The beautiful Greek island of Skiathos is an idyllic destination for couples looking to relax and reconnect. The golden sandy beaches and tranquil waters are perfect for intimate walks on the beach, or for taking part in water sports if you're more the adventurous type. Treat yourself to a rejuvenating massage, opt for a romantic dinner on a sunset cruise or head to Skiathos old town, where you can admire the stunning architecture and browse the local shops. Whatever your love language, Skiathos is the perfect place for a passionate getaway.
Skiathos is made for romance, with its secluded beaches, upmarket hotels, superb restaurants and breathtaking sunsets. There are also plenty of fun things for lovers to do, such as sharing a pre-dinner drink in one of the island's best bars, at Bourtzi, an ancient 13th-century fort that stretches right down to the sea. You can also climb the hundred steps that wind through the ancient alleyways to the church of Agios Nikolaos and the clock tower, from where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the sun setting spectacularly into the Aegean Sea. Finally, we recommend an early evening stroll around the old port. Comprising two harbours, it's the perfect place to discover your next favourite restaurant.
There are many romantic places to stay dotted around the island, all of which go out of their way to make you feel special and experience luxury that will stay with you forever. As well as luxurious accommodation, you'll find spas offering aromatherapy and relaxing massage sessions, as well as bubbling Jacuzzis and invigorating saunas. Many hotels offer transport to secluded beaches for the day, before bringing you back for a romantic candlelit dinner by the pool.
La Piscine Art Hotel, just 5 minutes from the centre of Skiathos, is dedicated to making your time on the island one of peace, tranquillity and luxury. This adults-only hotel offers a warm and friendly atmosphere, created by attentive staff who go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. A large Olympic-size swimming pool is set in landscaped gardens and all rooms are tastefully decorated with ornate fabrics and modern, high-end bathrooms. An award-winning à la carte restaurant serves contemporary Mediterranean cuisine using locally sourced organic produce.
