Takis Studios

despite the average size of all the rooms we got roaming back and forth thru the sporades here we've been assigned to a wide and sunny room facing the very wellcomed pool with a charming view on the north cost of the island equipped with a generous wardrobe and staff for coffe and tea accordingly bathroom is the best place where recover from a full day of sand, wind and burning sun the nearby of the airport does not turn in much disturb for a reasonably amount they serve a good and well assorted breakfast in summary a very good accomodation either for long stay and for the last-night before return flight it's a little tricky to get there we strongly suggest to rent a scooter

Firstly, unless you have transport (hire car, taxi) this property is unsuitable for those with mobility issues due to its location in the hills. The narrow track up is paved but very steep! It's a 25 min walk from the airport & 15 mins from the Amaretto Bar (where tourists and locals gather for the impressive airport views). If you're on foot it's pretty well signposted. When you arrive you're greeted by a charming little property and an immaculate swimming pool & bar. Reception is tucked away up some steps just beyond the pool. There are about 15 rooms, at least 1 of which seems to be a 2-bedroom apartment for up to 6 people. We had a studio with a superb view over the runway and the north of the island (as requested when booked — room 12). The studio was spacious and clean, & accessed using a traditional key (which means you can charge phones, etc. while you're out as no key-card needed for power). Good fridge but the kitchen worktop had no sink, hob or kettle. Balcony a good size & the shower was new and functional, with various settings and good water pressure. Toiletries replenished daily. The pool area is peaceful, however the small snack bar was not open due to it being low season. You really are in a secluded area & the proximity to the hilly wilderness means the surroundings are stunning. Hosts are very accommodating. Complimentary bottled water on arrival. On departure day we were given late checkout free since the property wasn't full & our flight wasn't till late.

Want to recommend a lovely place: Takis studio! Hearty hospitality, clean and tidy place, incredibly quiet with an amazing view! There is no describing how much we enjoyed the serenity! On the one hand close to the center, on the other hand, isolated from all the action! It's been a few months since then and there is not a day that we do not remember the days we visited Takis Studio! And most importantly: a warm attitude from the owner of the place and her family! Take care of everything for us! Help with any question and problem that has nothing to do with accommodation! Lovely people! Ah .. and a really homemade breakfast! Including cakes they make at home themselves !!! After Skiathos we continued to Rhodes and Athens, and nowhere did we enjoy the same level as in Takis! Miss! We will definitely be back!

Takis Studios is one of the best places we have stayed at. Surrounded by olive trees and pines, it is located high on a hill with a panoramic view encompassing the airport and the sea in the distance. It is 5 minutes by car from Skiathos Town and the airport. The building is renovated and the rooms are tasteful, clean and well-kept. The balconies with their tables and director's chairs offer relaxation, privacy, and a great view. Your stay there also guarantees a quiet sleep as it is far from the noise of the town. Airplanes not only are not a nuisance (take-offs and landings start after you get up and end much earlier than when you go to sleep), but they even offer an impressive spectacle. The children-friendly swimming-pool and the basketball court are a plus and, next to the pool, the breakfast area offers a standard breakfast with some additional home-prepared dishes and delicacies, which will keep you strong enough for the greater part of the day. The satisfaction you get by staying at this place is way higher than its prices suggest. But I left the best for last: this is a family-run business, a family of hard-working, kind, helpful and dignified people who will give you detailed information about the island and will be there for you for anything you might need. And this, I think, is the most precious value of this place. We've had a wonderful time there and I recommend Takis Studios without hesitation.
