Troulos, Beltsios Studios and Apartments

Just returned from yet another stay at the Beltsios, the family are fantastic at the end of the day you are in holiday in another country therefore, accept the people for who they are, not what you would like them to be. Facilities are spotless, surroundings fab - weather can be mixed but hey its a lush island ....! If you enjoy football Tony will become your best mate............. roll on May/June 2010! Brian will hopefully ensure that my G & T is ready!

Have been back from the Beltsios apartments for just over 1.5 weeks & wishing I was still there. After reading some of the bad reviews re these apts I had my reservations but could not have faulted any of the facilities or the staff. We had a fab time. I would definately recommend these apts & will be returning at some point in the future.

Been to skiathos 8 times and stayed at the beltsios 4/5 times -would return year after year as when we try other destinations around europe we always feel disapointed and wish we were @ the beltsios - we have a 8 year old boy whp played all day long with the greek family and his other friends. The owners are very very friendly and will do anything to help - I can't understand anyone who could find one single thing to complain about-although you do get moaners who will complain about anything! Its not every day a sparrow will take food from your hand -and they make the best strawberry bellinis -you will ever have! Will contine to return year after year x

Wow! What a fantastic holiday me and my boyfriend have just spent at the Beltsios Apartments in Troulos. The owners are very welcoming and friendly, the apartments are very clean and well maintained and the poolside is just really relaxing. Snack-side food is gorgeous (try the tuna salad!) and drinks are well priced. Beach is over the road with plenty of other beaches across nearby coasts- Koukonaries lovely and a nice 30 min walk from apartments (take a picnic though as beach-side bars here quite expensive). Tavernas around Troulos are pretty with delicious food; friendly, generous staff and relaxing atmosphere (try Nectar Ambrosia on main road - gorgeous!). Troulos beach-side snack bars fine for day-time food. We were in awe of Skiathos town - the cobbled streets are fabulous and the harbour is so beautiful with cosy little shops and tavernas. Try Dino's for a gyros plate, or Nikos for Chef's salad. If you fancy a complimentary dessert try El Greco, although the service there is more formal and food that little bit more expensive. We want to go back now, now, now!

The Beltsios Studios and Apartments are a fantastic place to stay and Skiathos is a beautiful island, so much so that we have been to Skiathos and the Beltious 5 time now... Cannot fault either... The staff are fantastic, lovely people who make you very welcome... would recommend it to anyone.

If you visit Skiathos, do try to travel on the buses even if you only do it once as it is an experience...

The owners are the nicest people you will ever come across. Me and my partner have just had the best holiday ever. Everything was 10/10. Thank you! Cant wait for next year!!

I stayed at the Beltsios in Troulos last year and had a fantastic time. It was very clean and absolutely beautiful.

Very close to the beach and a short taxi ride to Skiathos Town, I would go back tomorrow.

lets be honest here, all holidays are subjective and no one place is going to suit all the people all the time but personally I think some of the reviews are a bit wide of the mark and hyper critical. the Beltsios is a super little place on a super little island, it doesn't set out to be 5 star but it does set out to be good at what it does which is a mid priced, smaller hotel trying to give all the guests the same honest treatment. I thought the place was great, we had 2 weeks last June and heard no excessive noise at any time either from the pool area or pool bar. Then again I am not stupid enough to expect that I will be the only guest, Other holidaymakers have a different take on what a good time is which may include late night drinking but hey, it happens in England too !!!! . We enjoyed ourselves so much we are returning this June again and if the holiday is half as good as last year then it will be fine by me. By the way, if you go anywhere in the world and something is not quite right you can always mention it at the time and not leave it until after and be disrespectful.

Troulos is a great quiet resort - Nector & Ambrosia taverna is quality food in a great setting. The sunshine taverna cannot be faulted for good value ( and plenty of it) with the host a funny friendly man. The beach is safe to swim - with lovely warm water to swim in.

l loved the place and will return - but not to the Beltsios - its a real shame because the location is good - the apartments are set out nicely - just the night noise is not what I had expected or wanted

I have been to Skiathos a number of times and have returned to the Beltsios on three occasions because it is such a well run friendly, clean, relaxing place to be.

The family are so welcoming and I would recommend for anyone to go. I am not a "larger lout" nor do I enjoy being kept up all night by loud music, this is exactly why I chose to stay at the Beltsios in Troulos as it as quiet resort.

I have no idea why some people on this site have slated it so much?

It is a wonderful place to visit.
