“great base for discovery”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2011

The Hermes was a great place for a family holiday. Greece is more expensive that home;so things have changed. However, for us Greece is the perfect place to go.
The owners and his wonderful staff are thankfully hands off and mind their own business but tremendously friendly not only to us but everyone we saw.
We went with Thomson and booked one of their trips-moonlight meal and dance.
Rip off. So disappointing. There was no chouice in the food and the kids hated it. The only good thing was the beatiful music. The professional host was cynical and jaded. People were offended when he said if you don't dance you're boring. No feller, you are.
Book your own trips at Skiathos Town where you can buy trips at a much more reasonable price. I paid £30 for the Thomson trip and received just potatoes and a pile of green beans that I would have refused on a Sunday lunch circa 1978.
The main road is like the M25 but the only bad drivers were tourists - i.e first-timers on quad bikes thinking they're Peter Fonda with their girl on their rear (they wish.)

The Hermes is great-the air con did leak and the road up is steep, but George and his wife,the chefs, and ZZ and Denise offer a quality of service that made our holiday so much more than it could have been.

“Well, we had a great time”

We stayed at the Hermes for the first time this year and we will definitely be back, we found the apartments clean and well furnished although the air con played up one day, however it was fixed in no time at all and with no drama's. I'd like to answer a couple of criticisms as well of the Hermes, first of all if people had bothered to checked the info board next to the bar they would seen the times the reception was open and secondly Mark and Denise did a really good job considering the hour they were expected to be at work, so dont let people put you off the hermes, its a nice set of appartments in a nice spot on the island, we'll be back.

“Fabulous Holiday”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011

people found this review helpful

The Hermes Appartments are the best we've stayed in for Greece. The water temperature was erratic but overall the appartments were spotless. The island was fabulous too. Plenty of great beaches and a very good bus service to get to them. The food at Hermes was fabulous and reasonably priced but the drinks were expensive. We found the people we met at Hermes were good company and like minded to ourselves. The only downside was the steep slope to get to the appartments from the main road. Definitely unsuitable for people with walking difficulties. Will definitely go back.

“Lovely Island”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2011

people found this review helpful

We have just arrived home from the Hermes Appartments having had a lovely 2 weeks in Skiathos. As usual for Greece the rooms were only basic but better than a lot we've stayed in over the years. A higher wattage bulb in the toilet might have helped and the temperature of the water was very erratic. Nevertheless they cleaned every day bar Sunday by very cheerful cleaners. We ate in the restaurant afew times and the food was good and not over priced (unlike the beer, 3.50 a bottle!). Service was ok and Denise always seemed to make it a cheerful experience. Unlike Mark, we found him rather cynical and cantankerous - I know it was the end of a long season but I don't see that as an excuse to be generally offhand.
There is no shortage of other places to eat locally - our favourite was Platanias in Kolios. The food was excellent, though slightly more expensive, but the service was first class. You don't have to go far to find a lovely beach we thought Vromolimnos was the best locally and Koukounaries and Troulos are only a few minutes bus ride away - the bus service is excellent by the way. skiathos Town is only a few minutes by bus and is very pretty, however you seem to be constantly dodging motorcycles weaving their way through the narrow streets.
All in all we had agood time at the Hermes, Thanks Denise, especially for the music, we might go back one day.
