Ios Reviews -General

Ios was our next stop to the Greek islands. After five days in Paros, we thought about going for 3 days to Ios before we set home. Well, actually, these two islands look much alike, only Ios is more quiet. There are bars but they are concentrated in Chora. In the beaches, there are beach bars but they usually close at midnight. What I noted is that this is mostly the island of teenagers. In Paros, you could see many young people at bars, but in Ios most were under 18 in clubs and bars. Some were drinking a lot and were doing stupid things, like swimming at night, drunken, you know kids. You should really take care of them with police men patrolling or baywatchers at night. That is how serious accidents happen!! The beaches of Ios are nice: long, sandy and clean. Maganari and Koubara are the best. Mylopotas was very crowded, there was no room to sit. Chora was nice but typical: white houses and paved streets as usual. I think Naoussa on Paros had a more personal and traditional style.
