My wife and I have stayed at Alkmene three times now and were a bit concerned by the negative reviews this year. However on arrival we were please to find almost everything in good repair. New sink in the bathroom with a plug that worked. New toilet and cistern. The fridge in good condition and a new oven. One of... More

We have been going to Skiathos now for over 10 years and have never done a package. Wanting a last minute trip to the island before the winter set in, we couldnt find flights and starting searching for a cheap package. Olympic came up with Alkmene. There are often quite negative reviews about the Alkmene Studios and we had our... More

We stayed for 7 nights, booked through Olympic Holidays. I was a bit worried after reading some of the reviews, but needn't have been. We had a ground floor studio, facing out on to the garden. Basic but clean. Two single beds, cooking facilities and fridge, bathroom with shower. We had a sweet little terrace looking out over the garden.... More

Booked on a last minute deal through Thomas Cook. After reading the reviews here, we were a little concerned about what we had let ourselves in for! Very pleasantly surprised-the accommodation is basic (but that's what I've been told Greece is like in general!) It's incredibly clean, someone came in and cleaned and tidied whilst we were out every day,... More

I have just returned August 10 from a two week stay. I was on top floor overlooking at the back of the property - room was like a furnace. No air conditioning - fans are 3 euros per night. Because of the heat this room is only suitable for sleeping on if you can sleep in the heat! It is... More

We travel to skiathos every year but this was the first time we have stayed in town. We loved staying in the town and strolling around in the evening and watching the world go by. No bus rush at the end of the evening and not any more expensive than out of town. The studios are located 5 mins walk... More

we stayed here the last week of the season never again not very clean did not get towels changed half a shower door rep just laughed when we told her never saw anyone in charge of studios glad we didnt pay full price only good point is its position

Poor studios that are beyond basic. Creaky twin beds, a tiny balcony with no room to swing a cat and an enclosed shower with only one shower door (there were supposed to be two) which meant we flooded the bathroom each time we showered. Our poor next door neighbours didn't even have one shower door so their flooding was worse!... More

Booked last minute for myself & a friend. Great value & location. Only downside no aircon but you can hire fans for €3 a day. Can be a little noisy on front from scooters up & down, but not enough to be a real nuisance. Close to Papadimantis Street full of bars, shops & restaurants. Plus the old port and... More
