My partner and I stayed at one of Manos's apartments for three nights. Our verdict? Simply put, "Wow!" Would we recommend it? "Hell yes, thrice over!"
If you're into bite-sized positivity, that pretty much sums it up. But if you're looking for more detail, read on.
First off, the location: these apartments are perfectly situated. Close enough to town that you can roll down a small hill to dive into the Skopelos action, but far enough to avoid the town's lively chaos when you just need to chill and recharge.
The apartment? A simple format but brilliant. You've got your essentials: bathroom, bed, and a mini kitchen for when you fancy playing chef with a moka pot or a stovetop meal. There's an air conditioner that actually works (hallelujah!), so you can set the temperature to your exact level of comfort. Step outside, and there's a cute little terrace with a table, chairs, and an air dryer for your soggy beachwear.
And then there's Manos. This guy isn't just a host; he's a freaking legend. From the moment we arrived, greeted by his huge grin, Manos made us feel like VIPs in our own little paradise. He’s a treasure trove of local knowledge, helping us get our bearings in no time. Plus, he’s all about those personal touches—like the scrumptious homemade dish he whipped up for us. Talk about a welcome feast! From the moment we stepped in to the minute we reluctantly checked out, everything was smooth sailing. Thanks to Manos, the simple yet awesome apartment, and its killer location near the buzzing heart of Skopelos, our stay was nothing short of amazing. Our peace and love to goes out to Manos...
Read moreOur stay at Manos Studios & Apartments in Skopelos was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we arrived, Manos, the host, was there to greet us with warmth and genuine hospitality. After a long journey, we were welcomed with two bottles of water, a thoughtful gesture that set the tone for our entire stay.
What truly made our experience memorable was Manos’ incredible generosity. Almost every day, he surprised us with delicious homemade Greek dishes, such as Moussaka and Pappoutsaki, which he clearly prepared with love and care. His passion for cooking was evident in every bite, and it was a delightful touch to our stay.
Manos went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. He was always proactive, asking if we needed anything or if we required advice on exploring the island. On our first day, he even gave us a lift to the beach, which was greatly appreciated.
The accommodation itself was impeccably clean, with Manos personally taking care of the housekeeping every day. His attention to detail and commitment to his guests’ comfort really stood out.
We can only thank Manos from the bottom of our hearts for his kindness and effort. His warm hospitality and personal touch truly made our holiday special. We highly recommend Manos Studios & Apartments to anyone visiting Skopelos – you won’t be disappointed!

Read moreStaying at Manos' place is pure pleasure...you can't see the sea from the window (at least from my window) but the view of the city in the distance and the atmospheric Greek houses scattered on the hill has its own unique atmosphere...a very quiet place...a guesthouse surrounded by trees.. ..7 minutes to the center...three minutes to the Sklavenitis market...rooms perfectly clean...daily change of towels and bed linen...room equipped with everything you need...air condition ..fan, electric kettle, small stove, plates, etc... A separate topic is the owner... Manos is the most positive Greek I have ever met... a very positive man... not intrusive... very helpful... he offers something to eat every day in the afternoon... he cooks very well... we liked it very much... his mother told us that he does it because he likes it... he likes cooking and he likes to please others... it's not an exclusive hotel... but it's places like this that make us like Greece .I'm sure I'll come back there again...and I can recommend this place...
