| Paradise hotel, Vasilias beach, Skiathos, Sporades Islands, Greece
LOCATION INFORMATION
When God
created the Sporades Islands scattered like a broken necklace
across the aquamarine Aegean Sea he reserved a special part
for Skiathos. High above the sea, where the dark green pines
meet the broom, wild flowers and olive trees, the land flattens
out. Katsarou it is called. The panoramic views across the small,
green islands towards Skopelos in one direction and Greek mainland
in the other are breathtaking. Some would call it paradise here
and now.
Vaios
Iconomou the Hotel Paradise owner, certainly thought so 12 years
ago, when he built Skiathos Paradise hotel. |
|
| During
the hot summer days, as you walk through the main entrance or
stroll on the terrace, you can see that the name Hotel Paradise
is just perfect. Near the hotel is Skiathos town and port, just
2 miles away, where all the shops and night life are to be found.
Hotel Paradise Skiathos is surrounded with pine and olive trees,
if you feel like swimming Vasilias Beach is about 5 minutes
walk away. Also near Paradise hotel there is a mini market for
all the necessities. |
