Skiathos Senses
A fitness centre alongside the pool and beach
About this hotel
Skiathos Senses pairs its family rooms, complete with a tea and coffee maker and minibar, with a genuine fitness centre, an amenity most of the town's aparthotels skip entirely. The seasonal outdoor pool and sun terrace cover the relaxation side, while the fitness room suits travelers who want to keep up a routine even on a beach holiday. A lounge area adds an indoor gathering spot beyond the rooms themselves. Skiathos Plakes Beach sits under a kilometre away, with the airport roughly two kilometres beyond that, and attractions including Papadiamantis' House within easy reach. 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.

Our take
This suits travelers who want to maintain a fitness routine alongside a beach stay, a combination rarely offered in Skiathos Town's smaller aparthotels. The proximity to Plakes Beach adds real daily convenience. Anyone wanting a harbour-front position with restaurants directly outside should note this sits a short walk from the old town's core. It is a straightforward, honest fit for the right traveler rather than a fit for everyone.
- ✓Use the fitness centre in the morning before the day's heat sets in.
- ✓Walk to Skiathos Plakes Beach for the daily swim, it's under a kilometre from the property.
- ✓Relax in the lounge area on evenings when the terrace feels too warm.

Why guests love itSkiathos Senses gives families a seasonal outdoor pool and a sun terrace, with Skiathos Plakes Beach under a kilometre away for sea days. Family rooms have balconies, air-conditioning, a minibar and a tea and coffee maker, handy for early starts with children. The on-site fitness centre is a useful extra, letting one parent train while the other watches the pool. I would choose it for active families who want a beach-and-pool routine.
