I need advice on Alexander studios in Skala Potamia

mapet

Has anyone stayed at Alexander studios in Skala Potamia? The place looks great in the pictures but I cannot seem to find a review anywhere, from someone who has been there. I am also having difficulty communicating with them via e-mail. I ask a question about the property and they answer me with short generic sentences, not responding with the answer. Perhaps they just don't know English well but I just wanted some advice from someone that has been there.
Thanks!

Hi Mapet,

I have not stayed at Alexander Studios as a guest, but I have been there before and I also know the owners. Maybe I can help?

The location is great, right next to the sea and a short walk from 2 sandy beaches, Golden Beach (Skala Panagia) and Golden Coast Beach (Skala Potamia). The beach immediately in front of Alexander Studios is rocky but it becomes sandy further out.

The accommodation is self-catering and provides basic facilities for preparing food and drinks. The view from the front balconies facing the sea is spectacular.

The family is very nice and they know limited English but enough to get by. Some things may be getting lost in translation so try to keep questions short and simple to help them understand exactly what you want to know.

Hope this helps. I'll be happy to answer any more questions you have (if I can)!

Thank you Augie! That was really helpful! As I suspected our communication probably wasn't going that well because they didn't understand 100% of my e-mails.

If anyone else can also contribute, I would be grateful.

Cheers

I stayed at a studios called SUZANNA's and the guy who ran it also had a tavern called Alexander which is on the beach. He was telling me (2005) that he was thinking of changing name to Alexander. If it is the same place, it was very good, clean and well managed. His English was perfect as was his bar staff.
