Overview

 
Spacious, modern rooms, a relaxed pool and the Aegean on your doorstep – Olia Green Residence is a small, contemporary seafront hideaway a short stroll from Skopelos Town’s harbour and tavernas. With just 16 rooms and leafy gardens, it’s a calm, comfortable base that feels more private residence than big resort, ideal for couples and independent travellers who want to explore the island by day and wander into town by night.

Set in pretty gardens just across from the seafront, Olia Green Residence combines cool, minimalist interiors with warm Greek hospitality. Whitewashed walls, natural wood details and glass-fronted balconies frame views over the pool, gardens and Aegean, while a laid-back snack bar and compact pool make staying put as tempting as heading into town. For couples seeking Greece’s greenest island charm with easy access to Skopelos Town, Olia Green Residence delivers the perfect balance. It’s approximately 2 hours from Skiathos Airport including the ferry crossing. See more Greece holidays.

Map & location


Skopelos Town, Skopelos Island, Greece

Olia Green Residence enjoys a seafront setting just outside Skopelos Town, the island’s postcard-perfect capital. From here it’s an easy walk to the harbour, where whitewashed houses tumble down the hillside and narrow alleys hide lantern-lit tavernas and bars.

Use this as your springboard to discover pine-fringed beaches, hidden coves and hilltop chapels, then return to a peaceful base away from the bustle of the old town streets.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport (via Skiathos & ferry) 2 hours
  • Transfer notes transfer includes a ferry crossing of around 1 hour. Depending on ferry schedules, waiting time at Skiathos Port and overnighting in Skiathos may occasionally be required, especially in adverse weather.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The compact outdoor freshwater pool is the social heart of Olia Green Residence. A neat sunbathing terrace is dotted with sunbeds and parasols, and complimentary towels make it easy to travel light.

Being right by the seafront, you’re never far from the water – wander along the coast for rocky coves and swimming spots, or head further out of town by bus or hire car to find Skopelos’ famous pine-backed beaches and crystal-clear bays.

Spa, sports & wellness


This is a small, low-key residence geared towards peaceful downtime rather than full-scale resort facilities. Expect:

• Outdoor freshwater pool with sunbeds and parasols (typically open 01 May–10 Oct, weather and occupancy dependent)
• Pool towels free of charge
• Reception open 12 hours per day with friendly local advice
• Luggage storage for early arrivals or late departures

There is no on-site gym, spa or organised entertainment, which adds to the tranquil, grown-up atmosphere and encourages you to discover Skopelos at your own pace.

Activities


While Olia Green Residence itself keeps things blissfully low-key, its location makes it an excellent base for:

• Strolling into Skopelos Town for harbourfront dinners and bar-hopping
• Exploring the maze of old-town lanes and hilltop viewpoints
• Day trips to pine-fringed beaches such as Stafilos and Panormos
• Boat excursions to hidden coves and film locations from “Mamma Mia!”
• Scenic walks along the coast or into the green hills behind town

Organised activities are not a feature here – this is all about slow days spent exactly as you choose.

ℹ️ Local area information and restaurant recommendations

There is no lift and only two floors, so some stairs are required. As a small property, services are personal rather than extensive, which adds to the intimate, boutique-style feel.

Food & drink

Mornings start with a simple buffet-style breakfast served at the relaxed snack bar, with fresh breads, spreads and light continental choices – just enough fuel before you set off exploring. During the day, the snack bar offers a range of local, international and premium drinks along with light bites by the pool.

The terrace setting makes it a lovely spot for a pre-dinner drink before you wander into Skopelos Town for a traditional taverna meal. A smart-casual dress code may apply in the bar area; menu, opening hours and service can vary by season and board basis.
