When you’re ready for a change of pace, you’re only a few kilometres from the harbour, tavernas and narrow lanes of Skiathos Town. It’s close enough for easy evenings out, yet far enough that nights back at the hotel stay calm and starlit.

Punta, Skiathos, Greece

The main buffet restaurant keeps things relaxed and unfussy, serving breakfast and dinner with a mix of Greek and international dishes. There’s show cooking at dinner during the main season, so you can enjoy freshly prepared hot options alongside salads and simple desserts.

A pool and lobby bar covers drinks throughout the day, with local and international options and light snacks in season. Expect a smart-casual dress code in the restaurant (swimwear and beachwear generally not permitted), and note that opening dates, times and menu details can change with occupancy and season.

Board basis is typically Bed & Breakfast or Half Board, with drinks usually payable locally unless specified on your booking. What All Inclusive typically includes.

The heart of Punta Hotel is its outdoor freshwater pool, edged by a generous sunbathing terrace with loungers and parasols and backed by tall trees. There’s a separate shallow children’s section so younger guests can splash about, and inflatables are generally allowed, creating a relaxed, family-friendly vibe. Pool towels are typically available against a refundable deposit.

When you fancy the sea, a local beach sits around 400m away, down the hillside. Much of Skiathos’ coastline is sandy or sand-and-shingle, with clear waters and low-key beach bars in season.

This is a quiet, outdoorsy sort of place: think gentle strolls among the pines and exploring the island rather than big resort complexes. Cyclists are well catered for, with bike hire and local bike tours typically available for a fee, giving you a great way to discover Skiathos’ beaches and viewpoints under your own steam.

Occasional evening entertainment is offered in high summer (usually July and August), with low-key in-house shows or live music that suits the hotel’s relaxed character.

You can reach Skiathos Town by road in around 10 minutes. Punta Hotel usually operates a shuttle bus service into town, which runs at set times and must be reserved in advance with reception.

Exact inclusions and meal times can vary by season, so always check your latest travel documents.

4. Does Punta Hotel have a lift or accessible rooms?
The hotel has around 60 rooms spread over three floors and does not have lifts, so it may be challenging for guests with limited mobility or those who prefer to avoid stairs. Some ground-floor rooms may be easier to access, but they are still subject to steps and slopes in the surrounding hillside terrain. If accessibility is important, speak to a Travelisto travel specialist before booking so we can check the most suitable options.

The nearest cluster of bars and restaurants is around 2km away, and Skiathos Town — with its many shops, cafés and tavernas — is around 3km away. The hotel’s shuttle bus or a short taxi ride is usually the most convenient way to access a wider choice of dining and nightlife.

6. Is Wi‑Fi free at Punta Hotel and how good is the signal?
Free Wi‑Fi is typically available throughout Punta Hotel, including public areas and guest rooms. As with many hillside and island properties, speeds and signal strength can vary depending on how many guests are online and your exact location in the building, but it is usually sufficient for messaging, browsing and basic streaming.

7. What should I pack for a stay at Punta Hotel?
Light, breathable clothing, swimwear, comfortable shoes for walking the hillside and exploring Skiathos, and a light layer for cooler evenings are all recommended.
