Alkyon Hotel

We stayed at Alkyon Hotel for 3 nights before travelling on to Skopelos and I couldn’t recommend this hotel more! It was so convenient being 5 minutes drive from the airport and on the sea front. It was less than 5 minutes walk from the main strip of restaurants along the front of the port but slightly out of the main town area so was quiet at night. The main bus stop for the town is right outside too which was great. The staff are fantastic! Evi at reception was extremely helpful, booking our Lalaria boat trip and a restaurant for us during our stay. They were also able to recommend a sheltered beach for us to visit on a windier day which we had a lovely time at, and there is always a member of staff to greet you at the entrance. The hotel and room itself was always clean and our balcony had a view of the sea which was great! The buffet breakfast was superb with a huge choice of food and is located upstairs so has an amazing view out to sea while you eat. The bar area downstairs was also lovely and had a great choice of cocktails. Although we didn’t use the pool much due to being so busy in our short stay, it seemed very nice with lots of sun loungers and chairs around. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay - I would definitely stay at Alkyon Hotel again and recommend to friends!

Right on water near many restaurants and across from town. Very convenient.

Very friendly and helpful staff, clean excellent location! Will return again

There’s much to like about the hotel aside from its ideal location near the port, airport and Skiathos town. We received complementary drinks upon our check in and a complimentary bottle of wine if we dined at the hotel restaurant next door, (which we did); food and service was excellent there. Rooftop hot buffet breakfast was top-notch and had a great view of the harbor. Room decor seemed a bit dated but the beds were comfortable and room was clean overall. Pool area was rather small and lots of families were using it— the hotel was the first that I’ve seen to have its own pool lifeguard. Lobby area was spacious, clean, and had a bar with table side service. I would stay here again given the chance.
