The Area
Maistros perches on the high cliffs of northeastern Skopelos, just a few kilometres from the charming village of Glossa, whose whitewashed streets and shady square offer great views and a variety of amenities, including shops and tavernas.
Picturesque Skopelos Town and harbour, situated in the southeast of the island, is about 40 minutes' drive away.
Skopelos island is the perfect size to explore in a week or two and offers a good range of activities. A variety of beaches are dotted all around the island's nearly 70km of coastline. Some, such as those in Skopelos Town, Panormos and Limnonari are easily accessible. Others can be reached only on foot or by sea, an excellent excuse for hiring a boat for a day or two and exploring the island's gorgeous coves and bays.
Skopelos is also a green and pleasant island, and the vibrant colours, heady fragrances and cooling shade of its pine and oak woods contend with the multi-blue-hued sea for visitors' attention. There are several good walking trails across the hilly interior, whose two main peaks, Mount Palouki and Mount Delphi rise to 546m and 681m respectively. You will come across numerous monasteries on your way, as well as some superb views and a few sleepy villages where time seems to have stood still. One walk will lead you to the chapel of Agios Ioannis, which enjoyed its 5 minutes of fame as one of the locations for the film Mamma Mia!
Finally, just across the water, is Skopelos's sister Sporades Island, Alonissos, and its Marine Park. Both are highly recommended and easy to get to.

Maistros is a fantastic villa.
DB, United Kingdom October 2017
Maistros is stunning - loads of space, amazing location (the steps to the sea were worth it), lots of character. We particularly enjoyed the view, the sitting room, the staff, the solitary beach and Koukalitsa the donkey! The staff were fabulous and definitely added to the enjoyment of our stay - nothing was too much for them and all done with a smile. We didn't venture out much because the villa was so lovely. The in-villa cooking was fantastic - fresh and tasty - and definitely worked out financially for a big group. The groceries delivery was an unexpected bonus - the housekeeper organised all this for us whilst we sat eating a delicious breakfast she had already prepared.

For groups of weary urbanites looking for the ultimate restorative retreat Maistros is the perfect place. It’s a highly sophisticated idyll far off the beaten track. The walls are lined with books, there’s music on vinyl, 1950s black and white photographs, and the kitchen is equipped with up-market gadgets for foodie enthusiasts. But first and foremost this house is all about the location and the stunning views. Blue skies and sparkling seas lift the spirits and make the city feel a long way away. Throw open the French windows and the sea is all around. Steps lead down to a beautiful circular terrace, perfect for long lunches and cocktails at sunset. There are multiple shady spots for reading, snoozing or (in our case) playing the flute. Great views abound. Steps lead down to a private beach – which is totally secluded and completely unspoilt. The water is crystal clear and we spent happy hours swimming and snorkelling. The climb back up ensures a good appetite for lunch and the swimming pool is the perfect place to cool down any time during the day. Everyone returned from this beautiful house feeling restored and reinvigorated, and we still talk about the lasting good effects from our holiday.
