although there are twenty-four islands in the block of sporades, only four of them are permanently inhabited, namely skiathos, skopelos, alonissos and skyros. ideal islands for hopping from one to another by yacht or sailing boat and enjoying a celebrity lifestyle.
skiathos is the most-travelled of the islands thanks to its international airport and its famous sandy beaches. away from the coast you can still find isolated hiking trails and the odd byzantine monastery. skopelos is larger, but less touristic. its rugged scenery is more beautiful and less developed. shots of the hollywood film “mamma mia” were filmed on this island, making it world-known for its picturesque villages and contrast between the green hilltops and the turquoise waters of the sea.
alonissos, an even much more rugged island lies in the middle of a marine national park and it is surrounded by a group of uninhabited satellite islands. it retains an exclusive climate and exceptional hiking routes. skyros is the least visited island of the four, although there is a fully operating airport. those who will invest in the island will be rewarded by an atmosphere that blends traditional greek village life with an increasing trendy alter native vibe.
seaside vista occupies a privileged waterfront position in agia paraskevi on the southern coast of skiathos, comprising two independent residences set within a private estate that extends directly to the shoreline. arranged across mature grounds and oriented towards the south, the property combines substantial accommodation with immediate access to one of the island’s most sheltered coastal settings.
the estate encompasses approximately 900 sqm (9,688 sq.ft.) of interior space divided between two villas that share a consistent architectural language while functioning independently from one another. positioned to maximise privacy and uninterrupted sea views, both residences are arranged around expansive living areas that maintain a continuous visual connection with the coastline. large openings and full-height glazing allow natural light to move through the interiors throughout the day, while reinforcing the relationship between the houses and the sea beyond.
the principal villa unfolds across multiple levels, with generous reception spaces positioned along the waterfront façade. the layout is designed around openness and fluidity, creating a natural transition between interior and exterior living areas. accommodation includes five bedrooms, with the principal suite occupying a more secluded position within the house and benefiting from elevated views across the bay. a private study complements the bedroom accommodation, creating a quieter retreat within the residence.
the second villa extends to approximately 350 sqm (3,767 sq.ft.) and mirrors the orientation and character of the main residence while remaining entirely self-contained. it provides six additional bedrooms together with independent living and dining areas, allowing the estate to accommodate larger families or guests while preserving privacy between the two houses. the internal arrangement also incorporates a variety of informal living spaces that provide flexibility for extended stays.
the outdoor areas have been carefully integrated into the overall composition of the property. terraces unfold around both residences, creating a series of spaces that remain closely connected to the sea-facing setting. the positioning of the estate above the shoreline ensures uninterrupted views across the water, while the mature landscaping provides natural privacy without restricting the outlook.
despite its secluded atmosphere, seaside vista remains conveniently connected to the rest of the island. skiathos town, the airport and the amenities of the southern coastline are all easily accessible, while the protected bays and beaches that define this part of skiathos lie close at hand.
the combination of direct waterfront positioning, substantial accommodation and dual-residence configuration creates a property of unusual scale and flexibility within the sporades. throughout the day, the changing character of the sea remains the defining element of the setting, providing a constant visual connection between the estate and its coastal surroundings.
