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.

My experience with RoutePerfect was fantastic! I really appreciate your service's help in planning my Europe trip! The planning process was seamless Everything was just fantastic with RoutePerfect, so again I thank you. I was very satisfied - 10 out of 10 with RoutePerfect. The package price was reasonable. In fact, I have already told several friends who are planning upcoming Europe trips about it, and they will be using it!

Thank you for helping to make our trip smooth and memorable. Most of the hotels were quite nice and the service was great, especially at the Doubletree by Hilton where they were very accommodating. I did take advantage of the information you provided regarding suggested sites, I found your website very helpful and I have already recommended it to various friends before travelling abroad.
