Panagia Kounistra Monastery - The Miracle Legend

Hi, my name is Elisabeth. Born in D.C. to an US mom and a German dad, I grew up moving around the world. I welcome you to our Villa Maestrali, the family vacation home built in the early 1970's on Skiathos island.
After raising a family, and for the past 18 years, my main focus is now managing this magical place, and helping our guests create wonderful memories. Thanks to its lush green vegetation, soft sandy beaches and crystal clear blue waters, Skiathos is called the "Emerald of the Aegean". As the filming location of "Mamma Mia" in 2008, this Greek island is no longer an insider tip. Come bask in sun, relax on the over 60 beaches and coves, take boat rides around the island and spend a day on its tiny neighbouring islands. Enjoy the friendly locals and wonderfully fresh cooked dishes offered in the colourful tavernas in town, and on most beaches.
After welcoming our guests, we stay on Skiathos all season, ready to share local insider tips and to be of assistance if so desired.
