  We spent a few good evenings in The Paradosi 11 years ago. Christos and Soula were great hosts; we enjoyed their company very much. We shall be paying them a visit in Kolios. Am I right in say the Diamond Apartments and Taverna are near the Infinity Blue and which bus stop number is nearest? Thanks in advance. |

Phil, the Diamond Apartments can be accessed from Bus Stop 15 near Infinity Blue. Take the lane opposite BS15 and follow it passed Infinity Blue for about 300 yards. The Apartments are opposite the supermarket. Christos and Soula now run the small taverna at the apartments.
Once you see the apartments, you will be wanting to book your next visit staying at them! We have stayed with them 4 times so far.

We looked at the website this year but we found a deal to Taxiarchis with Olympic Holidays which was to good to refuse. TBH we wanted a base in the town to avoid the late night bus ride/crush.

To add, Diamond do really lovely meals in the evening. Great if like us you stay in the Kolios area & really can't be bothered (ha ha) to go into town or even walk down the hill to Pareskevi!

There is also the lovely Xanthi bar, just past IB, for a drink or two before or after your meal! A great little bar run by two wonderful hosts, Matina and Bill. They also run a fun quiz night and barbecue on a Monday night.

We also spent many a happy evening at Paradosi Taverna which we discovered in 2007 when we also stayed at Morfo (now called Morfia). One memorable evening was in 2009 on the night that Soula gave birth to their second Son & Christos just kept bringing everyone drinks, we were staying in AP that year & we can't remember how we got back there!!
We visit Christos & Soula & their lovely children every year to have a meal at Diamond Taverna

That's one thing that's so special about Skiathos, you don't return to visit same apartments, but rather to visit friends

Windy, i think we were there that night, when Maria was born, although it might have been when her first born George was born. Its hard to remember.

We are Returning for the sixth time to Skiathos Diamond The setting is so beautiful and peaceful and the apartment and pool area very well cared for. There are I know lots of lovely places on Skiathos but what brings us back here is the warmth and friendliness of Soula and Christos. My daughter has stayed twice and is considering coming along again this year. If you cannot get on a bus into town in the evening there are always taxis around who will give a good price into town and if four/five at the bus stop agree to share it works out just as cheap as the bus. Very comfortable and very fast!

Actually Woody I've got the year wrong, it was 2008 & would've been July. Now I'm thinking it was Maria's birth that we were celebrating!!

We were in the Paradosi the night Christos was clucking round like a mother hen, as Soula was giving birth in Thessaloniki (I think). Lots of free food and drink that night  |
