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

First of all, the service from your team was great. When I rang customer service, the lady I spoke to was really helpful. RoutePerfect made planning our trip really easy. The site is fantastic in that it prices your overall trip for you and then allows you to change your hotels if you want to, updating the price as you go along. It was great to have everything paid in advance and to have the prepaid vouchers. the hotel staff all seemed familiar with this method.

As far as your suggested package was concerned, it suited us perfectly. Before we travelled, we knew what we wanted but didn’t really know how to go about it as we knew little about the cities we wanted to visit, or the hotels which would do the job. My wife just happened upon your website and it really did a great job for us - just enter the cities we wanted to visit and hey, presto! An itinerary! Everywhere we went, the hotels were expecting us and the trip went according to plan. We were happy with the general quality and price of the hotels, and your site was a great help, so we thoroughly enjoyed the break. Thanks!
