Mandraki was an amazing hotel! I emailed the hotel prior to arriving, and the staff was prompt in responding and were very helpful. From the moment I arrived, everything was wonderful. It’s a beautiful property, my room was so comfortable and quiet. The restaurant has excellent food. Koukounaries beach is minutes away. The bus stop is very close to walk to which you can take into town easily and get to airport.

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.
The location is very good, you can walk to Koukounaries beach and even to the beaches near Mandraki forest (we took the car since we were with our 3-year-old, but there were many people walking to those beaches).
The room we had at the top floor had an amazing view, the beds were comfortable. The hotel has 2 restaurants 2 minutes away and many others 10-15 minutes away by foot.
The playground was also useful for us.
The clothes rack broke during our stay and the staff immediately repaired it, Dorina and Eugen were prompt and ready to help.
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.
The accommodation is situated in a quiet environment surrounded by a large garden with beautiful pine trees. The noise of the main road can almost not be heard at all. The room was well equipped and had a pleasant temperature. Koukounaries beach is easily approachable on foot through the trail along Strophilia lake. There are plenty of restaurants nearby as well as a supermarket. Bus stop 24 is 1-2 mins on foot. The owner/cleaning lady was very nice.
The villa is located on a side street, away from the noise of the main road. The triple room easily accommodates a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 young children). It is clean and we had towels changed and the room cleaned every 2 days. It has a small outdoor space, which we found useful. It is close to Koukounaries beach, a mere 10 minute walk through the reserve. It was our second stay here and would definitely come back.
Mandraki was an amazing hotel! I emailed the hotel prior to arriving, and the staff was prompt in responding and were very helpful. From the moment I arrived, everything was wonderful. It’s a beautiful property, my room was so comfortable and quiet. The restaurant has excellent food. Koukounaries beach is minutes away. The bus stop is very close to walk to which you can take into town easily and get to airport.
The Village is about 10 minutes walk from the very beautiful Koukounaries Beach. Next door are a couple of nice restaurants as well. Mandraki has a nice open air restaurant/bar that serves also a good breakfast. The garden is quite pretty 😍 There is a second Restaurant on the top floor with fancy meals. There is also a Pizza oven by the pool and once a week they have open air cinema (we watched Mama Mia 😊).
The hotel is perfectly located with access to 4 beautiful sandy beaches. You don't have to worry about finding space on the beach no matter how late you go.
The whole area is very green and gives you the opportunity to properly relax.
The Grace rooms are spacious, well arranged and with beautiful terraces overlooking the sea.
All beach bars are very nice with large sunbeds and friendly staff.
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.
The host was extremely nice and helpful. Rooms were cleaned every two days and we got new towels every two days too. It was very quiet and peaceful but at the same time only 10 minute walk from Koukounaries beach and 20-30 minute easy walk through pine forest to some of the more secluded beaches like Madraki and Elia beach.
We stayed two nights in Maistrali Studios. Excellent location very close (walking distance) to Strofilia Lake and to Koukounaries-Banana beaches and to some nearby good restaurants. The aircondition of the room was very good and efficient. Good thing is also that the owners have a little cozy bar in the backyard.
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.
Close to Koukounaries beach, good food at their tavern and close to 2 minimarkets and some restaurants. Also, the bus stop near by was very useful. The towels were changed every 2 days and the bedsheets every 4 days.
The location of the hotel is the amazing with the best beaches available to the residents.
The breakfast is excellent with breathtaking views and the most of the hotel's staff is very friendly.
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.
Beautiful hotel, with a panoramic view of the beach, sea and mountains.
Lots of choice at breakfast and handy they provide free shuttle buses to the airport and beaches.
