Skiathos - Hotel near the Bananas

August 2007 - Crappy hotel (80 EURO), crappy room, but interesting island.

KyungHee: Hotel was next to eee - mmm - world famous beach. Long word. If you walk 10 or 15 mins you reach Little Banana and big banana. This is a very interesting and nice beach.

Galit: Crap

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).
