EXTERIOR
Villa Thalia is the picture of a quaint country house; white with sea green shutters and pretty flowers growing in terracotta pots. The picturesque vine-covered front terrace can be used for outdoor dining and its convenient location just outside the kitchen makes serving a breeze. The spectacular view makes this a favourite spot and leaving the villa can be a difficult task. Perhaps the only place that is more appealing is the kidney-shaped swimming pool, which seems to be suspended in air high above the sea. It is situated in one of the best positions on the property, enjoying a panoramic view to Skiathos and the neighboring islands. Certainly the sunsets at Villa Thalia are one of its’ most outstanding attractions and brings visitors back time and again to this exquisite setting.

SURROUNDINGS
Villa Thalia is located in the most quiet and un-commercialised area of the island. Situated between Klima and Glossa, most visitors to this area of the island are day-trippers. Glossa, the islands' second largest town, has a marked difference to Skopelos town. Its picturesque cobbled streets and interesting architecture gives the impression of being mostly untouched by tourism. Its distance from Skopelos though, means that it is self-supporting and has all the necessities to hand including bakery, butcher, pharmacy and doctor. Glossa also boasts one of the most popular and upmarket tavernas found on the island.

Loutraki is also a short distance from the house, down the winding main road from Glossa and serves as the secondary port to the island. Here you will find a quaint waterfront lined with tavernas, some hanging just over the waters' edge. Loutraki has a shorter season than Skopelos and is only fully open from June to mid-September. Walking is a favorite pastime for visitors to Villa Thalia, with walks to the church of Ag. Anargiri only 10 minutes from the house and from there down to the sea and Loutraki another 20 minutes, where you can have a refreshing swim. A short drive away (approx 3.5klms) is the unspoilt beach of Armenopetra and a little further, some of the islands best beaches at Hovolo, Milia and Kastani.

SUITABILITY
Villa Thalia is the perfect place for a secluded, romantic getaway. Its private guest house is also an excellent addition for two couples or a family wishing to enjoy the quiet beauty of rural Greece. Villa Thalia combines a touch of luxury and simple elegance in a traditional country pool villa.
