Hotel Troulos Bay

We visited for dinners and drinks many times over years and this is a wonderful venue on beach with great pool bar and restuarant ! Great service and friendly accommodating staff from front desk to waiters owners bar ! Very peaceful holiday overlooking beach ! Restuarant is well organised with good food efficient service and very friendly staff. Menu is varied and changes every evening with good selection of-accompanying drinks wine and beers

we stayed just a week end of august. the weather was perfect and the hotel was set in a lovely location , The hotel is small and has no frills no entertainment but is all you need . The pool area is good and open so you never feel hot and bothered, the sunbeds were comfortable, the only problem was some of the customers "book" the beds with their towels and then never sit on them. We did the same when we were only planning to sit a few hours rather than have to pay for a beach bed (8 euros per set) We sat on the sun beds for about 3 hours and could see some of the "booked" beds still had not been used before we left around lunch time ! not good, when people can come and go if people don't put towels on them, The beach is lovely and the sea is nice and calm and if you are lucky you get a visit from the family of swans. Its worth the 8 euros to sit on the beach its quite quiet compared to some places. not many sellers just the thai massage people but they didn't hassle us. There is the hotel restaurant for a midday snack or evening which was good and the waiters are really polite and good at their job. Breakfast was just ok, nothing special but you won't starve. The room was clean and tidy and the cleaner was a lovely girl who always stopped to say hello. Everywhere was clean and tidy and all the staff worked very hard. The bar inside at night was quiet , would have been nice to have an outside bar at night. Last day we had an afternoon flight we were not allowed to keep the room but they do have a shower room which we used so we could sit by the pool before we left. There is a supermarket just up the track to the main road for you water, fridge in the room. safe in the room and hairdryer but no kettle. Main road acros the top a bit busy and you need to take care at night and walk in single file. Some restaurants are off another track the other side of the road to the hotel, just goodle before you go so you know where to look. Bus to skiathos is 2 euros bus stop is by kebab shop, there's a bench, buses are very busy , one night the bus came about 7.30 and the people were nearly up for fighting trying to get on the bus. My advice go early or a bit later or even have a taxi about 20 euros . we did an island hop trip to skopolos and alonissos which was a good day out, also went into skiathos town in the town. Its a lovely place for a good peaceful holiday and plenty of good places to eat and drink
