"Pros: - Room facilities excellent, if not similar to a 5 star hotel - Location central, yet quiet - Feels like good value for money overall Cons: - Too many stairs, and no lift. Completely inaccessible for people on wheelchair or families with stroller - Never saw anyone at reception except when arriving/leaving - Zero customer service while on site. eg. no one we could ask about anything"

"Third year at the Alkyon, and already booked for next year We’ve visited Skiathos for 8 years now, staying at various hotels over the years. But we think we’ve found our forever hotel. This was our third consecutive year staying at the Alkyon. We stayed for a week and, as always, had a fantastic time. The hotel has a great location, friendly staff and wonderful views from the breakfast terrace where you can watch the planes coming in to land while enjoying a great buffet breakfast (plenty of hot and cold options to choose from). Being at the bus terminus is another big advantage, particularly for the beach buses. You can usually get a seat before they start filling up further along the route. We also had dinner included every night at the hotel restaurant, Carnayo. The following evening’s menu is displayed during the day, with two choices of starter, main and dessert. The included menu is deliberately simple and pared back, and we loved it for exactly that reason. If you’re looking for the full Greek repertoire, generous portions of gyros, mixed grills, souvlaki and all the traditional fare in a proper taverna atmosphere, then head out and enjoy one of Skiathos’s many tavernas. We’ve been to Skiathos eight times and have tried most of the restaurants we’d wanted to, so now we don’t feel the need for that every evening. Instead, we enjoyed the quiet simplicity of Carnayo: two choices each night, well-prepared food, and often something we wouldn’t ordinarily have chosen. In its beautiful setting and ambience, with familiar, welcoming staff, we always left feeling perfectly content. For us, it was a lovely change of pace and exactly what we wanted. The common areas of the hotel are excellent, the breakfast area is particularly beautiful, and the restaurant and bar are lovely. The rooms are perfectly comfortable, although a few small additions, such as a full-length mirror and tea/coffee sachets to go with the kettle, would make them even better. It would also be nice if the courtesy toiletries were replenished automatically through the stay. Very minor points, though, and certainly not enough to take away from the overall experience. Guests can also make use of the facilities at the sister hotel, Skiathos Palace, including its larger pool overlooking Koukounaries. The views are spectacular and it’s well worth taking advantage of the complimentary transport (you just need to book at reception, as places are limited). We enjoyed the pool and the views, but the Palace is a much larger hotel, which actually reinforced why we prefer the Alkyon. It’s smaller and therefore feels more intimate. And then there are the staff, who really are the gem of the Alkyon. We see many of the same faces year after year, and they remember us too, which feels lovely. Of the waiting staff, Tasos is friendly polite and courteous with a reliable attentiveness and quiet efficiency. Marios, Lambros, Vanessa and Dimitra were all warm, friendly and attentive, always happy"

"يقع 15-20 دق ريق بس التمشية تنزل من المركز. يربط جيد بس التراب خلفيات جميله ومسارات الدير. منظر خلاب على البلدة. خدمة لطيفة. هادئة جداً بين أشجار الصنوبر."

"غرفة لطيفة. منظر جميل. موقع لطيف سلام. سوبر حبيبة موظفة الاستقبال التي فعلت كل شيء للتأكد من أن إقامتنا كانت مذهلة. شكرا لك "

"Perfect solution for a holiday in Skiathos. Very central (halfway between the old port and the new port near the buses and the center) with parking, new structure with small rooms but equipped with all comforts (for us Italians the only thing missing is the bidet but that is never found) upon arrival you find a bottle of water and sweet and savory snacks that are refilled every day, Nespresso machine and kettle, small very comfortable shower clothes horse, kind and smiling owners, nearby there is a nice park for children. If you choose breakfast it is done in a partner restaurant and is mostly a savory breakfast. Highly recommended excellent value for money, top cleaning."

"Fantastic stay at this lovely hotel. Views were amazing and rooms were spacious and well equipped. Lovely staff who couldn’t do enough for you. Definatly be returning."

"موقع رائع ومرافق السكن انصح به"

"The studios are right across the street from the sea and there is a nice view of the bay from the rooms. The street though is quite noisy well into the evening. So its a balance. Room was nice spacy and clean - the kitchen utensils not so much. Very nice service, nice people."

"قضينا أسبوعا رائعا في أفاتون في غرفة تطل على الحديقة‑ وهي تتجاوز توقعاتنا بصدق الموقع ممتاز جدا مباشرة على محطة الحافلات 5 مما يسهل الوصول إلى المدينة مع ذلك تحيط به مطاعم ممتازة فقط عبر الطريق يطل على الخليج كانت إقامة ممتعة ومميزة من خلال إقامتنا حيث تميزت باللمسات الشخصية والخدمة المميزة من كل عضو في فريق العمل. وأوصيتهم بالمطاعم والشاطئ والرحلات تمكنا من تجربة سكياتس بطريقة لم نتمكن من إدارة الأمور بمفردنا. كما ساعدتنا أيضا في التعرف على بعض الأنشطة المتعلقة بالتنسيب والتي كانت موضع تقدير على مدار الساعة. بفضل العاملين في منتجع أفاتون، اكتشفنا فعلا أفضل جزيرة. قلبي شكرا‑you to Stami for her thoughtful advice and seamless restaurant booking, to Artea and the restaurant team for their warmth and those lovely breakfast touch including remembering our coffee order every morning and to Janri, الذين حافظوا على غرفتنا بلا تردد كل يوم. وبطبيعة الحال، سيرجيو، شاطئه والتوصيات به للوجبات كانت نقطة بلا توقف. كل عضو في فريق العمل ذهب إلى ما هو أبعد من ذلك لجعل عطلتنا في سكاي تيوس حقا الدرجة الأولى. لا يمكننا الانتظار للعودة وبالتأكيد سنقوم بإعادة الحجز في Avaton. شكرا مرة أخرى، ريتشارد & تيم"
