Official 3*, Sleeps 2-4, Bed & breakfast
Hotel Perigiali sits in the traditional hamlet of Magazia on Skyros, just 50 metres from a sweeping sandy beach and 1.5 kilometres from the charming main town. Blending simplicity with touches of luxury, this welcoming property offers an appealing base from which to discover one of the Sporades’ most distinctive islands.
The hotel comprises 27 rooms, studios and apartments, designed with a focus on comfort and functionality. Each accommodation type provides a private balcony or terrace overlooking either the gardens, the hamlet, or rooftops stretching out towards the sea. Interiors are thoughtfully arranged to create a sense of relaxed ease, whether for couples, families, or small groups seeking a quiet retreat.
Outdoors, a seawater swimming pool forms the centrepiece of the communal spaces, surrounded by terraces with sunbeds for long hours of relaxation. A poolside bar serves drinks and snacks throughout the day, encouraging guests to linger by the water. Mornings begin with a generous breakfast buffet combining Greek and Skyrian specialities. Homemade marmalades, local cheeses, Skyrian honey, cured meats, fresh bread, traditional pies, and sweets are laid out each day, offering an authentic start steeped in the island’s culinary traditions.
Skyros itself is a destination treasured by those who value its unspoiled character and unique heritage. The island is famous for its carved furniture, painted ceramics, and the small, ancient breed of Skyrian ponies, said to resemble the figures carved on the Parthenon frieze. Fresh lobsters remain plentiful and affordable, while the contrasting landscapes provide countless opportunities for exploration. The rocky south, which once inspired the poet Rupert Brooke, feels wild and windswept, while the pine-forested west invites walkers to explore marked trails.
Evenings often draw visitors into the lively main town, where tavernas and bars create a festive atmosphere. For those who prefer a quieter pace, Magazia’s long beach and traditional ambience provide a tranquil escape.
Hotel Perigiali has grown from modest beginnings into one of the island’s most respected places to stay. Originally established in 1994 as a small family-run hotel with only 11 rooms, it quickly built a reputation for warm hospitality and personalised service. In 2010, a new annexe expanded capacity by an additional 16 rooms, and the original building was carefully renovated to ensure consistent quality.
More than 25 years of experience in welcoming guests underpin the hotel’s commitment to attentive service and authentic Greek hospitality. Every stay is designed as a thoughtfully curated experience, where personal attention and respect for guests’ time create a sense of ease far removed from the pressures of daily life. Today, Hotel Perigiali stands as a testament to dedication and genuine care, offering a comfortable haven on an island that rewards discovery at every turn.
