Atrium Hotel

Atrium Hotel details

Built into a hillside overlooking Platanias Bay, this boutique-style hotel offers fantastic views and a great location close to the beach.

Made up of small, stone buildings, the Atrium feels more like a cluster of villas than a hotel. It’s been tiered into a hillside to make the most of the views across Platanias Bay. The pool area has the most impressive vistas. It’s surrounded by a wooden sun terrace with white-cushioned loungers positioned to look out across the Aegean. A vine-clad taverna serves lunch on a shaded poolside terrace.

Meals are served in the main restaurant, which has a mixture of indoor and outdoor seating. Breakfast is a buffet spread, while dinner menus feature Mediterranean-inspired dishes and traditional Greek recipes.

The hotel’s interiors have a boutique feel, with exposed stone walls, huge earthenware urns and Greek antiques. Bedrooms have a more traditional look, with raftered ceilings, wrought-iron beds and wooden-roofed balconies.

Platanias Beach – also known as Agia Paraskevi – is a 5-minute downhill walk away. It’s a pine tree-backed ribbon of white sand, with clear, calm waters. Platanias’ restaurants and tavernas are a few minutes’ walk away, too, as is the bus station. From here, buses run to Skiathos Town in one direction and to Koukanaries Beach in the other.
