Theodora Studios

Had a wonderful 2 weeks at Theodora , if your looking for a laid back relaxing holiday look no further. Family run accommodation and everyone so lovely and friendly making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Theodore studios are set in beautiful immaculately kept grounds and the pool area, with comfortable sunbeds is simply lovely. Towels can also be borrowed for the pool at no charge. Pool bar serves snacks all day and the restaurant for evening meals, all home cooked, is excellent. Accommodation is spacious and has living/sleeping area, kitchenette which has enough for your needs for simple self catering meals. Bathroom with excellent shower, though no curtain so take care stepping out onto wet tiles! We had a top floor apartment with pleasant balcony. A lot of steps to reach it but worthwhile for the stunning views. Cleaning is done daily (except Sunday) with daily towel change and linen changed every second day. Dressing gowns and slippers are also provided. Theodora is situated about 800mts from the main road up a dirt/cobble road so access not too ideal for anyone with walking difficulties, but the area as a whole is lovely. There are also several other restaurants in the vicinity too all well worth a try. Skiathos is absolutely stunning and so are Theodora Studios. Would 100% recommend.

My second stay at the Theodora ( its been 3 years apart) was as before an absolute pleasure. The restaurant area has undergone an major refurbishment and patrons can enjoy the amazing scenery while dining. Maria was on hand as was ' Tim' as he likes to be called to make sure all was running smoothly. I arrived early (1300) which caused a delay in my room was not yet available. However, this issue was solved and Maria kindly kept me topped up with free drinks and a snack while I waited for the room to become mine. I was on the ground floor this time and although it was a luxury apartment, I think I would have liked a balcony luxury room as before as the views are fantastic. The coach trip to the hotel was a little touch and go as the driver failed to call out my hotel stop and I only got off at the right stop ( 15) as I knew it. Despite the tour representative assuring my hotel was on the list she also didn't actually mention it when reading out the list of hotel stops. Your luggage is delivered by a separate truck which arrived about half an hour later. The reason for this is the track to the apartments is to narrow for a coach. However, a taxi will cost about 13 euros if you prefer to go with your luggage from the airport. The theodora is such a quiet place to stay and the pool is really enjoyable to relax in. There are also some nice hill side treks close by and the views of Kolios bay are well worth the effort but not for persons with mobility issues or don't have much stamina.I cant wait to return to the Theodora. Its really a gem and its nice to have met people who stayed there on my previous holiday. You also have a number of restaurants along the road/ track and a supermarket. A walk to the beach or town is about 12 minutes. Check it out, you wont be disappointed but do remember the hotel will require a room tax fee to be paid at the end of your holiday - although it is only a small fee. This is now quite common on the Greek islands.
