Skopelos , Chora

  Perfect on a budget  – We went to Pension Sotos for two weeks and then added a third then a fourth!
This is almost a secret! A great little pension of 12 rooms right on… read more the port, alongside all the bars and restaurants.

The rooms are €20 a night, even with three people. An absolute bargain! This is a historic building with spacious rooms. All are en-suite with a small shower. They have a fridge, TV and air-con. The building has two lovely sun terraces, one overlooking the harbour activity.

There are three rooms overlooking the harbour, one has a balcony. The other rooms overlook the terraces.

The owner is Alexandra. She is lovely and very helpful. She allows you to use a small kitchen and the washing machine.

In short it is perfectly located, well appointed and cheap as chips. Don’t expect the Hilton, expect charm!

  Superb guesthouse  – Superb guesthouse right in the centre of Skopelos. We felt relaxed comfortable and welcome from the moment we walked in the door. Alexandra is a wonderful hostess. Old-style guesthouse and… read more great value. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

  Excellently located accomodation  – Located in one of the best positions possible slap bang on the port front of Skopleos, the traditionally styled accommodation of Pension Kir Sotos is both comfortable and always kept… read more immaculately clean.
Alexandra the proprietor, an exceptional ‘one woman wonder’, cannot do enough to ensure your stay is the best it can possibly be. She will assist/advise/point you in the right direction for any of your queries and needs, and is one of the most genuine and kindest hosts you could imagine for.
Thank you Alex, and I can’t wait to return to the sunshine of Skopelos again!

  Fantastic little pension  – We stayed at this pension as two families of four (two adults and two children age 10 and 8) on a mini break visit from Skiathos.
It’s a great location,… read more just a short walk (five mins) from the ferry port and directly above the front line cafes and restaurants on the harbour side.
We had a front room overlooking the restaurants and while there was a little bit of gentle noise from the street below in the evening, it didn’t prove problematic for us at all. The harbour side is quite sleepy in the morning so morning noise was not a problem at all.
Rooms are basic but perfectly acceptable. Simply furnished but very clean and freshened up daily. All of the rooms are different. Different sizes and with different views. There are also some great communal areas with washing lines and maidens to hang out your wet beachwear and towels.
The best part was the wonderful welcome and friendly service from Alexandra who was great from start to finish. A really quirky hidden gem. We loved it, thank you.

  Travelled the world – this is a gem  – Ok all of what has been said before is absolutely true. This is renovated traditional building. It is absolutely stunning in terms of location and ambiance. To get to Sotos… read more get off the Ferry, turn right, and walk along the quayside for 100m. It is nestled amongst the shops and Tavernas. Location wise it couldn't be better. Clean rooms, nice bathrooms and plenty of hot water. Shower screens of the clingy curtain type and definitely not made for two but hey honeymooners won't notice. Run by the charming Alex, a straight talking but lovely woman who has been running Sotos for 30+ years. The rooms all have single abutting beds many with three for families. Some rooms overlook the Tavernas which was fine for me. If you want really quiet rooms go for the ones around the courtyard at the back. If you want a view or the harbour rooms 1, 2 and 7 are the go. Wooden floors (that creak in the night) and stairs. If you have any questions just give Alex an email. She seems to respond quickly. Tea and coffee making facilities in the shared kitchen. You could cook there but why would you when you could go downstairs to any number of cheap places? Wi Fi available.

  A beautiful gem of a place on a wonderful island!  – We, my husband, myself and my two children who are now teenagers, have been going here now for many years and consider Alex as one of our very best friends!… read more Pension Sotos could not be considered as the height of luxury but it is clean, comfortable and very unique. It is a haven on the waterfront of Skopelos main harbour and very close to some very good tavernas, bars and cafes. It is not noisy although at the very heart of things,the two terraces within the heart of this traditional Skopelitan home are a tranquil place to sit and read, have breakfast or just a few late night glasses of wine with friends. If you want a pool there are some hotels in Skopelos town within easy walking distance that do not mind you using their facilities or you can catch one of the many local buses that run throughout the day to go to the beaches, all of which are so beautiful! A holiday at Pension Sotos is laid back and traditional, a world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and a true place in which to unwind.
