Paschalis Studios Reviews

Situated 5 minutes walk up a concrete track in a quiet location the 12 studios are basic but they and the grounds are kept immaculate with the never crowded pool cleaned every day. Very friendly owners who live on site.Good Tavernas along the track like Alvi good home cooked food also Pegasus, good pizzas, also don't ignore Calma which is located a bit further up the track, smart with good food and service.Several more Tavernas along the main road.Skiathos town really buzzes at night which was the best time to go as it was very hot and tiring in the day, it went up to 40c when i was there.

The beaches are some of the best I've been to in the Greek islands, great for snorkeling especially Little Banana, very quiet and relaxing and teeming with fish, take some bread to feed them and you will be surrounded by them.The buses run about every 20 minutes but can get crowded at times but it was all good fun,the hardest part being getting off at your stop when they were packed.They even have conductors when they're busy.It's worth going on the boat trip to Scopelos and Alonissos.I plan to return to Skiathos and Paschalis studios next year as i really enjoyed my stay there.

We stayed at the Paschalias studios and we couldnt have made a better choice in our opinion.
The appartments were set in very peaceful, secluded gardens with a lovely pool which we enjoyed all week mostly to ourselves!
The rooms were basic but very clean and everyting worked. Only downside is the water ran through clay which gave it a very high mineral content and could stain anything white which you want to wash out.
Also the owner (who we nicknamed mumma Greek!) was very entertaining!

Next door to our appartments were Jimmy's studios, they had a pool bar run by a young man called ";Dimitris"; who went out of his way to do anything for us. He was a brilliant host and some of the other guests returned year after year all because of him! Its a brilliant way to chill out at the end of the evening before returning to our appartments which really were a stones through away.

We hired a car all week so had no problems getting arround the island, although everyone was very positive about its public transport. There is only one main road which a bus runs from one end to the other on so everything is accessable by anyone. To drive from Skiathos town all along the road through the resorts to Bannana beech at the end took about 45-50 mins.

We hired a speed boat from Platanias beech water sports centre and would recommend this to anyone! We had it from 10am till 5pm, we had lots of training and they really knew what they were doing, we took it over to Tsougria and Argos (no, not the shop!).
This was a great day out and we all said it was the best day, make sure you take plenty of sun cream though as the sun beats down on you in the boat and obviously you have no shade.
