Dome Island
Pool with a view and the beach right outside
About this hotel
Dome Island puts the pine-backed Troulos bay directly at the door, direct beachfront access paired with a swimming pool positioned to catch the same view for days when the sea itself picks up a light chop. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, and the family rooms and ground-floor units make the layout practical for groups who want to avoid stairs. The traditional restaurant serves Greek cuisine with vegetarian options across breakfast, brunch and lunch, meaning a full beach day can pass without needing to leave the property or reach for a car. 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.

- Swimming pool
- Lush garden and terrace
- Family rooms
Our take
Dome Island is my pick in Troulos when direct beach access matters most: the hotel sits on the sand, with a pool above the bay and ground-floor family units that avoid stairs. The Greek restaurant covers breakfast, brunch and lunch. Skiathos Town has far more choice in the evening, so anyone who wants a wide dining scene each night should plan on driving or taking the bus.
- ✓Swim in the morning if calm water matters, the bay can pick up a light chop by afternoon.
- ✓Book a ground-floor unit if traveling with young children or heavy luggage.
- ✓Eat at the on-site restaurant at least once, it saves a drive back from Koukounaries after a beach day.

Why guests love itDome Island stands directly on the beach at Troulos, and its ground-floor family units let children go from the room to the sand without stairs. A swimming pool overlooks the bay as an alternative to the sea, and there is a lush garden and terrace. The on-site Greek restaurant serves breakfast, brunch and lunch, with vegetarian options, so the middle of the day needs no car trip. Dinner is the meal to plan elsewhere.
