Skala Sunset Hotel and Spa

"We had an amazing stay at Skala. The room was really cool and roomy and very clean and modern. The pool and bar area were fantastic and the sunset and general view outstanding and will stay with me for a lifetime. A very exceptional experience and lovely family that own and run it"

"Hotel was so tastefully and creatively done. The staff was super attentive, welcoming and helpful. The location was perfect in terms of being close enough to town but far enough to feel like a quiet paradise. Everything about how it was designed was to promote relaxation and tranquility from the glistening lighting in the rooms at night, to the giant lounger on our deck to the pages highlighted in a book in our room that was opened every night to a different passage for us to read before bed. Well done! I also loved their Pathos sister property. Even my critical teens loved it!! We will be back - and will definitely check out the other properties on the island. Thank you Elias and crew for an amazing time!"

"Getting off the ferry at Ios was the most pleasant of 4 stops. Our hotel transfer was waiting for us immediately after exiting ship. This whole exit the ferry process took less than 5 minutes to sit in the transfer. The ride was lengthy but scenic, lots of mountain, valley, coastline and sun plants. When you arrive at the property you immediately see this picturesque resort in the middle of the rocky island with beautiful natural appeal. Exiting the private transfer and walking up to the front entrance you are greeted by a concierge front desk staff member to show you the property and offer you a welcome drink. We were blown away by the design of the property filled with custom statues and murals all with the purpose of separating negative from positive and help set the tone for your stay. Our concierge specialist Ioannis also assisted me in setting up a birthday surprise for my wife via email, he arranged for her favorite flowers, balloons, a delicious birthday cake and a staff birthday card to make my wife's special day that much better (he must have told the entire staff of her birthday because she was celebrated everywhere we went), my only responsibility was to get my wife out of the room and their beautiful spa provided the perfect cover. We both received spa treatments and I for one almost fell asleep during the massage. Breakfast (included) provides lots of a la carte and buffet options, leaving any taste satisfied. The lunch and dinner options are room service, main restaurant, and a fine dining experience with optional wine paring. Sommelier Fillipos expertly selects the accompanying wine for the 9 course meal, he explains why he chose the wine, where it comes from, its history, and some of the flavor profile in a way that is not overbearing. The fine dining meal was fantastic every dish named after a different Greek island really gives you a sample of places you may not have the time to visit. Our personal favorite was dish 6 (a cacio e pepe) and our least favorite was 2 (sardines presented in a finger food dish). Mariana was our waitress staff member at the fine dining restaurant Chez, she was really nice and even helped my wife down a flight of steps since her heels were of the 'ooolala' variety. The main restaurant is simple yet refined, and the selection is varied for all tastes (includes vegetarian, vegans, pescatarians, and carnivores like myself). 2 of the most memorable wait staff members were Maria and George, both assisting us on multiple occasions throught our stay (there were more great staff members but I failed to gain their names during our 3 night stay). The F&B manager Taros (I hope spelled that way *sorry if not) was great and very welcoming, he was always present and observing the performance of the establishment. Our most memorable moments were at the beautifully designed main bar conveniently located in the middle of the main restaurant and stocked with some of the rarest fine whiskeys, tequilas, gins, and rums "

Parthenon

Petra Holiday Village

"We had a fantastic stay at this charming hotel on the beautiful Greek island of Ios. The view from the terrace is simply stunning — overlooking the beach and the bay, it’s the perfect spot to relax and take in the surroundings. The apartments are spacious and thoughtfully designed, blending beautifully into the natural landscape. Everything feels harmonious and peaceful. Service was outstanding — Lisa and the entire team made us feel incredibly welcome and cared for throughout our stay. The beach is just steps away from the hotel, making it super convenient for a morning swim or a relaxing day by the sea. Breakfast is available at the hotel’s charming little bar, and it’s truly worth trying. Delicious and fresh — the perfect start to the day. Bonus tip: Don’t miss the Mojito Mastiha at the bar — a unique and refreshing twist on the classic cocktail. Highly recommended!"
