Everything we love about our corner of the island — from the best sunset spots to where to find fresh fish, local honey, and hidden beaches.
Our apartments are located in the best two spots in Skala Maries, both being close to the beach and to the town centre, where you can find taverns and local shops.
Skala Maries — don't be surprised if you also hear it referred to as Skala Marion — started, like many other Greek attractions, as a very small fishermen's village. Even with more houses and people passing through, it still is an authentic fishermen's village: you may still see local fishermen delivering freshly caught fish to the tavern owners.
It is located in the south-western part of the island and is known for having the best sunset views. It features taverns with traditional Greek food, three beaches and local shops with honey and olive oil. A fun fact: many times when it is raining in other parts of the island, the skies here are still clear.
One of the most popular beaches in the area, Atspas Beach is appreciated by both locals and tourists. Located in a small gulf, the water is shallow for a long distance from the shore — perfect for families with young children.
The beach is maintained and cleaned, and features a beach bar serving food and drinks. If you're lucky you can sometimes spot cormorants trying to fish their lunch from the sea.
Our Blue apartments (Blue Chill Studio, Blue Pearl, Blue Sea) are located just across this beach — all you need to do is grab a towel, cross the street, and jump into the sea.
The centre of Skala Maries is what you would expect from a small Greek town centre: taverns, the harbour, the church, local shops (a bakery among them, of course), and the village elders overseeing everything while having their coffees.
From our Hara apartments, located right near the taverns, you can easily visit two other beaches: Skala Maries beach (right across, sun-beds near the tavern, small and can get crowded) and Platanes beach (5 minutes walking, wider, beach bar, small water park).
