Ios is the ideal destination for all kinds of “party animals” and seekers of great fun and entertainment. |

As Mykonos or Paros, Ios is one of the busiest and must touristy island of the Cyclades. It offers a wide range of bars and night clubs as well as cheap drinks and fun.
It is the Mecca for all the young people and those who are feeling young, a club-island in a state of eternal party. |
| But Ios also has a calmer and more peaceful side: for those who want to relax and see the island, Ios has many beautiful beaches among which a lot are still calm and unexploited, an amazing capital, an interesting rocky landscape and some archaeological sites.
