| said: Stayed again at Eleni Studios and not much has changed as like the lifestyle of the inhabitants! Same family run establishment except a little older since visited in Aug 2003. Rooms are kept to a very high standard and linen change regularly. Fan is a must especially when 47 degrees during the day and 105 fires in Volos - the main land this year, you probably saw it on the news. It was too hot for the locals aswell so stay out of th the sun between 12-2pm. A very beautiful island that can be appreciated more if you hire a boat or car to visit the north of the island.
Please note that the hill is moderately steep but not for those who flail easily as it is still warm at 8pm. 67 beaches on teh island - all georgeous if you ask for my personal opinion. Stayed at Achiladies all the time as it was nearer and the water was very clear.

| said: The apartments are in a superb location near Acladies beach. There are 27 studios/apartments - all self catering. Views are great and the place is kept very clean. The pool is good and the bar has food available at any time. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
The walk to the two nearby beaches is quite steep and takes about 15 minutes. The place is not really suitable for anyone with walking difficulties or families with prams or pushchairs.
Had a good holiday and would go again.

| said: Very modern and clean. Cleaner very diligent & also changed towels & sheets very frequently. Twin-bedded room with modern bathroom & well-stocked kitchen area. It all looked almost brand-new.
Studios are up a short steep slope from road, along which goes a lot of traffic, but they're very quiet, especially at night.
2-bed studios on ground floor have patio areas looking out onto nice garden. The manager spends a lot of time (& lots of water) caring for it.
Manager (owner?) doesnt speak English but is happy if you say 'kalimera' etc to him. Hire a fan at one euro a night. No bar or entertainment, so maybe Mr Hopkins of Leeds (Aug.2003) was writing about a different Eleni Villas. Supermarket is a few minutes walk away (uphill).
Eleni Villa is halfway between bus stops 15 (Kolios) and 16 (Agia Paraskevi)and about an equal walk to both beaches.
Kolios is nicer we thought, not too busy, lovely sand, clear water, 2 good tavernas. You can use pools in other villas/hotels if you buy a drink.

| said: We stayed in one of the two ,2 bedroomed apartments ,the accommodation was of a very high standard in cleanliness and furnishings though the shower could have been better. Well equipped with all that you need.
It is situated at the bottom of a hill with lovely view of Kolios Bay. The only tarmac road in Skiathos runs in front of the apartments, it runs from one end of the island to the other at least every halfhour, Elini is almost exactly half way so it costs 90cents to any of the beaches or wonderful Skiathos town at almost any time day or night.
There are 2 local beaches each less than 7 minutes walk away.

| said: The Eleni studios are situated on the main road from Skiathos town. We found them to be very clean and the owner and staff very friendly, although they spoke little English. However, we were always made to feel very welcome. We stayed in a two bedroomed studio with a very large balcony overlooking the beach. The view was spectacular as the apartments are set on the hillside overlooking the small bay.
The studio itself was bright and airy and very child friendly.
We would highly reccommend the Eleni Studios and will be returning next year GUARANTEED!!!!

| said: This hotel is based up a hill, the brochures tell you it is a gentle walk but only downwards. However, many others at the apartments enjoyed the walk. Some hired vehicles like ourselves and some just caught the bus. You get to travel in style on these buses as they are made by mercedes.
The apartments are in two styles, the old and the new. The old apartments are more traditional and have there own balconies. The newer ones have one long balcony which is seperated by railings. They are both extremely clean and comfortable. However, on arrival it is strongly recommended that you hire an ocilating fan from the bar as it is very warm on the evenings.
The owner and his family run the apartments and the entertainment. The bar is relatively cheap with a huge variety and ask the bartender to make a special drink for you because they make some really delicious drinks.
The beach is excellent, suiting all people, young and old. The beach has soft sand with many sun loungers and parasols at a cost of 8 euros per pair for the whole day. There are many tavernas on the seafront with a general store also. Water sports are available at a reasonable price. They only use the marked area of the sea as to remain safe. No jet skis available though. They can even hire you and your family your own boat to visit one of three unhabited islands for the day. The beach has a gentle slope underwater as to reassure parents. The water is very clear and popular with the recreational snorkeller, including myself. Fish can be seen right up to the shore.
If you ever decide to visit this tranquil greek island you will be spoilt for eating out. Here are a few of my recommendations;
scuba
infinity blue
the meditteranean
paradisa taverna
Cheers for taking the time to read this. i hope you decide to go there, it is well worth it.
