Poros

Bill, Tammy, Marty and Galit spent a long weekend on Poros in July, 2007. We stayed at the Poros Image, a 4-star hotel. The restaurant and rooms were nice, but the beach is tiny and crowded with kids, not our favorite beach. Driving around the island it looks like there may be better beaches, but not a great island for sand.

Skiathos - Hotel Mira Mare

Bill and I stayed here for a few days in June of 2007. It is right on the beach (amazing sand beach) and we liked the room and the staff. They have free beach lounges for guests, but go out early and stake yours out with your towel to save a good one. The restaurant next door is really good, too. Mira Mare is next door to Anemoni Beach Hotel. We stayed at both, very comparable, but Mira Mare was a little cheaper and the beach lounges are free. Cost was about 65euros per night (I think).

Skiathos - Anemoni Beach Hotel

Bill and I stayed in this hotel for a few days in June, 2007. It is right on the beach and has a small restaurant/bar area. Beach lounges cost a few euros a day (and are free to guests at the Mira Mare next door). The hotel was clean, has AC and we liked the staff. About 70euros a night (I think).
