We loved the Skala Hotel. Our host and his family was so amazing and accommodating. Kyriakos came and picked us up at the port and he told us about Ios as we took a short drive up to where we were staying. The hotel is super cool. There's a bar area with a pool and the view of the town from below is beautiful and has amazing sunsets. It's a very close walk to town but you will have to walk up a hill to get back, which isn't terrible but something to keep in mind. Kyriakos and his family also work at a restaurant called the Mills and that was some of the best food and service that we had in our entire trip. We forgot our passport after we left the island and Kyriakos was extremely responsive and sent someone to catch a ferry to drop the passport off and didn't charge us anything. That could have ruined our entire trip but because of his amazing hospitality and dependability, he saved our trip. Highly recommend staying here.
