Anthena Studios
Contemporary studios 300 metres from the harbor
About this hotel
Anthena Studios sits close enough to Skiathos Port, roughly 300 metres, that the harbor's ferry horns and evening bustle are part of the backdrop rather than a distant echo. The studios themselves lean contemporary, earthy decoration with a kitchenette featuring cooking facilities, an electric kettle and fridge, plus an LCD TV and safe in every unit. Balconies look either over the sun terrace and pool or toward the town, and the colourful bathrooms come with a hairdryer as standard. A snack bar covers breakfast and light meals, with restaurants and bars within easy walking distance for evenings. Common areas stay simple rather than elaborate, in keeping with the size of the property. None of this is flashy, but it covers what a short island stay actually needs.

- Near the harbor
Our take
This suits travelers who want to be genuinely close to the port without paying harbor-front prices, given the short 300-metre distance. The kitchenette adds self-catering flexibility for longer stays. Anyone sensitive to noise should ask about room position, given the proximity to the town's busier evening streets. It is a straightforward, honest fit for the right traveler rather than a fit for everyone.
- ✓Ask for a pool-facing balcony if the outlook matters more than a town view.
- ✓Use the kitchenette for breakfast to skip the snack bar queue on busy mornings.
- ✓Walk to the port in the evening, it's close enough to watch the last ferry arrivals.

Why guests love itAnthena Studios makes sense for families catching ferries, since Skiathos Port is 300 metres away and arrival days stay simple. Each studio has a kitchenette for breakfasts and easy suppers, plus air-conditioning and a balcony over the sun terrace or the town. The swimming pool gives children a place to swim on days without a beach trip, and the snack bar covers quick lunches. I would choose it as a practical town base rather than a resort.
