From the moment we arrived at Kassandra Bay, we felt completely looked after. As soon as we stepped out of the taxi, the staff were waiting to greet us warmly and immediately took charge of our luggage, which was such a relief after a long journey. The check-in experience set the tone for the whole holiday — friendly, professional, and full of thoughtful touches. Olga at reception, in particular, deserves special mention. She welcomed us with a genuine smile, guided us to the suites area, and even brought out complimentary drinks and snacks while we completed the check-in process. It instantly felt like we had arrived somewhere special. Olga then personally escorted us to our suite, taking the time to show us around and explain everything the room had to offer. We stayed in a Deluxe Suite with a private pool, and I have to say without hesitation that it is worth the upgrade. The suite was incredibly spacious, consisting of two bathrooms, a comfortable living area with two twin beds, and a main bedroom with a queen-sized bed. The private pool was larger than expected and came with four sunbeds, making it perfect for relaxing in total privacy. One of the greatest perks of staying in a suite is the access to the exclusive infinity pool. This pool overlooks the sparkling Aegean Sea and offers one of the most beautiful views I have ever enjoyed while swimming. In addition, the hotel has two other main pools, both a very good size and never overcrowded. Dining at Kassandra Bay was another highlight of our stay. Guests staying in suites benefit from a dedicated breakfast area, which felt calm and relaxed compared to the main buffet area. Staff would come straight over to ask if we preferred tea or coffee, which was a lovely, personal touch. The breakfast selection was outstanding — fresh juices, an array of pastries, yoghurts, fruit, hot breakfast items, and even a live omelette station. For lunch, the Pelagos Restaurant served excellent dishes that were both fresh and tasty, while the snack bar was ideal for something lighter during the day, offering a good range of snacks and drinks at very reasonable prices. In the evening, we enjoyed meals at Black Olive and another on-site restaurant (whose name unfortunately escapes me), both of which provided a wonderful atmosphere and delicious food. The private beach belonging to the hotel is another major advantage. The sand is soft, the sea is clear, and the hotel provides complimentary sunbeds, which made every beach day easy and relaxing. The only very minor downside was that the button system to order drinks directly to your sunbed didn’t seem to work properly during our stay. It was a small inconvenience in an otherwise flawless experience. Getting around Skiathos from the hotel was effortless. There is a water taxi service that runs roughly every hour, taking you straight into Skiathos Town or Koukounaries for just €4. Alternatively, the island bus system is fantastic, with very frequent buses running in both directions for only €2–3. This made exploring the island so simple and stress-free. Overall, I can honestly say Kassandra Bay is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. From the attentive service and luxurious suite to the incredible pools, delicious food, and convenient location, everything exceeded our expectations. The staff genuinely go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, and the little details make a huge difference. We returned home feeling refreshed, relaxed, and already excited to plan our next stay. Without a doubt, I will be returning to Kassandra Bay next year — it has truly captured my heart as the perfect Skiathos getaway.
