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.

This hotel is situated about a 5 minute walk away from the main road which you walk down when being dropped off by coach and your luggage comes separate on a smaller lorry as the coach can’t get down the road to the hotel. On arrival we were greeted by Nikos the owner who showed us to our room and sorted out us having air conditioning. Rooms are basic with a small kitchen area with a fridge, 2 little Hobs and a sink there was plenty of plates and basic utensils. We were located on the second floor and had a room for 3 as we had our son with us. Rooms are clean very well, they are not cleaned on a Sunday as I believe it is the cleaners rest day but this is no real drama Pool area The pool area is beautiful it is made up of a big pool and a small child’s pool there are plenty of sun beds for the number of guest although some still insisted on getting up ridiculously early to put there towels out. Please remember this is a family hotel so if you don’t like kids then probably not for you although there was only our son at this hotel when we stayed some grumpy older people took offence to our 2 year old singing away to himself in the pool they then went on to complain about him to the tui rep who simply told them to go to another pool as after witnessing our son in the pool numerous times couldn’t see any issue with what he was doing ! Located in a lovely area the owner is very nice wouldn’t hesitate to go back !
