Villa Mitzelos Evangelistria (Watch a video) |
 Address: Evangelistria, Skiathos, Greek Islands
The villas interiors are bright and airy, with tall, pitched wooden ceilings and cool tiled floors. It is unlikely that guests will want to spend much time indoors, however, as the views from the extensive terrace surrounding the lovely kidney-shaped swimming pool are simply too stunning to be neglected for long. The friendly and hospitable owner lives in an adjoining house behind the villa with two equally welcoming cats. We were delighted when we found this stylish, modern villa located in such a sublime position - on a beautiful green hillside, just 5km from Skiathos Town, close to the beautiful Byzantine monastery of Evangelistria. Founded in 1794, the monastery of the Annunciation (Evangelistria) has served as a refuge and a source of inspiration for Skiathans throughout their sometimes turbulent history. In 1807, resistors fighting to free Greece from the Turkish yoke took their oath before the first Greek flag, with its blue background and white cross, designed and sewn here. Frescoes can be found in the sanctuary, but the real treasure is a magnificent carved wooden iconostasis. A tradition unique to Skiathos occurs on 15 August, the monasterys feast day, when the ceremony of the Burial of Our Lady is performed. | |
