Hotel Kanapitsa Mare

This is a good hotel, the hotel is spotless, breakfast is fabulous with plenty of choice and replaced regularly. Pool area is great but nobody seemed to use It with loads of beds. The nearest beach is nostos out of the hotel turn right 30 m to supermarket another 30 m to a gate that says beach down some steps and you are there less than 5 mins. The beach is very nice sunbeds 10 euros for 2 and brolly. Boat to skiathos from beach all day 4 Euro each way going every hour the evening ones to skiathos are at 5.30 6.30 7.30 & 8.20 returns at 10.20 & 11.00. The hotel has great views and staff are great bedrooms are basic Greek bedrooms perhaps if you were being picky you could say they are due a refurb but honestly they are fine and kept really clean. I would definitely stop here again.

We have been coming to Skiathos every 2 years for the last 20 years and normally would stay in catering facilities however my daughter whose 15 and myself decided partner staying at home we would treat ourselves . I paid the extra for the delux sea view and that’s what we got fantastic view can’t fault it such s beautiful location . room spacious plenty if room ro move clothes storage great and separate bathroom . however ugly balcony that’s constantly filled with water from the air conditioning system makes it impossible to sit out in morning or evening. we were told nothing could be done however never had any such issues in self catering apartments for last 20 years . table broken on edge ,ugly concrete balcony boxes no flowers just firn twig bushes people who paid less got chairs made of material and wood ours were ugly cheap plastic again better in self catering ! Biggest issue with the room shower hanging of at base reported 5 times still not fixed and biggest issue fir me personally was an unfixed glass top table on day 2 my daughter was sitting at the table in the room when she got up the table top flipped up in the air and the glass fell to the floor in a million pieces in the middle of it stood my shocked teenager crying and shaking visibly terrified I got her out there and to the bathroom and went to reception asked for manager told not there and i couldn’t speak to him no one came to see if my daughter was ok to check what had happened just sent the technician who just swept it up couldnt wait to get back to the bar stool where he spends a lot if time . still 10 days in no apology have to say table had no visible screw no suction cup and no hole in the area of the legs it was rested on and they give you leaflets how to stAy safe in the room .!luckily she was unharmed however Mr Manager waiting on that personal apology. besides that staff nice great waiter does the breakfast waits and bar till 2 most days really happy lovely guy and the receptionists as well nice ladies. speaking to other people its seems the same cheap concrete build ,no real love certainly not worth the price little bit of loving touches like pretty balconies flowers in pots and unbroken fixtures and fittings. Breakfast okay but needs a bit more variety if staying longer than a week. still hope you enjoy if you stay here its your personal time that makes the reviews and do the Mama mia tour with Kaylpso boats in the new harbour brilliant day really great fun. eating Windmill thanks Karen Mcann Johnnys book it worth it .
