Boudouriani Apartments

4 readers found this review helpful

Just stopped at Boudouriani for the 4th time in 5yrs, what a wonderful place. Easy to get to, Christos and Sofia are superb hosts, and make you welcome like old friends. Nothing is to far from this place, lovely tabernas all near by, the beach just a stones throw away. Best beach on the island we think is Kolios, bus stop 15, down the hill a little and turn right. The daily visits by the 2 geese are the highlight of the day. If you have walking problems, like we do, then this place is brilliant, flat, and everything accessible with no problems.

Going so early in May (5th for a week)meant not all restaurants were open but there was still plenty of choice together with few people on the beaches.
These are old pics and the poolside now has swish dark rattan furniture and sun beds with cream cushions - the whole area looks a million dollars.
Rooms - very basic and would have liked a bath but very clean and good size with aircon. Small kitchen area with Fridge, electric rings, toaster, kettle. Lovely little balcony overlooking pool area. When I mentioned that a light bulb had blown in the room, it was replaced by the time I had eaten breakfast.
Pool area - what can I say. One of the best, cleanest and most comfortable I've been in. Entry by pool steps. Complete sun trap.
Large grass and flower gardens with trees and shrubs. Beautifully kept.
Pool bar and snack area - again very good. Food is consistently good, especially breakfasts, spaghetti,salads.
Reception - small area with book swap and toilets and showers as well as safe boxes.
Road - Not a problem, even though the facility is right on the road. We were in Room 21 which I suspect is the nearest to the road and I HATE road noise.
Beach - Troulos. Relaxed 10 min stroll to beach which we thought was nicer than Koukanaries or Banana beaches. Beach restaurant/bars, sunbeds. Quite small. Amazing view.
Buses - bus stops yards from apartments either to Koukanaries or Skiathos Town. Taxis going back to Skiathos Town stop and offer cheap fare into Town. Barter with them.
Supermarket/papers etc - nearestliterally just down the road a few yards and more a little further on.
Hosts - Cristos and Sophia are superb. Make you feel like old friends very quickly. Their son also helps out in the evening. Nothing is too much trouble. Sophia is a very good cook and will adapt the menu for fussy eaters like me if you dont like this or that. They made the whole week very relaxed and easy, especially as this was our first Greek experience.
Skiathos scenery is stunning. We will definately be going back probably early season as we did this time or late season, end of Sept. A must.
