During our recent trip to Skiathos we stayed at Xanthi traditional Greek accommodation that, while clean and functional, left me with mixed feelings. Firstly, the cleanliness of the space was commendable. The rooms were well-maintained and tidy, reflecting the dedication of the housekeeping staff. However, the overall aesthetic and furnishings leaned towards the basic side. While I appreciate the simplicity and authenticity of traditional Greek decor, I felt that it could benefit from a few more modern touches for comfort. One notable plus was the ample storage space available. It was refreshing to have enough room to unpack unlike some accommodations that skimp on storage, this place offered plenty of shelves and drawers both in the bedroom and bathroom areas. However, the beds were a particular point of contention for us, the bedframes would creak with every little movement, which could be quite distracting, especially at night. This was inconvenient, especially for someone who tends to shift while sleeping as the creaking disturbed my sleep and that of my husband. The outdoor balcony is lovely to sit out on and enjoy the views but difficult to relax on as the chairs are uncomfortable and hard, a little upgrade to the furniture is required. As for the hospitality, I found the staff to be polite but not particularly warm or welcoming any engagement tended to be upon us attempting to initiate conversation and engage with them but I know many returning guests received a very different approach, each to their own. That being said, we spent most of our time out exploring the island, so this didn’t impact our stay or enjoyment at all.
