Sugar-cube-shaped houses snake up the hillside towards a Venetian castle in Chora, the main town on Skyros. Here, you’ll find plenty of the top hotels on the island, overlooking the sparkling Aegean Sea – plus, there are a few further afield, too. Book your stay at one of these hotels in Skyros now with Culture Trip.

If you’re looking for a quieter Greek island retreat, then Skyros is the place to book. Secluded beaches, a byzantine castle and endless hiking trails are among the highlights here. Chora, the island’s capital, is one of the most beautiful towns to visit on the island – and home to many top hotels. Bed down in one of these accommodation gems while you’re here.

The hotel boasts a number of traditionally decorated self-contained studios; some of the split-level ones have a fireplace for those colder winter months. Stroll through the beautifully manicured garden, or hang out by the pool. Come nightfall, it’s just a short walk to the nearby tavernas.

On top of this, beautiful Molos Beach, on the northeast side of the island, is only five minutes away. The hotel offers 14 double and triple rooms, all of which have their own entrance. Expect a laid-back vibe, huge pool and barbecue set up amongst the lush gardens. The seafood restaurant Psarotaverna Estiatorio O Stelios is close by – go for the lobster pasta.

Perched right on Linaria port, the Lykomides comprises two buildings overlooking the small but pretty harbour. It has 13 double and triple rooms, but families can stay in the separate Amyra apartment, which can host up to five people.
