Efrosini meldde zich onmiddellijk na aankomst. Overal stonden schaaltjes met bloemen, er lag fruit op de schaal, er was koffie en thee voor de eerste avond. In de koelkast stonden schaaltjes yoghurt klaar en we werden meteen getrakteerd op door haar zelf klaargemaakte Dolmades. Ook mochten we genieten van verse eitjes van haar eigen kippen. Wat een feest om zo verwelkomd te worden. Het appartement was eenvoudig, schoon en voorzien van alles wat je nodig hebt. Wij hebben genoten van ons verblijf!

(La fille d'Efrosini parle francais.) Efrosini and her daughter Eva were very welcoming and helpful (taxi bookings, scooter rental, laundry, advice for places to eat and visit...). The house is small but very enjoyable, with its open terrasse and beautiful garden. Aspous (the village) has a nice beach, a good restaurant and a few basic shops, and is a good base to visit the island, which offers, beyond Skyros city, enough beaches, hiking trails, villages, tavernas, museums and sites to keep you excited for a week and probably way more. We will definitely be back.

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans le magnifique jardin d'Efrosini. Ces 10 jours ont été calmes et reposants avec l' accueil chaleureux d'Efrosini nous avons été comblés. Skyros est une ile authentique encore préservée avec des plages très variées. Il faut louer une voiture pour découvrir toutes les richesses de cette île.

Prévenance et gentillesse, cadre super.

Skyros est une ile pleine de charmes sur laquelle il est essentiel d'être véhiculé. Aspous, le "village" d'Efrosini, bien qu'en devenir (ce n'est ni plus ni moins que la route principale autour de laquelle se construit progressivement un village) est cependant idéalement situé sur l'ile, car Nord et Sud ont leurs trésors gardés. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez Efrosini. Nous avions loué les 3 (toutes identiques) maisons si bien que nous n'avions pas à partager notre partie du jardin (l'autre partie étant celle d'Efrosini). Nous avons pu y faire quelques diners, Efrosini nous ayant prêté un barbecue. dans l'ensemble Efrosini et sa fille nous ont beaucoup aidé (location voitures, trip tips etc). Au final, nous y avons passé 15 jours très agréables !

La casa è un piccolo gioiello: pulitissima, accogliente e tenuta in condizioni perfette da Efrosini che è davvero una persona deliziosa. Ospitale e allo stesso tempo discreta, è sempre a disposizione per qualsiasi richiesta. Siamo stati lì per una settimana in 4 (due adulti e 2 bambini di 4 e 5 anni) e ci siamo trovati molto bene. L'interno non è particolarmente spazioso ma è perfetto per una vacanza al mare. Inoltre viene regolarmente pulito e ogni tre giorni vengono cambiate lenzuola ed asciugamani. Il giardino è ben curato e ogni giorno raccoglievamo fichi dagli alberi e pomodori, melanzane e peperoni dall'orto. Al mattino, ci svegliavamo sentendo i suoni dalla montagna che sta alle spalle della casa, popolata da capre e cavalli. Efrosini il primo giorno ci ha regalato due vasetti di marmellate fatte da lei...deliziose. La casa è vicino alla spiaggia di Aspous e centrale rispetto a tutto ciò che la bellissima isola di Skyros offre: le bellissime spiagge, la meravigliosa città vecchia, gli ottimi ristoranti.

We felt at home. Efrosini is a beautiful person who welcomed us as a part of her family. She is kind and full of attentions with her guests, but also very discreet and quite. The studio is very nice and clean and the location is strategic to discover the island from the north to the south. We will come back for sure!

Superbe séjour dans ce petit coin de paradis Efrosini est au petit soin et son jardin en bord de mer est une merveille !!! Je vous le conseille les yeux fermés !

Schon die vielen aussagekräftigen Bilder sagen einiges über dieses wunderschöne App. aus, wie schön es wirklich ist muss man erleben. Der liebevoll gepflegte Garten, der wunderschöne Pool mit dem atemberaubenden Blick, die hochwertige und komfortable Ausgestattung des App. und vor Allem die so aufmerksamen, zauberhaften Vermieter Viola und Kosta, die alles tun damit der Aufenthalt einfach nur schön ist. Wer absolute Ruhe und traumhafte Natur liebt, wird sich hier pudelwohl fühlen. Wir hatten wie empfohlen einen Geländewagen gemietet. Ein guter Fahrer schafft die Anfahrt zum Haus sicherlich auch in einem anderen Auto, allerdings gibt es auf Skyros viele Wege für welche man definitiv einen braucht, also schade wenn man keinen hat. Die Insel bietet viele wunderschöne kleine Kapellen, tolle Wandermöglichkeiten,wenig nicht-griechische Touristen und von daher extrem leckeres wirklich griechisches Essen und überall freundliche Menschen. Viele tolle Badebuchten, sowohl Sandstrände als auch Kies. Wir waren fast vier Wochen im Haus Bougainvillea und haben jede Minute genossen. Mit Sicherheit werden wir an diesen traumhaften Ort zurückkehren! Viola und Kosta, danke für die wunderbare Zeit bei euch!

We had a wonderful vacation on Skyros. We (a couple) stayed in the little house and really enjoyed the paradise that Kostas and Viola has created. We picked all kinds of vegetables and fruits from the organic garden and we were hanging out by the pool. The view is spectacular and even better than the pictures on airbnb. The place is rather remote (approx 5-7 min drive on a private dirt road) and we rented a car in order to get around - to go shopping and go for dinners, and to see the island. However, the place is so nice you really don't need to go anywhere. Kostas was staying in the big house when we were there, and he was a great host. He honored our privacy and recommended restaurants and beaches. He even arranged a barbecue one evening upon our request. The Skyros night sky is really amazing and we spend several hours gazing for stars and satellites. We can really recommend Skyros island. The people are very welcoming, friendly and service minded, and the food is really good.

We had such a pleasant time in Pefkos : the place is incredible, the vew is amaizing, the swimming pool is incredible, the houses are warm, very nice and well equiped (like home). We took the 2 houses to be alone in the middle of the nature. What a good choice !

We had a marvellous time during our two weeks and a half stay. The property is really luxurious, in a quite area immersed in nature. The pictures are very accurate. We had been dreaming of the pool after booking, and the reality was even better. We haven't seen much Viola as she was abroad, but we had an excellent interaction with Costas who was in the main house of the property. He was both very discrete and very efficient whenever we needed something. In a word, we highly recommend this property.

Viola und Costa haben in Pefkos ein kleines Paradies geschaffen! Wir verbrachten 10 Tage auf dieser freundlichen Insel und haben jeden einzelnen sehr genossen. In dem kleinen Häuschen findet man alles was man benötigt, eine Kochmöglichkeit, ein geräumiges Bad, ein gemütliches Bett (auch eines für unseren 7 Monate alten Sohn) und im Ganzen ein sehr gemütliches Flair! Das Grundstück ist wirklich toll, überall eine wahnsinnig schöne Aussicht. Vor allem natürlich vom Pool, welches überhaupt einer unserer Lieblingsplätze war!! Obwohl wir schon außerhalb der Urlaubssaison auf Skyros waren, gab es genug Leben auf der Insel: ein sehr gut ausgestatteter Supermarkt nicht weit weg, wirklich gute Tavernen und vieles mehr... Der Hausherr hat uns super betreut, mit Tipps und frischer Wäsche versorgt...vielen Dank Costa!

Tout d’abord un grand merci à Viola et Costa pour leur accueil chaleureux qui nous a été démontré dès notre arrivée! En effet, nous avons atterri à Skyros très tôt le matin (8h30) et notre hôte Costa été déjà à l’aéroport pour nous accueillir. Quel départ… Nos hôtes se sont rendus disponibles tout le long de notre séjour et n’ont pas hésité à nous recommander certaines endroits ou activités surplace. Le quartier été magnifique. Nous étions entourés de la nature ainsi que d’une magnifique vu sur la mer. Les photos parlent d’elles-mêmes, c’est un bel endroit. Nous avons choisi ce lieu pour notre lune de miel et nous ne sommes aucunement déçus. Nous pensons déjà y retourné…

Пожалуй это лучшее место для проведения свадебного путешествия! Потрясающие виды, уединенное расположение, все условия комфорта. Бассейн-просто что-то!!! Потрясающий личный уютный пляж! Все фотографии очень точно соответствуют действительности! Напротив виллы таверна с очень вкусной едой, но идти пешком минут 20. Продуктовых магазинов в пешей доступности нетОтдельное спасибо хочется сказать хозяину-Костасу за заботу, помощь! Оперативные ответы, всегда на связи, забрал с аэропорта, по окончанию отпуска отвез в аэропорт. Конечно, лучше брать машину в аренду, но мы справлялись и без нее.

Danke, danke für die schönste Zeit im Jahr die wir bei euch verbringen durften. Alles entsprach der Beshreibungen. Euer Domizil ist wirklich wunderschön gelegen und bietet 100% Erholung, sehr ruhig gelegen, imposante Aussicht, keine Nachbarn und ein traumhafter Nachthimmel. Und ja, man benötigt ein 4x4 Fahrzeug,die 1,8 Km lange Zufahrt zum Haus ist mit einem normalen Auto nicht zu schaffen :-( aber das ist ein Erlebnis. Alles sehr gepflegt und funktioniell. Von uns aus eine volle Empfehlung wert!

Άμεση επικοινωνία, φιλικοί και φιλόξενοι άνθρωποι! Αυτό που είναι αξιοσημείωτο είναι η άψογη καθαριότητα και τα εδέσματα της κ. Μαριάννας! Εννοείται πως θα επιστρέψουμε!

Ka Eleni is a lovely adorable lady, that welcomes you and makes you feel at home and is there for everything you might need. The situation of Nyfi is very good, as it is in a green space, with a little beach right under, very quiet and 15 minutes from the Hora with the scooter.

L'accoglienza e la disponibilità per ogni nostra esigenza è stata ottima. L'abitazione , arredata in stile proprio di Skyros ,molto confortevole sia all'interno che nelle pertinenze esterne e nel circondario .

Chara was a wonderful host. She was very gentle and friendly,always available when we needed her. She even offered us a bottle of wine! The house is exactly as shown in the listing, simple but very clean and tidy. The most important is that its 2' walk from the Chora centre and very close to the main parking. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a simple and central and budget place to stay Thank you Chara :-)

Η ελληνική φιλοξενία στο μέγιστο, τα χαιρετίσματά μου στους καλύτερους οικοδεσπότες ever!

Σε απόσταση αναπνόης από το κέντρο, αλλά και μακριά από τη φασαρία του κεντρικού δρόμου. Γραφικότατη τοποθεσία με υπέροχη θέα στο μοναστήρι. Μικρό αλλά άνετο με βολική διαρύθμιση του χώρου. Τα παιδιά πολύ φιλόξενα και με πολλές συμβουλές για το αποκριάτικο καρναβάλι, το φαγητό και τη ζωή της Σκύρου. Πολύ κατατοπιστικοί και βοηθητικοί!

Chara made us very welcome at her house in Skyros. All was as expected, clean and functional. We felt included in the local community and everyone was very friendly. the location was perfect for the town and all facilities in close walking distance.

Skyros is most famous for its beauty and the narrow cobbled streets, but its most precious gift is the wonderful sense of community that flows through those same streets, from the greeting of a resident as you pass in the street, to the joy of watching village life in the central square as you sip your morning coffee. Eleimonitria house lies in the heart of Skyros, not far from the main street that is the centre of the community. Chara and her husband Manolis are superb hosts; friendly and extremely helpful with excellent English. This is a rare opportunity to experience real village life with caring hosts in a beautiful setting. I enjoyed it immensely.

Pre-arrival communication was friendly and thorough. By the time I arrived I felt she was a friend. The reality was even better. She was just the right amount of lovely and was informative and accommodating. Nestled in the gently sloping cobbled streets of the old town this traditional little house gave us exactly what we needed. The house felt as though the owner had just stepped out for a while and the cosy intimate space showed a personal life and not the clinical unloved atmosphere of impersonal hotel rooms. It was very clean and had everything we would need to utilise the house well (washing up liquid, soap, shampoo etc). The little balcony with views of the monastery and traditional old Skyrian houses was well used for breakfast and in the evening and my friends holiday was made complete by the joyful sounds of the nearby cockerel. For me, it was the fragrant jasmine bushes which gave scent throughout the night. If you are looking for a luxury hotel room, this is not for you but if you are looking for a characterful, rustic charming home from home then this offers incredible value for money and practical living. As the old town has no cars, the house is also ideally situated for the car park and is in easy driving distance from all the beautiful beaches. A few intimate streets away Chara can be found in her lovely shop so you can get all the local information on the best places to visit and eat. A magical stay.

Séjour parfait chez Chara. L'appartement est très bien. Au centre de la ville. Un accueil chaleureux. Je recommande cet endroit. Des super hôtes

Chara was extremely pleasant and efficient, and communication was excellent. The house has plenty of traditional character and is in a great location in the centre of the village.

Kostas ist ein überaus freundlicher gastgeber. Er hat mich vom hafen abgeholt, haben uns sofort super unterhalten. Er spricht hervorragend deutsch. Das appartement ist super romantisch und genau richtig für 1 person wenn man eine auszeit braucht!

Netter geht es nicht. Klein, mit allem, was man braucht und einer winzigen idyllischen schattigen Terrasse. Mitten im alten verschachtelten Inselstädtchen, aber ganz ruhig, nicht weit vom Zentrum und nicht weit vom Strand. Alle paar Tage gibt es frische Wäsche. Die Gastgeber haben mich vom Flughafen abgeholt und sich um alles perfekt und sehr persönlich gekümmert. So zeigt sich eine griechische Insel von seiner authentischen besten Seite.

Kostas and his apartment were amazing. The room is small but perfect for a single person. it has a lovely porch an a balcony with a good view, as well as internet, airconditioning, and a fully functional little kitchenette to make your own food. It is also really well located, just on the side of town far enough from the loud bars but still only a 4 minute walk from the main square. Everything as clean, beautiful, and worked well. Kostas was also very hospitable and helpful. He picked me up from the airport, gave me plenty of suggestions for my stay, answered all of my annoying questions immediately on the airbnb app, and over all was a great host. For its price, i could not recommend it more highly!

Excellent accommodation. Perfectly located, ideal for a long stay. Kostas is very welcoming. I highly recommend !

Alles perfekt! Das Zimmer (sehr sauber und vollausgerüstet), die Terrasse (ruhig und sonnig), die Lage (schnell am Meer und ein Katzensprung vom lebendigen Platia) , der Preis und der Gastgeber, Kostas, sehr hilfbereit und sehr nett. Gerne wieder bei meinem nächsten Aufenthalt in Skyros!

The studio at Kochilia is the perfect lair for a week’s – and surely more- total unplugging from the bustle of city life, albeit with speedy Internet if need be. I felt perfectly at home in this sweet little place, with lots of windows – so much so there was no need for the air-conditionning – and a great view at dawn or dusk from the rooftop, as well as a lovely, shady cocoon of a quiet terrace where I had meals – no problems at all cooking there when I started dabbling with local produce - and even worked a bit. Costas arranges to have the apartement cleaned every few days, rubbish is removed for you - clean sheets, soaps, loo paper, towels are provided and Costas even gave me a dishcloth after asking if I needed anything. He was also very flexible about everything to do with arrangements and organization before my arrival. As other guests have said, the studio is brillianted located, and Costas made me feel welcome right from the start, picking me up at the airport, driving me back, showing me lovely parts of the island in-between, and we happily chatted in English - and a bit in French too ;-) Very impressive all in all, a perfect week. The island itself is a joy to discover and will no doubt work its magic upon you as well. I can’t wait to go back … Le petit appartement du complexe Kochilia, rénové par Costas dans le style architectural et décoratif de l’île, est le parfait endroit pour déconnecter, tout en ayant une super connection wifi si besoin. Superbe base également pour explorer le village et le dédale des ruelles, absolument magique, et cette île splendide dans son ensemble– deux petites agences de location de voiture à 10mn à pied en allant vers la plage de Magazia. Le studio est très confortable, avec une petite terrasse ombragée au calme – dans une partie du village d’une sérénité absolue - où j’ai pris mes repas quand je n’étais pas invitée dans une taverna (!); la kitchenette est parfaitement fonctionnelle, les draps, serviettes de toilette changés pendant la semaine et Costas m’a même apporté un torchon après m’avoir demandé s’il manquait quelque chose. Il est venu me chercher au petit aéroport, m’y a reconduite, ce qui est super pratique car les bus ne sont pas si fréquents, et m’a même fait visiter d’adorables petits ports sur l’île. Que dire de plus, si ce n’est que j’ai hâte d’y retourner…

Perfeklt läge, lugnt men nära till centrum. 15 min promenad till stranden. Kostas gav bra anvisningar om affärer, restaurangen mm. Hämtade och lämnade vid flyget. Mycket nmöjd!

Mr Kostas made us feel welcome -his friendly reception is actually the definition of "philoxenia"! We had an excellent communication before and during my stay; Mr Kostas -a host with excellent communication and multiple language skills- answered all my questions in detail before and during my stay! {Thank you very much for everything} The room is cozy and well equipped; it has everything you need (plus: speedy Internet connection) and it is located near "Magazia" beach (10 min on foot) and near the main square of "Chora"! There is a beautiful,small terrace where you can enjoy your morning coffee or the soft rustling of leaves in the wind in the night! My overall experience was really pleasant and I would love to stay there again! +Skyros is such a beautiful island!

Very lovely house and people. Ariadni wants to please and comfort her guests and she certainly succeeded with us. Map and possiblility for guided walks are an extra bonus.

Πολυ ομορφος και προσεγμενος χωρος.Με ιδιωτικο παρκινγκ και κοντα σε σουπερμαρκετ και εστιατορια.Βρισκεται αναμεσα στην χωρα της Σκυρου και το λιμανι και σου δινει μια ευκολη προσβαση σε ολο το νησι.Οσο για την αυλη του, πραγματικα δεν την χορταινεις. Ενας παραδεισος.

Πολύ ομορφο σπίτι. Τα πάντα προσεγμένα μέχρι και την τελευταία λεπτομέρεια. Ο οικοδέσποινα πολύ φιλικό,ευγενικός και εξυπηρέτησης.θα ξαναερχουμε σίγουρα!!!!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful this vacation was. The place is ideal for a family stay - clean, quiet, beautiful surroundings, sitting literally on the beach, yet close to the local town, shops and restaurants. Very convenient. The host met us at the ferry landing, took us to the house, showed and explained everything what we might possibly need. Anastasia made herself always available in case of questions, but the place was already perfect for us, so no other questions did arise. We send our gratitude and best wishes to Anastasia, thank you for the great stay.

Anastasia's house on Aspous beach is the perfect location for relaxing holidays. The place is quiet, clean, and has everything (fully equipped kitchen, things for the beach: umbrella, chairs, towels, a very nice garden etc.). We arrived by plane and took a rental car for the duration of our stay. Anastasia met us at the house, explained everything, and provided us with fresh fruits and drinks. During our stay she was always available online and gave us tips and recommendations for restaurants, places for swimming, etc. The place is ideally located not far from the main town, supermarket, and restaurants. Our holidays were simply perfect, we wish all the best to Anastasia and hope to come back soon.

A great place to stay

The house we spend our Easter vacation's was fantastic,very traditional and with a lot of comfort's. Giorgos is a very friendly housekeeper the meaning of Greek hospitality, he assist us in any way and the experience staying in his house was unique. The house is in the center of Skyros near to any sightseeing's but also is in a very quiet neighborhood ideal for relaxing.

Anna and her mother Maria were exceptional hosts from the time before we booked until after we left Skyros island. Anna was extremely helpful, courteous and kind all during our stay and we were fortunate enough to enjoy Maria's outstanding Greek generosity through precious homemade delicacies. The house is a lovely traditional home, very tastefully decorated, clean and comfortable. The bedroom is very nice with its beautiful wood carved bed and the kitchen is big and roomy. We loved spending mornings having breakfast on the beautiful veranda (with Maria's fruit, jam and cakes) and star gazing on the romantic rooftop terrace at night. There is a hammock for resting, plenty of sweet figs to pick and the added pleasure of the Skyriotian horses right next to the property. The beach, supermarket and even a wonderful restaurant Ashimenos are all within walking distance. Skyros is a beautiful island and the pearl is Anna and Maria's traditional home and their outstanding hospitality!!

Το σπίτι και η αυλή πολύ όμορφα, σε μια ήσυχη γειτονιά. Εξαιρετική φιλοξενία, αληθινή που δεν έχει να κάνει με τουριστικές τυπικότητες. Η οικοδέσποινα μας έκανε να νοιώσουμε άνετα, μας ετοίμαζε καθημερινά πρωινό παρότι δεν ήταν στις υποχρεώσεις της, μας βοήθησε με χαρά σε ότι ζητήσαμε. Θα ξαναπηγαίναμε οπωσδήποτε, το συστήνουμε ανεπιφύλακτα.

Το σπίτι είναι υπέροχο!!! Βρίσκεται σε μια ήσυχη περιοχή, με ανοιχτωσιά, όμορφη θέα και μόλις 5 λεπτά από τη Χώρα! Η κυρία που μας υποδέχτηκε είναι χαμογελαστή και καλοσυνάτη και μας έκανε από την πρώτη στιγμή να νιώσουμε σαν στο σπίτι μας! Μας προσέφερε προϊόντα από τον κήπο της και μας κατατόπισε για το νησί! Πραγματικά χαρήκαμε τόσο πολύ το σπίτι που δεν μας έκανε κέφι να φύγουμε από αυτό!!!

It was the 2nd time we visited Skyros in order to attend the Carnival of the island. A unique experience that I definitely recommend for everybody, you get the feeling that Aristophanes will appear at a point in the fest and that things have not changed much from the ancient times… With respect to our stay at Giota’s place, the flat was very clean and cozy. Giota had clean sheets and towels waiting for us as well as an orange juice for the kids and two bottles of water in the fridge that were highly appreciated since we arrived at midnight… Giota was extremely kind and helpful, we did not get the opportunity to meet her personally but we spoke several times. Her son Manolis, was waiting for us at the Robert Brook Square. Our ferry was a bit late so we arrived close to midnight, Manolis (in his early 20’s) was patiently waiting for us (instead of having drinks with his mates and enjoying his holidays…) and even helped me with carrying the baggage (everyone with a baby of 2yrs and a kid of 5yrs old knows what I am talking about….) – a very polite and kind young lad. Giota’s flat is a traditional Skyrian home, small, cozy, very beautiful and well preserved. Giota, herself was very honest and kind and warned me that the flat could be small for us since it is perfect for accommodating a family of three but not four. I told her that we would bring our own cradle for the baby and thus the flat was sufficiently good for us. The flat is situated at the northern part of Chora and is very close (5 min walk) and also sufficiently isolated and calm from the center of Chora and the noise during the carnival days. The place is small and the bathroom is quite tiny but I would definitely recommend it for people who want to live the experience of staying at a traditional Skyrian house rather than a hotel room for a few days. We would definitely go back to Giota’s flat in case we take a weekend-off with my wife alone, however in case we go back the four of us during the carnival period next year… I guess it will be small for us because our daughter will not fit in a cradle anymore… To sum up, very nice place, well positioned, ideal for couples or families with one small kid that want to leave the experience of living in a traditional Skyrian house, very polite and helpful hosts, highly recommended from us! Thank you Giota and Manolis for your hospitality! Regards, Souzanna, Giannis, Eva & George

Απλά υπέροχο...
