Petra Nera sits in the relaxed resort centre of Agia Paraskevi on Skiathos’ lush southern coast. This is classic Greece in slow motion: a small chapel, a sprinkling of family-run tavernas and a long, gently shelving sandy beach backed by pines.

From the hotel’s slightly elevated position you’ll enjoy wide-reaching views across the bay, while still being within walking distance of the seafront and the island’s main coastal road. From here, local buses run towards Skiathos Town and other beaches, making car-free exploring refreshingly easy.

Skiathos is one of the greenest islands in the Sporades, laced with walking trails. Agia Paraskevi puts you in a handy midpoint location if you fancy hikes towards the Platanias Valley or Kechria, where a stream runs year-round through shady countryside.

Dining at Petra Nera keeps to the hotel’s boutique feel – compact, considered and focused on quality.

The main restaurant combines buffet and à la carte service, serving a mix of Greek favourites and international dishes for breakfast and dinner. Think fresh fruit, baked goods and cooked options to start the day, then grilled meats, salads and local specialities in the evening.

A separate snack bar takes care of daytime cravings with light bites and casual lunches, ideal between pool dips or before you wander down to the beach. When it’s time to linger over a drink, the main lounge bar on the terrace opens from late morning to late evening for coffees, cocktails and sunset views.

A smart-casual dress code may apply in the evening, and opening dates, reservations and any supplements can vary by season and board basis. Information is based on the previous season and may be subject to change. What All Inclusive typically includes.

The hotel’s centrepiece is its outdoor freshwater infinity pool, edged by a sun terrace with loungers and parasols. Thanks to the hillside location, it feels like you’re swimming straight out towards the sea, with views that change beautifully as the light moves through the day. The pool usually operates between May and late September, weather permitting, and facilities may vary by pool and season.

When you want sand between your toes, it’s around a 500m walk down to Agia Paraskevi’s beach – a crescent of soft sand that shelves gently into clear, calm water, ideal for relaxed swimming and paddling. Traditional tavernas tucked behind the beach make it easy to pair a few hours by the sea with a leisurely lunch.

Petra Nera is all about easy-going island days rather than a big resort checklist. There’s no full spa or gym here, but you’ll find:

• Tranquil pool terrace with sea views
• Stylish lobby and lounge areas for reading or relaxing
• Reception with concierge-style support and luggage storage

The emphasis is on unwinding, exploring the island, and enjoying long, leisurely meals either at the hotel or in the nearby tavernas. For guests keen to hike, the surrounding hills and pine forests offer excellent walking routes straight from the resort.
