Prekas Studios and Bungalows

First time on the island of Skiathos so was unsure what to expect of it and our destination, Prekas Studios and Bungalows! After a 5-minute walk from the drop off point to Prekas I was glad to see the bar (it was so hot). The man behind the bar walked straight out to greet us and take us to our room (I later found out that the man was the co-owner Nikos). The room was as I’d expect for a self-catering booking, but was better equipped than I expected with a lovely balcony overlooking the pool and bar area. Word of advice, as for the key to the safe as soon as you arrive, saves asking later. The pool area was immaculate and was exactly as shown, if not better. Quiet, relaxed and only enough sun loungers for guests. The pool closes at 6pm, but you can carry on soaking the sun until you’ve had enough. My daughter and I had food at the bar/restaurant that evening, service was excellent, staff spoke excellent English and were so friendly and helpful, the food was superb, massive portions but so tasty, you could tell it was cooked by someone who cares. The local supermarket is literally across the road, I would say 20metres from the bar area, it has the essentials and is reasonably priced. I spoke to most other guests and the majority had been coming to Prekas for years, one couple and their grand-daughter had been every year for the last 16yrs, that speaks volumes. I would not hesitate to recommend Prekas to a anyone looking for a quiet, lovely place to stay, I emphasise the word quiet.

This was our fifth visit to Prekas and once again we had another superb holiday. The setting is lovely just up a road from the beach area. The rooms are clean and regularly serviced. The food at the Calma restaurant at the hotel is so good with a good choice and reasonable prices. Would recommend the fish night on Saturday...beautiful fresh sea bream! Nikos and Maria are fantastic hosts and really make the effort to make you welcome. If you want a nice relaxing holiday in a great location I would thoroughly recommend Prekas to you. The bus service to other beaches and into Skiathos town is easy to use and cheap. We visited several other beaches whilst here and if you like walking there are some lovely places to walk too. We are returning next year.

Stayed here for two weeks 6th August untill the 20th. The apartments are in a good location with plenty of taverns near by and a supermarket directly next door. Very peaceful around the pool and no problems with Sun beds. Beach is only a 10min walk away, which is lovely. There is a restaurant on site which serves good food. Apartments are a bit tired looking and you do not get maid service every day although bins do get emptied every day. I felt that if you were a regular which most guests are you were welcomed with open arms. Nicos the owner at first I thought he was a grumpy bugger. But I feel its just the way he is unless you are a regular! But saw a different side to him with a young boy that was staying there his brilliant with kids. I would go back one day. SKIATHOS is truly my favourite Greek island. So many things are right with the set up with these apartments just seem to he something lacking can't put my finger on it! I think we like a set up were we can sit around the bar in the evening but due to the restaurant being on site this is awkward.
