Meltemi
Beside the harbour, five minutes from the old town
About this hotel
Meltemi sits right next to Skiathos Town's harbour, a scenic position that puts the old town centre, with its fish taverns, bars and shops, a five-minute walk away. Rooms keep things simple, air conditioning and free WiFi throughout, a fridge and TV in each unit with a private bathroom fitted with a shower and hairdryer. Staff can arrange car rental directly and offer guidance on reaching Koukounaries Beach, roughly ten kilometres down the coast, along with Skiathos Airport just two kilometres away. Couples in particular tend to rate the location highly for a two-person trip. 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.
- Harbour-side location
- Near fish taverns
- Car rental assistance
- Close to the airport
Our take
This suits travelers who want to be right beside the harbour with the old town's dining scene a five-minute walk away, without paying for a full old-town-lane position. The car rental assistance adds real convenience for day trips. Anyone wanting a pool or extensive on-site amenities should look toward a larger aparthotel instead. It is a straightforward, honest fit for the right traveler rather than a fit for everyone.
- ✓Ask staff about car rental early if planning a Koukounaries day trip, they can arrange it directly.
- ✓Walk the five minutes into the old town for dinner rather than relying on harbour-front options alone.
- ✓Book a room away from the harbour side if noise from evening boat traffic is a concern.

Why guests love itMeltemi sits next to the harbour in Skiathos Town, a five-minute walk from the old town centre, with fish tavernas, bars and shops close by, so dinners with children need no transport. Rooms are air-conditioned with a fridge and TV. Staff can arrange car rental and advise on Koukounaries Beach, about ten kilometres away. No pool or kids' facilities are listed, so I see it as a lively harbour base. It is rated 8.5 from 296 reviews.
