Prekas Studios and Bungalows

We stayed at Prekhas studios for one week on our first trip to Skiathos. We stayed in the bungalow in the grounds. This was well equipped with everything that you would expect from a basic style accommodation. The beds were comfortable and this is the first time in Greece that we have had a dry bathroom after taking a shower! The gardens are lovely and the whole place is peaceful and quiet. There is a restaurant attached - La Calma which serves excellent food. Prekas studios are a 5 to 10 minute walk from a great beach and of course from the all important bus stop (no. 16), where buses run regularly to Skiathos town (about 15 minutes away). If we return to Skiathos we would definitely stay here again.

The grounds and garden areas are well kept, the pool area also nice and clean and fairly quite during the day. the rooms are basic, beds comfy for greek beds, we had two pillows which were new and lovely and soft. if you wanted to self cater, there was one mid sized pan, one small frying pan, a chopping board. then two of every thing crockery, cups and that sort of stuff. Plenty of hot water, you had to hold shower head no hook on wall. we could not sleep with doors open due to the old couple up early in the room next door as the balconies are quite open , so you can hear people talking. The restaurant was lovely the food was well presented and the service good. We attended the cooking demonstration which was interesting and included lunch, and we were stuffed, Maria was very generous with the portions. There is a kettle, a toaster and a hair drier in the room, ladies if you have long hair i would still take your own hair drier. the beach is a ten mimuet stroll away, its a sandy beach and does get get quite busy, there are lots of sun beds down there to rent or an area where you can just lay on the sand if you prefer. there are lots of nice restaurants in the area, and the local bus is great, we were bust stop 16, if you go into town you can get off at bust stop 4 and walk down to the port of just stay on to the terminus. We like the island, had a visit to the dog shelter, they do an amazing job in difficult situation , they have no running water or electric. the place is spotless and the dogs well cared for, they have a facebook page if you want to have a look. we did a trip on a yacht, which we really enjoyed. we were spending around 50 euros on a meal for two, starters, main, and a litre of house red.

My wife and I spent 2 weeks in June at this marvelous venue, our third trip in 5 years. Of the dozens of Greek islands I have visited, Skiathos seems to have the highest ratio of UK return tourists. Prekas Studios very much follows that pattern, and I think we only spoke to 2 couples for whom this was their first visit. One of these couples had stayed at 4 different properties on the island and were so impressed with these studios that they booked their 2019 holiday while on their sunbeds! I can only really endorse the positive comments of previous reviews. Great location, only 10 minutes stroll from about a dozen tavernas - our favorites are Mastrali, Avli, Pegasus and Jimmy's, plus of course the amazing Calma on site. Supermarket just 20 metres from the property, sandy beach 10 minutes away, wonderful walks into the mountains and woods directly from the Studios, Quiet, clean pool with plenty of sunbeds. Air conditioning costs 6 euros a day. Safety deposit box free. 10 minutes walk to main road and "Bus Stop 16" - timetable varies through the season, but buses are about every 15 or 20 minutes. 20 minute ride to Skiathos Town for 1.60 euros. It would be nit-picking to find fault with this superb holiday destination, and I wouldn't rule out another visit in the next few years.
