Villa Maraki

We stayed in a typical Greek one bedroomed apartment. A lovely size for the 2 of us, with a table and chairs, a sofa bed, kitchen area with toaster, kettle, 'fridge and a stove with 2 cooking rings. Off our bedroom was a balcony with views across the sea. A small but adequate bathroom. Bedding and towels were changed every 3 days but you can ask to have them changed before then if you require. Pool area was kept lovely and clean; it was a shame that there are only 12 sun beds and the pool isn't very big. On the plus side, the beach is just across the road and you can hire 2 sun beds with a table and parasol for 15 Euros per day. A bus stop is just down the road from the Villa, Number 16, where you can catch a bus for 2 Euros to Skiathos. The Pool Bar this year has been taken over by Eleftaria and Mel(?). They were so helpful and friendly and always spoke whenever they saw you. Food was great and the Pool Bar appeared to be well stocked. The whole area is served by plenty of restaurants at reasonable prices. Two in particular we enjoyed were "The View" and "Green Park" restaurants.There are also 3 supermarkets in the near vicinity. We thoroughly enjoyed our 10 days there. Thank you.

Didn’t actually stay here , but came for a drink at the bar most nights.the young couple running it are absolutely amazing people so friendly and welcoming good luck to them .the bar is very clean and has a wide selection of drinks the pool is very clean.

Lovely place to stay but even better was the hospitality of Nikos and his lovely family. Perfect hosts and a wonderful holiday. Perfect location with a great intimate feel around the pool and bar area. The food and drink were great too! Thanks my friends x

We had a fantastic stay here. Nicos and his wife are perfect hosts. Little touches like being welcomed with a drink while you get checked in and a shot with Nicos when you leave are nice touches. the beach is just over the road and some great places to eat within easy walking distance. The bus to Skiathis town is simple . Would highly recommend.

We stayed at Villa Maraki for a week at the end of August as a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children (15&9). The hotel is ideally located in Agia Paraskevi within very easy walking distance of the beach (directly opposite), lots of tavernas and bars. The room itself was clean and nicely set out with lots of wardrobe space. The shower was as in some Greek properties not fixed high on the wall to stand under (if that makes sense) but we had fallen foul of this last year so this year we took a very handy £4 suction shower head holder and positioned it ourselves. Plenty of hot water at all times of the day, plenty of towels, well stocked self catering kitchen area (full size fridge) and comfortable beds. Nicos and his wife are very friendly, helpful and always willing to assist. The pool area was spotless and the bar had a great range of drinks and food (homemade pizzas were fab) The only reason I have not marked this a 5 is due to the balcony. As we travelled self catering in the evenings we like to sit on the balcony with a drink, snacks and play cards with the kids but we struggled to sit two of us on this balcony and therefore couldn't use it. The pictures on JET2 when we booked do not show this and I guess that is down to JET2 not the hotel but I would have thought a family room for 4 would have a balcony to seat 4. Apart from that we would happily stay here again and would highly recommend.

Loved the apartment, it was clean, smelt fresh, great bed & bedding. Fantastic staff who were available 24hrs if needed. My only recommendation, is remember your USB socket, I forgot mine! There were no usb plugs in the apartment, I stayed in and not available when I asked. That was on me for forgetting, although feel its worth a mention. My visit was faultless and have no hesitation in booking again. Thank you for a wonderful stay 😊

Booked with Jet2 very good value for money deserves more than the 2 stars they have awarded it. The welcome from Elonda & Niko was warm and friendly the rooms are cleaned everyday and have great views out over the sea with a spacious balcony. Closest beach 5 mins walk and others within 30min walk. The village has ample restaurants if you don't want to leave and 3 supermarkets. Jimmy's Trevena next door is especially good and the prices are all much the same. The local bus stops just along the road 2 euros to travel either way, either to Skiathos Town which has a maze of beautiful traditional back street and a bustling and vibrant port area a must to visit if only once and the other way takes you the busiest beach on the island starts with a K sorry cant remember the name from which you can get a water taxi back to Skiathos Town. We will be back !!!!

It started with a warm, smiling welcome from Nikos and Aleona. The studio room was great and spacious. The room was equipped with everything that you would expect from a greek studio. The decor was fresh, and there were some nice homely touches, which was a good sign that they wanted you to have a great stay. The rooms were immaculately cleaned with frequent linen changes. There was always plenty of hot water. The pool and surrounding ar areas were always clean, and a nice mixture of loungers, chairs, and tables to suit eating, sitting for a drink, etc. The range of food was great for a pool bar. We only salad lunch or breakfast, but always tatsy and well presented. The bar was popular (not noisy), and there were lots of previous guests that could not get rooms came to use the bar because of the warm welcome. Nikos and Aleona clearly want everyone to have a great time in their own understated way. Hospitality at its best. A great relaxing location, 5 min walk to the beach with plenty of good tavernas to choose from nearby. Great and very frequent bus service for town and other beaches (€2 single) We will definitely be returning to Villa Maraki.

Nikos & Elona are lovely hosts and make you feel so welcome. We arrived to a complimentary Mythos which started our 10 day stay off perfectly. The pool is immaculate, the rooms are very clean and the bar area is buzzing but not loud. We loved the relax feel and no one reserving sun loungers!! We found a lot of people not staying at the hotel came to eat, drink and swim here because it’s the best in the area. It’s only a few minutes walk to the beach and I can recommend Bamboon bar for some lunch. There’s also a little shack on the beach for drinks, sandwiches, ice creams etc. she’s really reasonably priced and funny.. Fantastic holiday is all I can say :) thank you from Tom, Holly & Charlie
