Save to favouritesPrintMailSkitesWhen Pola Bohn first discovered this secluded beach less than a kilometre from Mount Athos in the 1960s, it was a 4-hour drive from Thessaloniki, mostly down bumpy dirt roads. A new highway has cut the journey in half, but Skites - the 25-room guesthouse Pola built in 1989 - still feels blissfully off the beaten track. The road that divides the low-slung rooms and lush fragrant gardens from the pool bar and pebble beach is still unpaved. And the discreet metal sign is easy to miss (we drove past it twice). So it comes as something of a surprise to hear Buena Vista Social Club drifting from the terrace and to see spinach soufflé on the menu. Pola’s daughter Karin, who now runs Skites, has infused the place with her arty personality. There are chandeliers from Morocco (where she grew up), candelabras from nearby monasteries, lace curtains from local farmhouses, and hand-made driftwood sculptures. [r:GR067:Rooms] are pared down to the essentials, but the welcoming communal areas and pool are where you’ll spend most of your time. If you want to head out, it’s just a short walk to the small town of Ouranoupolis, which is the jumping off point for Mount Athos - the men-only monastic republic established in 963 and unchanged for centuries. With its wonderfully restorative, meditative atmosphere, Skites is about as close to this as you can get: ideal for solitary retreats or romantic escapes.
