 The ancient fortress of Skiathos called BOURTZI is located on a small peninsula, which divides the Ports into two distinct locations, the Old Port and the New commercial Port. 

With its panoramic view of the open sea, the modern day Bourtzi Café invites us to linger in the shadow of its pine trees, while sipping coffee or cocktails and watching the comings and goings of ferries, sailboats, yachts and colourful kaikis.

The Bourtzi Café's friendly, attentive personnel serves a large choice of excellent meals, fresh tasty snacks, cocktails and sweets.

 Another feature making the Bourtzi very special, is its location. Just above the crystal clear waters, right here, in the middle of Skiathos town. After strolling through the old town’s alleys, take the few steps down from the Bourtzi Café to the rock below, and cool off with a dip, without even having to go to a beach. Many locals working in banks, shops and offices enjoy their lunch break here, before going back to work.

 In 1207, the Venetian Ghizi brothers took over the island and built the small fortress, calling it Bourtzi. It was designed to protect the population against marauding pirates.

In the mid-14th century, as the pirate attacks worsened, the capital was transferred to a castle, or “Kastro", located strategically high up on a cliff overlooking the Aegean in the northern most part of the island,.

In 1660, the Bourtzi was destroyed by the famous British-American Admiral Morosini. Today you can see the Kastro ruins, along with the ruins of several churches and its water reservoir tanks.

After the liberation from the Turks, the first quarantine of the island was opened in Bourtzi, while in 1906 in the centre of the peninsula, a primary school was built, donated by Andreas Syggrou.

 Today, the Bourtzi serves as the official venue for civil weddings. It is also the Cultural Center of Skiathos, with a stage for summer performances, ranging from art exhibits, music and traditional folk dancing events to theatre shows.

Hi, my name is Elisabeth. Born in  Hidden  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.
