Hotel Mediterranean Reviews

Thassos is a beautiful island with some stunning quiet beaches but Skala Rahoni was not one of these, it is really quite untidy in areas away from the hotels with carrier bags and rubbish that probably gets washed up from the mainland. My husband and I dont like busy hectic resorts,but had we not had a car for 7 out of the 14 days we were there we would have been very bored. There are only a few tavernas, Gekas was by far the best and no other entertainment what so ever in the village. The Hotel staff are very friendly the rooms are comfortable,clean and spacious, bedlinen and towels are changed regularly, the food at the beach bar and the weekly BBQ is absolutely delicious. But the building-grounds maintenance is non existent and really lets this hotel down hence why we gave it an average overall when rating it (considering it is only 4 years old,) the decking area is extremely dangerous and needs replacing as soon as possible as a number of boards had rotted and snapped,floor tiles at the edge of the path leading from the pool to hotel were broken, brackets were hanging off parasols on the beach, sunbeds need a good scrubbing and the beach area should be raked each morning as it had lots of rubbish on it. The island its self if very scenic, tranquil and traditional our favorite beaches are makryammos(dont be put u off by pay to use this beach 3 euro each its worth it)paradise,and trypti, psili ammos is stunning but one of two tavernas there plays horrendously loud music. The villages of Panagia and Kazaviti are a must to visit not only in the day but for a traditional greek meal on a evening in the village squares.Limenaria the old capital is a lovely place to visit and has some nice restaraunts and shops as does thassos town which is best visited at night when cooler, Potos market on a Monday is worth a visit food,shoes,clothes,bags,belts etc but go early and dont park on main road as you will get a ticket. My husband said this island was the most easy and enjoyable to drive round (because there is very little traffic no circles or traffic lights and it is impossible to get lost). We would most definately return to Thassos but not to Skala Rachoni other parts of the island are a lot more scenic and interesting

We had a two week stay in May, good weather-friendly staff and v.clean rooms.Wasn.t noisy in the least. Few excellent resturants nearby-so no problems finding good food,if you wish to eat out. We found a beautiful hotel called the Golden Sunset,turn right at the T-junction opp' the mediterranean about 10min walk down the lane.They did delicious light snacks at lunch-time and very tasty evening meals resonable prices plus the added advantage of beaufiful indoor and outdoor surrounding -also the free use of the pool and sun-lounges. Great friendly owners so so pleasant.

Truly wonderful. Both Skala Rahoni and the Mediterranean Apartments were fantastic. Very quiet and relaxing and being right there on the beach was bliss. Both staff and fellow guests were lovely and we got the impression that a lot of people returned to these apartments each year. In fact, we were told that one couple love it so much in Rahoni that they are moving there permanently, getting jobs on the island as the driver of a truck which emptys the septic tank(of all things!)

It was possibly our best holiday so far and we have been to Greece many times.

Fantastic hotel,with the best staff any customer could possibly ask for. They just cant do enough for you, nothings to much trouble.
The rooms are good, pool area is excellent, with the beach on your door step. Pool bar serves tastey food, and is open all day and night untill 12:30.

I've no complaints at all about the hotel and would reccomend it to any one. Simply because theres nothing to complain about.

Wonderful and fantastic you will have a great time at this lovely hotel.

We have just spent 2 great weeks here. Hotel accomodation is fantastic it is clean and comfortable much better than I expected. We were in 104 next to the pool bar the music never went on before 10.00am and was off between about 12.30 and was never too loud. In previous reviews people have mention its a meeting place for young greek people, well they are albainian and were all really polite and even entertained some of the kids by playing ball with them.

The resort is very quiet with only a few restaurants so get out and travel.

The staff are just fab nothing is too much and they are so friendly, if you see sonny tell him mummy misses him!!. There is no Sue now she has been replaced by the lovely and very very helpful Karen who could not have done enough for you. Do go to the Saturday night quiz night the BBQ is 10 euros and there was loads of food and it was fun.

We hired mopeds from Mikes bikes in Skala Prinos they bikes were great and reliable highly recomend them. We also went on independant boat trips, this is our 3rd visit to Thassos and is much cheaper than going with the tour operator who by the way was called Emma and was really lovely and helpful. If you see her can you tell here for some reason our turkish delight was confiscated by Customs!!!! so dont bring that back in hand luggage do be careful about weights as they charge 10 euros for excess at the airport and they really do charge it, we met a couple that had to pay 40 euros extra.

taxi's are cheap and you are only about 8 minutes by car to thassos town to a lot of lovely restaurants I can recomment the Thassian which is on the front going towards the port, also ask karen for recomendations she sent us to a couple of great ones.

Whilst out on the bikes we discovered Skala Marion a lovely beach hardly anyone there it was great we also went to a restaurant run by Antoniou and his wife who have been there for 50 years he treated us like family and did not stop bringing out food, the restaurant was on one of the corners by the beach he had an icecream fridge outside his premises and a cream canopy the seating area in across from the restaurant. Skala Portimia is another great beach we have stayed here 2 previously.

Thassos is cheap and lovely. The Holiday was wonderful there is nothing to complain about and if you could complain then there is no pleasing you.

We met really lovely people there, Nigel and Angie and Katies Klan and Joshs' family and the other large family whos names we did not know but were really nice. We will return again very soon.
