Studio Kilindra
This boutique haunt just below the castle in Hora looks straight down to the bay and has atmospheric, split-level rooms of dark-stained wood, clay floors, kitchenettes and nautical prints on the walls.
Manganas
The little resort of Livadi lies in the heart of a fertile valley 2km from Hora. Its wide pebble and fine-gravel beach is one of the best on the island, but can get fairly crowded in summer.

Hotel Australia
This long-popular hotel has well-kept rooms with fridge and phone, and a friendly Greek-Australian owner. There's an excellent in-house restaurant, too. You'll find it tucked away on the north side of Skala harbour.
Hotel Maltezana Beach
The most expensive accommodation in Maltezana, and on the island overall, is Hotel Maltezana Beach on the middle section of the foreshore.
Camping Astypalea
To the east of Skala is the easterly wing of the 'butterfly' - the waist being marked by a narrow isthmus that barely joins the two halves of the island.
Akti Rooms
Peaceful Akti is on the northeast side of the harbour and perched above the rocks and turquoise bay. Rooms are cosy with wall hangings, shell lights and beautiful sea views. The studios have kitchenettes.
Hotel Paradissos
Overlooking the harbour, stylish Paradissos has mint-green rooms with sofas, ornate lamps, balconies and an extra bed for kids if you need it. There’s a great cafe downstairs with fine sea views and an attached travel agency.
Thalassa Hotel
Just up from Akti, Thalassa’s 12 rooms boast incredible views of the harbour and bay from their spacious roof terraces. The rooms are marble floored with four-poster beds, Caribbean-blue fittings and floral bedspreads.
Avra Studios
Right on the beach, these quaint older rooms have kitchenettes and balconies. You can literally fall out of bed onto the sand.
Villa Varvara
Villa Varvara has 12 blue-and-white painted studios overlooking a vegetable garden and is just 100m from the beach; all have TV and fridge.
Maltezana Rooms
Maltezana Rooms is a pretty reasonable option, just east of the quay set back 50m from the beach.
Kaith Rooms
Just off the road leading to Hora, Kaith’s rooms are spotless, colourfully decorated and have great sea views from the communal balcony. Each has a TV, fridge, kitchenette and tasteful furnishings.
