Hotel Alkyon Skiathos

Pros: Well situated Comfortable Hospitable Great value
Cons: Hostile to Expedia

The Hotel Alkyon is a fantastic value!

Pros:

1) the hotel is ideally located just off the harbor in Skiathos Town
2) the facilities are clean and spacious (minibar is a plus)
3) the beds are comfortable and the water is hot (there's tub, too!)
4) every room has a balcony with a sea view
5) the included breakfast is hearty and delicious
6) the pool is inviting
7) pets are welcomed
8) the price is an amazingly economical 50 EUR when the hotel compares favorably to hotels costing 150 EUR plus!
9) the staff is warm, friendly, English-speaking and helpful (another anomaly in Greece)

Cons:

10) they don't accept reservations through Expedia (even though Expedia provides a confirmation number). Solution: Book directly with the hotel.

Skiathos provides a much nicer island vacation destination than any of the Cyclades, with the exception of Santorini, and the Alkyon offers a luxurious resort feeling without flattening your wallet. To get the same feeling in Mykonos, for instance, you'll have to shell out at least 300 EUR.
