La Luna Studios and Apartments

We arrived after booking just four weeks before we traveled having never been to Skiathos before. The view from our room was even better than the photos on here and on the TUI website. We were in a split level apartment in the older block and found we had everything we needed including lots of storage and 2 toilets! The outside clothes line with pegs came in very useful after a swim in the sea. The hotel is very well maintained and is a credit to the hard working team at La Luna we would definitely stay again without any hesitation. As mentioned in previous reviews the hotel is built on a hillside but there are two lifts to take you from the road to the accommodation area. These are handy if you’re carrying shopping back from the supermarket. Also the hotel is on a blind bend in the road so you need to be careful when walking into Troulos or to bus stop 21 but we used the roads to walk everywhere and never had a problem. There are charges for air con, the safe and of course the Greek room tax. We had the safe but due to weather being cooler at night in mid September we didn’t need air con. The bbq on a Sunday is a must and well done again to the team for the work they put in to make it successful. Our week went way to quick which is always a good sign that you’ve had a good holiday!

We really enjoyed our stay here. We were allocated one of the highest rooms, which are the more modern ones on the complex, however this is a steep walk up even with the lifts on each level. If you have mobility issues probably best to request a room lower down. We were lucky that in the evenings the temperature dropped significantly, so I could manage the climb. The staff are lovely and really helpful and friendly. Spiros supplied us with a generous amount of mineral water for our room, which we were extremely grateful for in light of the long walk. Breakfast was a hot and cold selection in a lovely coverered location looking down on the pool area. Facilities were great. The only thing we did not like which is nothing to do with the hotel is that there is no street lights and no pedestrian path, therefore walking to the beach and the tavernas is mostly on the road, so you will need a torch, or the light on your phone to make sure the cars see you. This felt precarious, but would not stop us from returning as we absolutely loved Skiathos! Thank you Spiros and your staff, you do a wonderful job!!

My husband and I have recently returned from a wonderful relaxing 12 day stay in Skiathos. We stayed in one of the highest apartments in the new block. Our room was lovely and modern with an excellent shower and amazing views over Troulos bay, Yes the hill was steep but we were pleased about this as walking up is good for you. We had numerous offers of lifts up in a buggy up to our room but declined each time as we preferred to walk, We did have our cases taken up to our room at the start of the holiday. We always walked up the drive from the road but it was an easy option to use the lifts or steps if you preferred . We often walked directly across the road to the path and steps that take you down to Troulos beach which was lovely. Lots of fish in the sea near the shore line,We ate out at all the restaurants on Troulos beach and enjoyed them all. The bus system is fantastic and regular buses take you up and down the road to Skiathos town and numerous other beachs. We always walked up and down from bus stop 21. There is more room at the side of the road going up hill to 21. Use the mirrors across the road to help with crossing, We always found this easy. Of course if you have young children you will need to hold their hands but this is just common sense, The staff at the hotel are friendly and professional and willing to help in any way. They were all amazing. Breakfast was good value for money and there was plenty of choice. The hotel was very clean and tidy everywhere. The Sunday night barbecue was fun and good value for money. I am not a meat eater but enjoyed the pasta and salads. So many people we met in Skiathos had been to visit the Island numerous times before and intended visiting again in the future.We now underatnd why and we to will visit again. There are numerous places to eat out locally and close to any of the bus stops along the route. Our favourite view when eating out was a little place with magnificent views over the harbour near a little chapel. You turn right and go up steps near the bottom on the main shopping street in Skiathos town. The food is nice and similar standard to many but the views are to die for. If you hire a jeep you can visit some amazing beaches on the North of the Island. Some of them can be walked to from bus stop 24 or 25. When we holiday again in Skiathos we will defintely stay at La Luna - it was such a great base for our travels and we were happy with everything.
