I'm glad and pleasantly surprised at the responses, what with it being out of season. Deborahh, I understand totally where you are coming from. I myself have stayed in some great places in Greece (I would go to Greece everytime by the way), it was just that it all seemed to come together rather well at this particular resort. We love peace and quiet through the day and quite frankly at the Mythos apartments it sometimes seemed like we had our own swimming pool. Also we can walk for miles whilst on our holidays and honestly this place was by far the best yet for our treks. We are normal by the way and by no means have hiking boots and maps and what have you. Then on an evening we can spend hours in one restaurant and the choice we found was quite exceptional. Also, without sounding like a cheapskate, we found the prices to be very reasonable compared to other resorts. We love Skiathos (we were there in June), but we spent a small fortune in comparison to San Stef.
Gillywoo, we stayed at the Mythos from 28th August for 10 nights. Did our paths cross?
Colin, we are from Gateshead (the posh end of course)
