Angelos Studios

Angelos studios (Kolios/vromolimnos, not to be confused with the Angelos Studios in Koukanaries) has 21 rooms, some of which have a great view looking out onto Vromolimnos beach.
It is a quiet resort, set back off the main road on top of a hill, which is great exercise after all the great food you’ll be eating on the island. The rooms are clean and include either a little balcony or courtyard (if you're on the ground floor) which are lovely to sit out on with a glass of wine in the cool evenings. If you're looking for luxury, don't stay here but if like us, you are simply looking for a bed to sleep in-Angelos is more than adequate-Who wants to stay indoors in Skiathos anyway?!
The swimming pool is lovely and clean and surrounded by sun beds with the option of shaded or sunny areas. The taverna is quaint and it's hard not to feel at home there. They serve a good range of quality food and every drink you can think of! I can particularly recommend an omlette for breakfast-the eggs are always fresh from that morning courtesy of the resident chickens! It is a about a 4 minute walk to Vromolimnos beach, which I think is one of the nicest beaches on the island! The supermarket is about a 5 minute walk and sells practically everything! Plus if you can’t be bothered to take on the ill, they will deliver for you!
Angelo or George (Angelo's son, who actually owns the place) will greet you with a smile and will show you great hospitality throughout your stay-genuinely nice people and very generous too! George understands more English than Angelo and you can actually hold a reasonable conversation with him, whereas Angelo knows only a few phrases, which only adds to his charm-one of his favourites is "No Control". It was Angelo and George that made our stay at these studios and the reason why we are returning to stay there for the 3rd time, later this month.
Skiathos is a little slice of paradise! I am somewhat confused when I read bad reviews of Skiathos; it makes me wonder if we visited the same place. Don't get me wrong, it is not a holiday for everyone but I think it's ideal for couples of all ages. It is essentially a beach holiday and with over 60 to choose from, you're spoilt for choice! The food on the island is beautiful! There's so many restaurants to choose from! If you like Pizza, I would recommend Maria's pizza-the best I've ever had! You can watch her make your pizza fresh and enjoy it at the quaint little tables on the backstreet cobbles.
It is worth doing a couple of boat trips, to see some of the beaches which can only be reached by boat, such as Lalaria, which is stunning! I would also recommend a trip to the outdoor cinema-it plays recent movies in English with Greek subtitles-it's a totally different experience watching a movie with a glass of wine or a beer and having the moon and stars above you-perfect! If you like dogs have a walk up to the dog shelter near Troulos and walk a dog in the picturesque mountains-stunning views and good exercise!
In the evenings the best place to go to is the rock and roll bar-they do amazing cocktails and you can enjoy them whilst sitting on plump colourful cushions and beanbags on the slabs outside-it’s so comfortable and relaxing and the novelty doesn't wear off-we visited during happy hour (7-9) almost every night! What can I say? If you want a relaxing holiday with beautiful beaches, great food and drink and superb weather than go to Skiathos-you won't be disappointed.

These apartments are set off the main road up a hill leading to a beach. This beach is extremely busy and so is the traffic, which passes the apartments from morning till the early hours.
The Olympic brochure said it was set in a quiet area which may be right early in the season but certainly wasn’t when we were there in mid July. The rooms were in need of some updating and our bathroom had no window or vent. The apartments could also do with air con or the option of hiring fans. The view from our balcony was lovely with sea views & lush countryside. The pool area
which had a bar was well looked after and the food was very good and reasonable (can recommend the toasties).
The bus system is still as mad as ever and very rarely stopped at Bus Stop 13 which is the nearest to the apartments but we found the nearby water taxis a great help for getting into Skiathos Town. If we visited Skiathos again we would hire a car as the immediate area is lacking in restaurants and bars so you have to travel to other resorts for your evenings out.
A good supermarket is nearby which stocks just about everything. We would definitely go back to Skiathos but would probably not stay in this area again.
