refreshed during our stay and the walls are quite thin so we could sometimes hear fellow guests in the corridor, but thankfully most guests were very quiet.

From the moment I stepped in to the idyllic gardens I knew this was a special place. The team are second to none. Thanks to Vivi, Theodosis (Tres), Thanos, Andreas,Agni , Georgia and Sterias. I arrived fairly early but they made sure my room was ready and in fact upgraded me!. The pool area is so relaxing, the restaurant is rated in the top 5 on all of Skiathos and is well deserved. The food didnt let me down each night (why go elsewhere when you are spoilt on your door step). On the last morning I shed a tear as I left which shows how much an impression this place had on me. Thanks guys for the memories. I hope to be back.

Nothing

Since the moment we arrived greeting was amazing, Vivi was going out her way to make sure we are comfortable and satisfied. They picked up one of the guests with their car as they were in a wrong location, to avoid causing inconvenience. Vivi also had plenty of recommendations of things to do in the island. Both suites were great, and had jacuzzi inside, very clean. And we also had a complimentary bottle of wine which was a really sweet touch. All staff members were really accommodating. 10/10 definitely recommending for everyone to visit!!

I really liked the swimming pool and bar area, very relaxing and well organised. Our room was nice and clean. The staff was very kind. We didn’t eat at the restaurant because we had other plans, but the reviews were really good and I am sorry I missed it!

Breakfast could be improved with some vegan options. Our bedroom was nice, however the bathroom was very smelly. The view from the room was not really a “garden view”, more like the backside of the hotel with some plants, but it’s ok we stayed all the time by the swimming pool which was very nice :)
