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

I found the process really easy. Simple layout and lots of options. It was helpful to see the route, allowing me to choose towns better ensuring that the journey would not take us out of our way. Four of our hotels where within easy walking distance of the city center. The hotels were very easy to find with the use of your paperwork and a sat nav. All in all it was a fantastic holiday visiting five countries in ten days. Five different cultures and five different experiences. I am happy to recommend all the hotels we stayed in.

We had a wonderful time. Whenever we talk about our trip with others, we often start with how cool of a website we found to plan our trip. All of the hotels we booked through you were excellent. We will definitely be using your site again on our next vacation, whenever that may be!
