About Ios
Ios has long had a reputation as a party island, and Chora, high above the harbour, is one of the busiest nightlife spots in the Cyclades during summer. By day the picture changes completely: Mylopotas is a long, quiet sandy beach perfect for recovering from the night before.
Outside the center, Ios quickly grows quieter, with secluded bays and footpaths toward the tomb of Homer in the north. For anyone looking for a lively first stop on a route before things calm down on a later island, Ios is a natural choice.

Tips
- Mylopotas is the best beach to recover from the nightlife during the day.
- Take a day trip to the quieter Manganari bay in the south.
- Book accommodation outside Chora if you actually want to sleep during your stay.
- Ios pairs well with a calmer island afterwards, like Sifnos or Folegandros.
