Monastery of Agios Gerasimos

Very helpful staff and clean and modern room.

Great place to stay in the centre of Skala and easy access to all the restaurants in the main street. Breakfast amazing with good choices from a full and light breakfast menu,ie Full English, Eggs Benedict and advocado and smoked ham on toast,all delicious and served by a lovely team of friendly waitresses. The little shaded courtyard makes the experience very pleasant. Rooms are cleaned to perfection every day by a lovely lady who even helped us with our cases on the last day.Thank you ! Worth noting that the shower is very small and the floor tends to get soaked. On one occasion it flooded into the kitchen area. I took a window squeedgy which was very handy to use to direct the water into the drains as no mop provided. Also i took over door hooks to hang over the shower cubicle to hang toiletry bags and towels as no shelves or anything to put your toiletries on in the bathroom. I would say beware if you book the rooms with the mezzanine bedroom for young children or anyone for that matter.I am a fit 60 year old and although getting up was easy enough,to come down you have to sit on the edge of the floor and find the top step of the ladder.I did it once and then never again! Much too dangerous. Receptionist had obviously had lots of complaints when i mentionned this to her. Could easily be rectified by moving ladder steps forward and adding a top platform and handrail,but still the room would be too dangerous for children to use. I would book a twin room in future.
