Ios Reviews -General

For me Ios is one of the best places I have ever been to, it?s like paradise.
A lot of guides are criticising this island, saying that it is full of drunken people or people on drugs and that if you want to go for a drink, you have to step over numerous bodies.

That?s all bullocks. Okay, you have many people in the bars and clubs and in the narrow streets of the lovely capital after midnight but it is more like a party where everyone is invited and everyone is happy.
And if you want to pass a quieter or a romantic night you can always go to a beach and admire the stars.
Another thing that only a few guides do mention is that Ios is full of incredible long sandy beaches with fantastic crystal waters which are totaly deserted (in opposition to the always crowded Mylopotamos) even in high season; and with a little searching you will certainly find a deserted beach or cove, like a private paradise. There are just difficult to access and maybe a jeep is necesary (rentals available). But that all the charm about it and a guaranty that no people will be there.
As I couldn't afford a jeep I had rent a motobike and we accessed the beaches without too much problems (poor bike!).
