Just returned from two wonderful weeks at the hermes apartments, and sat here now wishing myself back there. We stayed in a studio room which was large and spacious with excellent facilities. Not that there's any need to cook when staying at the hermes, it has a wonderful on site taverna and delicious meals prepared by a great chef. The apartments are family run and by the end of the holiday the staff all feel like lifelong friends. The apartments are in close proximity to three beaches we preferred kolios and nostros and the bus service into skiathos town is easy to use. You must try the cushion bars at the end of the old port in skiathos the atmosphere is amazing. All in all a fantastic holiday for couples of all ages and we will definately be going back just as soon as we can.

Just got back from skiathos and the hermes apartments. Had to shed a few tears when we left. We had a 2 bed apartement to ourselves as we booked quite late- it was fantastic. Ample living area with 2 good sized bedrooms upstairs, However the pool area, bar, restaurant and, most of all the staff are what makes the hermes sooo special.The owner Kristos is fantastic and even rang when we got home to make sure we arrived safe, saying that the staff aren't pushy or in your face and will leave you be if you so wish. The food is some of the best i've ever eaten you have to try the village meat dish its an absolute delight.
My husband and i normally go further afield to long haul destinations and weren't sure how much we'd enjoy it but, skiathos really does have it all. The town is quite cosmopolitan great for people watching especially around the port area, the beaches are gorgeous and, the apartments were ideal. I can't imagine anyone could not enjoy skiathos its the nicest place i've ever been. We'll be going back to stay in the hermes many times in the future for sure!

We have just come back from the Hermes in Kolios, and all we can say is absolutley brilliant. (honestly) the Hermes were more than we ever expected, we had one of the appartments and we had a FULL size fridge/freezer, hairdryer, shower curtain (not normal for greece) good size balcony, the whole place was very clean, modern, excellent location skiathos town is very easliy accessable via the local bus outside, the staff are very friendly. The best place to eat in Kolios is the taverna at the Hermes... the prices are one of the cheapest on the island and the food is fresh..... There are many sandy beaches within walking distance (beware no footpaths).. Restaurants in Skiathos town = the one's on the port side are very expensive, BUT walk down the narrow streets and look for the more traditional and more cheaper ones, there are many..
Skiathos is a beautiful Island and YOU wont be dissapointed if you like a more traditional holiday... We did however have 6 days of dodgy weather (most amazing thunderstorm!!!) would go back tommorow if i could.... enjoy...

My partner and I stayed at the Hermes appartments in June last year and I have to say that it surpassed all of our expectations!
We booked our holiday through the local travel agents and were a little apprehensive as it was sooo cheap, but upon arrival we really couldn't fault it at all. The nearest beach (Vromolimnos) was absolutely gorgeous - only about 10-15 mins walk - and it was so beautiful you felt like you could have been in Barbados or anywhere, but for about 1/8th of the price!!!
The appartments themselves were basic, but spotless. The pool was lovely (3M deep at one end) and the terrace area looked brand new. We spent many lazy mornings (often hungover!) lying on the sunbeds with stunning views of the surrounding hillside.

I would definitely go back to Skiathos and stay in the same accomodation, the only bad part of our stay was having to leave! For anyone visiting Skiathos, I would recommend that you book a boat trip around the island, as you get to visit some gorgeous beaches that are only accessible by boat and have them all to yourself!

I hope that this review has been useful, in case you can't tell by what I've written I definitely recommend this place!
