The gazebo
Outdoor sofas under the olive trees — the coolest place in the garden on a hot afternoon, and the prettiest once the lights come on.

Welcome
Your own house and garden, not a room in a hotel
Vague Summer House is a well-kept, bright and carefully decorated single-storey house in a quiet corner of Platanias, on the south coast of Skiathos.
The whole place is yours: two separate bedrooms, a living room with kitchen, a bathroom, a private balcony and a spacious garden with its own parking. Agia Paraskevi beach, with its water sports, is a five-minute walk away; tavernas, supermarkets and cafés are just around the corner, and Skiathos town and port are 6 km along the coast.

The garden
A lawn, olive trees and room to breathe
The garden is the heart of the house — and the thing guests mention first. Mornings on the veranda, long lunches under the pergola, afternoons in the gazebo.
Pergola & barbecue
A built-in barbecue, a long wooden table and a cushioned bench under the pergola, right beside the lawn.
The flowered patio
Stone paving, deckchairs, an umbrella and pots of geraniums and bougainvillea by the house.
Inside
Room by room
Modern, bright and decorated with care — every room is on the ground floor and opens towards the garden.

Evenings
When the garden lights up
After the beach, the lights come on under the olive trees. Fire up the barbecue, lay the table under the pergola, and end the day with a glass of wine in the gazebo — the tavernas are only a short stroll away if nobody feels like cooking.
