Greece Ios Ios Town

The main village on the island of Ios, this white hilltop village stands below the ruins of a Venetian castle.

Ios is a Greek island in the Cyclades group in the Aegean Sea. The village of Chora is the main village - a picturesque cycladic village, full of stairs and narrow paths that make it inaccessible for cars of any kind. Today, the main path through this village is completely taken over by tourism in terms of restaurants, boutiques, bars and discothèques. Apart from the village of Chora, Ios has only a few small settlements - just a group of spread out houses in the background of major beaches - Theodoti, Kalamos and Maganari. The beach of Mylopotas is highly popular having been developed to the equivalent of a mass package tourism resort.

Panagia Gremiotissa, Ios Town

It was the first time my wife and I took a trip where we were dependent on public transport, so being confident in the hotel arrangements was essential to us. The trip was an experiment to see if we would enjoy this kind of holiday, and the answer is a big yes and we intend to go on more ambitious journeys in the future. RoutePerfect provides an excellent service to anyone wishing to plan a holiday that can be molded to fit your individual requirements. Response to inquiries were quick and I would not hesitate to recommend RoutePerfect. Keep up the good work, we hope to be in touch in the near future.

The planning process was easy and there was constant access to support via the website. The itinerary was ideal and worked really well for us. The hotels were both very good - and slightly quirky - which was great. The price was very reasonable and the trip was very good value. We were very pleased with the trip. We will definitely be using the site again.
