Owner and host Karen Geldenhuys, together with her husband Org, lives at Villa Athena and is personally available to make your stay as enjoyable and memorable as possible.
We spend six months of the year living on Skiathos and six months in Cape Town, South Africa. Over the years, we have travelled to almost every corner of the island — discovering its hidden beaches, secluded coves, sea caves and grottoes around Skiathos and the surrounding islands, scenic viewpoints, favourite tavernas and restaurants, and the many special places that make this part of the Sporades so unique.
Because we know the island and its surrounding waters so well, we’re always happy to share our local knowledge and point you in the right direction. Whether you’re looking for the best beach for a swim, a secluded cove, a hidden sea cave to explore, a beautiful sunset, a great restaurant, a scenic drive or something special to do, just ask us. We can help you discover the Skiathos that you might otherwise miss.
To make your stay even easier, we offer a complimentary concierge service to assist with arrangements during your time on the island. We can help with taxi bookings, restaurant reservations, car and scooter hire, boat trips and more.
Looking for the best table with a view in a Skiathos Town restaurant? We can help. Want to arrange a boat for the day that you can skipper yourself? We’ll point you in the right direction and help organise it.
We also have a dedicated WhatsApp line for our guests, so you can easily reach us throughout your stay whenever you need advice, recommendations or assistance.
Our aim is simple: to give you the freedom to enjoy Skiathos, while taking care of the little details that make a holiday truly special.
