Mystery Skiathos Luxury Residence

Wonderful oasis tucked above the charming old town of Skiathos. Easy walk to everything including the harbor. The owners, Katerina and Thomas, are the heart and sole of this beautiful collection of townhomes/hotel. Very helpful and knowledgeable about Skiathos. We stayed in a two bedroom, two bathroom townhome with living area with a private rooftop terrace with loungers and hot tub. Friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms with thoughtful extras. Beautiful poolside breakfast was included daily (yogurt with local honey is a must) they also have a charming restaurant "Saveur" offering lunch and dinner with traditional Greek fare. We will definitely come back!

Where to start?! The management are first class, when you read that they can't do enough for their guests, believe it. From helping with advice on excursions to making sure all the family are happy, including a teenage daughther (!) They really are very good hosts. The hotel is super clean, friendly and ideally located for Skiathos Town itself and all the boat trips, jeep hires etc that make a family holiday wonderful. The food at the hotel is top notch, with traditional family recipes thrown in for good measure. We 100% recommend this hotel for a memorable stay in Skiathos. Beautiful.

We have recently returned from the Mystery Skiathos Luxury Residence in Skiathos town. The hotel is small which allows for a very personal and friendly a**osphere. The suite we stayed in overlooked the pool and had a separate lounge area with wet bar. We thoroughly enjoyed our week there . The breakfast was excellent and the night we ate dinner there was superb. Katarina, the hotel manager and all her staff were friendly, professional and helpful throughout our stay. Katarina even picked us up from the airport and drove us back to the airport at the end of our holiday. Skiathos town and the island is picture perfect. We loved everything about our week there and hope to return again in the future.

We should have stayed at Mystery Hotel for four nights following a visit to Athens, Alonissos and Skopelos, however Storm Daniel ruined our plans and we decided to stay longer in Skopelos and reduce our stay in Skiathos to one night, which was the day before we flew back to the UK. How disappointed we felt, after being shown our beautiful suite with hot tub, when we realised what we were going to be missing! After an early and delicious breakfast we departed to the airport. We are now planning to return to Skiathos next summer for a week and will definitely book this wonderful hotel.

This was my third time staying at the mystery and my family has a good relationship with the staff since my parents got married when they were staying in this hotel in 2019. Then we returned in 2021 and came back this year. Good things about the mystery Lots of choice for breakfast. The room was great and had a lovely view from the balcony over the town. The pool area is nice with a shady area. The location is great because it is only a 10 minute walk from the town. The staff were amazing with the kids and are very kind. The pool is great for kids and isn’t too deep. Not so good things about the mystery We went with a baby so it was hard to get up the steps as we were staying right at the top of the hotel. There wasn’t much choice for dinner as a picky eater, but atleast had a few things.

Like the previous reviewer, we too had a holiday of two halves - 4 days of beautiful sunshine, and 4 days of the worst storms that the island has experienced for generations. The hotel is run by Katerina and Tomas, along with their small staff. Everyone is so lovely, and can’t do enough to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Our hot tub room was great, with beautiful views across the town. The beds and pillows where comfortable, and the room was cleaned every day (even during the emergency when the whole island had no running water!). During the first few days, we enjoyed delicious meals by the pool, served by the wonderful Irene. We hired a car, and had some great days out on the other side of the island. Skiathos town is within easy walking distance and we enjoyed our evenings strolling around town, eating in some of the wonderful restaurants around the old port. During the emergency period, when we were under curfew, Katerina kept everything going - she fed us all, the rooms were cleaned, she reassured everyone, swapped and changed rooms around, juggling cancellations and making space for those of us whose flights were cancelled- nothing short of amazing! Thank you to you all for looking after us so well. And to anyone who is thinking twice about going to Skiathos after the storm….. go! Mystery is a modern building and was not affected by the storm. The Greek people really are remarkable - a fantastic clean up job is well underway and Skiathos is ready & waiting to receive tourists ❤️.

We stayed at Mystery Skiathos luxury residence for my sons wedding Katrina was fantastic she couldn’t have been more accommodating. The rooms are big and really nice, the pool is lovely and the food and drinks at the pool bar are great. It is about a 10 minute stroll to Skiathos town but really quiet at night. Do not hesitate to book here I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. Thanks for everything Katrina and all your staff.

Just spent two weeks at this delightful boutique hotel. Katerina & her team could not have been more welcoming, helpful and professional. Breakfast and afternoon cocktails around the private pool were particularly enjoyable. Well located just 5 mins transfer from airport and a 5 min walk (on the flat) to the old port and restaurants in the centre of Skiathos town. As per other reviews the hotel provides a calm oasis from the vibrant town centre. Local Water taxis to the islands beaches are €6 and great fun. The v efficient Skiathos buses, are only €2 and it's only a short walk from the hotel to the bus stop. We have no hesitancy recommending the hotel and we will be back ! Andrew & Rebecca

We arrived in Skiathos the day after the horrific storms that decimated parts of Skiathos. It was late as our flights had been delayed. We were tired and hungry. Katerina the manager made sure we had a lovely dinner and settled us into our suite. Due to the weather some of our plans needed adjus**ent and Katerina sat up with us, booking flights and offering suggestions. Every member of staff were friendly and helpful. Irena was always ready to help and Katerina went above and beyond. Our stay was a real pleasure
