General: Crazy nightlife and beautiful beaches

Thu, 22 May 2008 08:11:21 GMT

I was recommended by some friends to go to Ios last summer and it was indeed a truly fun holiday. The beaches were gorgeous, the nightlife was crazy and the village of Chora very beautiful. My favorite beaches were Mylopotos and Manganari but you should spend some time to go to all beaches. Also check out some churches and Homer�s tomb. Even if you have visited other Greek islands, Ios will ama...

General: I will definitely go again

I took a plane to Athens and from there a ferry-boat to Ios Island. I discovered the island in a magazine and read more about it on the internet, so I decided to visit it. Before my arrival there, I thought Ios was an island with beautiful beaches, sea, offering at the same time fun for young people, and indeed, that's what it is! I recommend this island to everyone. I liked most the beaches of...

General: If you are not a teen do not stop at Ios

Thu, 22 May 2008 08:11:21 GMT

I came to Greece by plane from Italy and then took the boat to Ios from the port of Piraeus. I myself had the brilliant idea of visiting it. I thought it would be an island full of picturesque villages and beaches, but I was disappointed when I saw that it wasn�t what I expected. Although the landscapes, the villages and the beaches are beautiful, when it comes to peace and quiet, Ios is not th...

General: Life is easy and simple

Thu, 22 May 2008 08:11:21 GMT

I love IOS because life is easy and simple: the young people have a good spirit to party, the greek of IOS are nicer than in those in Mykonos. Parties are cool, you change of disco several time in one night. If you like volley ball, some people are coming every year to play at Mylopotas beach Food is ok, but nothing special. Nevertheless I advice you to go Harmony Restaurant, this place is bet...

General: Ios has some of the most beautiful beaches

Thu, 22 May 2008 08:11:21 GMT

Ios has some of the most beautiful beaches that we visited on our trip to the Greek islands (Mylopotas, Manganari, Theodori). This island made for a beautiful daytrip adventure driving around the high mountains and visiting Homer's tomb, beaches and the mountain top views. Nightlife was young and not very good if you are above 20 yrs old. The village at night seemed a little dangerous too. T...

General: A lot to do on the island

I left from Montreal with a regular flight with a transfer in Switzerland and then I continued my trip to Ios by ferry boat. Ios was a recommendation of some friends of mine, and indeed, I loved it! It is a beautiful island with perfect landscapes, although it has almost no green at all, very nice beaches with crystal waters, the best one was in Mylopotas. The favorite thing on the island was F...
