We stayed in Skiathos Town last September - Hotel Oro - about 5-10 minutes walk into the main area of town. Had a pool - only a small pool but the hotel only had about 15 rooms so we never had any bother getting one of the few sunbeds, especially later in the afternoon.

Sister-in-law and her partner stayed in the La Piscine Art hotel - about the same distance to the centre of town and had a much larger pool and surrounding area.

Get yourself along to the Mylos Tavern (old windmill, right on the edge of the bay) and watch the planes coming in to land or take-off. They're only about 40/50 metres directly above you - it's quite an experience!

We stayed at Villa Apollon in Achladies. Studio apartments with a lovely pool and fabulous views. Next to bus stop and close to the beach where there is a regular water taxi into Skiathos town.
A few nice tavernas locally and there was a lovely one right up in the hills that would come and pick you up and bring you back.

Have a look at Megali Ammos it’s a fifteen/ twentyminute walk into the town harbours. The beach at Megali is ok with several great tavernas. The bus service is very good if you want to visit other beaches.
We stay in the town itself but are not bothered about a pool. We visit the beaches. Flights to Skiathos are not cheap mind but we think prices are ok once you’re there.

I wouldn’t worry too much about getting a hotel out of the very centre, in fact it’s probably preferable. You can easily walk from the Megali Ammos area to Skiathos town and back for a night time. Even if you get a hotel further out, there’s a water taxi.
Would also second those saying Tsilivi in zakynthos. That particular area is quiet during the day with a good nightlife if you like a nice meal and a few beers. The main beach is opposite Kefalonia with great views of that island. It’s also pretty much one of the hottest Greek islands going.

Do you prefer skiathos town to Kos town?
 
I went to Hersonnisoss when there was only one taxi.

The vicious git would not take us up the hill to our villa.
 
i'm off for my first visit to the Greek Isalnds in September at the rand old age of 52.

No idea why I've never been before like as I love Greek food.

Mind you I've seen the place called three different things, Zante, Zakynthos and Kalamaki so nee idea where it is :lol: :lol:
